Road House

A remake of Road House is a little questionable, but when you throw UFC badass Ronda Rousey into the role originated by Patrick Swayze, things get a bit interesting. And things just got a whole lot more interesting as the project has found an unlikely director in Nick Cassavetes, son of iconic director John Cassavetes and director of…The Notebook. Of all things.

Now that Ronda Rousey has officially dominated the UFC, she’s ready to put Hollywood in a submission hold next. The actress previously set up a biopic at Paramount that she also plans on starring in, and now comes word that she’s ready to take over a classic action movie. Rousey will reportedly star in a gender-swapped Road House remake where she’d take over for the late Patrick Swayze.

Raise your hand if you went to the "Outlaw Monster Truck Spectacular" at Speedarama Raceway in Lufkin last week.  You know, there are certain things in life that are just eerily fascinating to be around.  For me  --  it's a train whistle, jet engine, and  --  M  O  N  S  T  E  R    T R U C K S!

In the 1989 Patrick Swayze/Ben Gazzara movie "Road House", there is a scene in which Swayze's character Dalton, fires the bartender  --  telling him to  --  take the train. An exceptional idea!  With summer vacation looming, why not take the train to your next destination.  Heck, don't even wait until summer.  De-stress with a weekend get-a-away!
