Movie Reviews of Step into Liquid
Movie Review: Warms you up on a cold winter's night
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I are skate skiers living near Tahoe and this was the perfect movie for a Saturday night in January after a day out playing in the snow. The surfers' enthusiasm for their sport is infectious. You can't help being stoked yourself when you watch the Wisconsin crew getting it done on Lake Michigan's waves, or seeing the Malloy brothers unite Protestant and Catholic kids with surfing lessons in Ireland.
The only thing lacking is a discussion of the severe localism that plagues certain beach communities and is inconsistent with the surfing happy face presented here.
But that's nitpicking....surfing movies are meant to be fun and transporting. We loved Endless Summer II, smiled and "wowed" our way through Riding Giants, and highly recommend Step Into Liquid.
Movie Review: Step Into Liquid - Simply Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd wanted to see this film for a while, but living in Kansas it came nowhere near me to a movie theater (if it did at all). I finally got around to buying the DVD and watched it last night on my television, and I'm already making plans to run it on my office computer some evening and project it onto a big wall.
The cinemaphotography is simply amazing. If you aren't impressed with the shots, you could be one of those poor souls that takes the ocean for granted. This is a film worth watching over and over again.
I replayed the Cortes Bank (Mount) sequence three times last night. Imagine riding a 66 foot wave!! If you can find this movie - rent it. If you love the ocean and respect the stoke, buy this movie immediately. You won't be disappointed.
Movie Review: ONE OF THE TOP FIVE FILMS ABOUT THE WORLD OF SURFING!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic documentary film about the world of surfing. The reviewers (on Amazon for this DVD) who gave it less than four stars, don't know very much about the history of surfing on film (and video). This is better than most, maybe one of the best. And it *is* the ULTIMATE sport! (Note: My original review had the title of "Another example why ESPN should be embarrassed" because the world's biggest sports channel never showed surfing, which "is the ultimate sport". But since I wrote that, they have released their OWN surfing, documentary DVD, with Kelly Slater, et al. How knows, maybe I had a little bit of influence? Amazon reviews are read all over the world. Maybe someone told this person, and then that person told someone else, and so on.)Movie Review: 'Just about to drown
Summary: 5 Stars
While living for 16 years in Costa Rica, my family and I noticed an ever-increasing flow of bronzed surfers through the country's main airport. Then my sons started to surf.
I figured I'd better pay attention.
This remarkable video employs gorgeous footage to illuminate the surfer subculture and the waves they catch on the way to pure joy and the occasionally bloody death.
This one is for seeing over and over again. The surfer's characteristic carefree spirit and devil-may-care attitude towards risk are endearing. The waves they ride with such grace are enthralling.
You don't have to know anything about surfing to enjoy this fabulous documentary. All you need is the capacity to admire.
Movie Review: Improving on the legacy
Summary: 5 Stars
Forget Endless Summer. OK, that was great. But this tops it, as the Brown family tradition goes far onward. A non-stop blast of great waves, colorful personalities, and just plain fun make this movie one worth watching. Everything from a quad who can surf (amazing) to the Irish surfing tradition (yes, it exists) is here. Think surfing is about "The Pipe"? Wrong. This film shows "Jaws Maui" and, better yet, a place 100 miles off San Diego that has 66 foot waves (that's not a typo). Sit back, enjoy the ride. Did I mention women surfers are in this movie? They are, although not for very long. And on the wacky side, sand surfing makes an appearance for those who find water waves a bit too much to handle. Buy this DVD. Now.
