Surfer, Dude (2008)
Not really a surfer story..
Why am i saying that? well, even when i'm not a McConaughey fan i saw the title and decided to rent it as i feel attracted to almost anything "Surf", so, as the movie began to roll i really was feeling not to continue as i really expected something more like "Jeff Spicoli"(Fast times at Ridgemont high), yeah stereotypical stoner-surfer-dude you know, funny, and this movie try's too hard to create funny scenes but i really didn't found them, contrary id found it slow, with not too many memorable moments,but you know how it is this id stay waiting for the best but didn't arrive, the part that went really really bad was when they mix the super technology stuff, this is the most anti-surfer stuff, high end simulation is the contrary of all Surf basics, the acting was so terrible in that part that i recognize i had to leave the couch and visit the kitchen, when i went back i really felt anxious to just forward scenes until i maybe could find some fun, but, again, i try to be patient, but end up the same, in conclusion, a strange movie with the wrong title, who watches this movie expecting surfing on it,is wasting time, the movie barely touch the topic, seems like the second topic on it,with very few laughs on it,.. so if you don't really have a good movie at hand (real or classic surfing movies) and want to see something that vaguely relates it give it a try,
The Grey (2011)
Kind of good but..
I was entertained , this is the word, i was really expecting more as i saw the trailer, but there's so many "mmmhh's" things that doesn't really fit well, first the airplane crash, i found it really well done, it puts you in the edge of your seat, all the noises, the "bumps" in the airplane, explosions, and suddenly ends, yeah sort of reality, but also reminds me very well, "Castaway" scene, sudden accident on board things flying around , i really felt like watching castaway from a different angle, then the "Alpha" male (the hunter) which of course fights the Alpha wolf, right?,. The clash of the two strongest cliché, then the scene inside the airplane who is just about to pass away,and Ottway saying "you are dying.." and the poor guy begins to find peace of mind,i can swear i saw it in other movie recently just i cant remember which,and what about the very very classic tough guy(Diaz) who curses and behaves as a pain in the neck who finally at the end you can see is a good person after all,the other thing i cant buy is the "serial killer" wolf instinct, come on!??,.. i'm sure wild wolves organizes to hunt and stuff , but being "evil"??,like to kill people just because they are in their zone?,.. are this kind of wolf a "special forces" type? cause they know how to kill JUST one by one, never two persons, just one by one, like to diminish the group strength, i mean hungry wolves would attack as much as they can not just one by one, i can imagine "hey there goes a bunch of meat walking " lets just kill the last guy,but is forbidden to kill another in this row,..lol, nahh, too "ideal" to make a story of "evil and giant wolves" versus good ol' guys,just doesn't works for me, surviving pictures are awesome but this is not the case, landscapes and sounds however found them very good,i can resume it as it follows: action: good, story: not good.
