Movie Reviews of Thicker Than Water
Movie Review: good surf film
Summary: 5 Stars
Nice video from the malloys and jack. Filmed in quite a few different locations..australia(no exact spot was specified), the big island of hawaii, the north show of oahu, indonesia, ireland and tahiti. The directors commentary is worth watching multiple times and the segments with shane dorian and kelly slater are both very good. It was also nice to see ireland in a surf film...somewhere kinda different from the norm.
The photography is really great...shot on a 25 year old 16mm camera, gives it a nice feel..not blurry and not digital looking. Also kinda neat is the bonus footage for holes to heaven, a song jack wrote while filming this project. The great thing is that I bet that quite a few fans of jack's music have no idea he's a great filmmaker and surfer too.
The green board (hobknobber) segment makes more sense also when you watch the commentary also the names of almost all the surfers are told while they are surfing in the commentary...seems as though most of the reviewers here missed that point. The waves are generally pretty average with the only great waves being a couple in ireland and a spot in tahiti that isn't teahupoo but it looks real nearly identical exept it spits way harder(according to the directors). Definitely would reccomend this video to just about anyone that's even considering buying it and for the price it's really a great deal.
Movie Review: Perfect for the summer party
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, I did play it at every party this summer. It's a perfect mix. Hip, dreamy, fun, funky, smooth and sweet. Sweet! It's an education to cool music. It's Jack Johnson and the guys on a roll/wave of creating totally great music. I highly recommend this!Movie Review: I love it!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this album more than all of Jack Johnson albums. The combination of other kinds of musical instruments gives it an experimental touch. Very soothing and lovable.Movie Review: Good soundtrack, less than exciting footage
Summary: 2 Stars
I just bought this DVD and am very disappointed. Yes, the soundtrack is good, however the footage is very boring. Some sections of the movie (like the surf session with the old "singlefin green") are nice for the soul content, but the rest is very, very substandard surfing (nothing really amazing on the wave size or on the "gnarliness" of the moves). I haven't watched the bonus video yet, but I don't think it'll be that good to change my rating. If you're looking for soul content, you're much better off buying "Singlefin Yellow". If you want to buy this for the soundtrack, then buy the CD.Movie Review: great video
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been listening to Jack Johnson for the past several years and I love his music. This video gives you the inspiration for his music. In addition the surfing footage is great, and I loved the bonus video as much as the rest of the film. If you like to surf and or you are a Jack Johnson fan you cannot go wrong with video.
