    There's nothing like heading out coast-to-coast. Beat, and otherwise anti-establishment poets have glamorized the open road for years. In fact, the idea has inspired rollerbladers, runners, lawn mowers (really, look it up), and now... a Segway. 10 MPH is dubbed a "comical documentary" following two dudes who quit their jobs to Segway (is that a verb?) from Seattle to Boston in 100 days. 100 days you say? The project was launched almost 3 years ago! Although we typically avoid any films which rely on the use of "zany" in the promotional materials, this films won the Best Documentary prize at the auspicious East Lansing Film Festival. So really, how bad could it be?
