Blue Crush

When I first saw the billboard ads for Blue Crush, I immediately dismissed it as bikini-strewn trash. Then I heard some good buzz about it, so I was anxious to see the movie. It actually ended up being pretty good and not too formulaic. On top of the amazing surfing scenes and amazing (ahem) bikini scenes, I found the way that the movie examined the dual cultures of a vacation hot spot like Hawaii really interesting. When you're visting a place, you don't get to see the "real" place ... and there's a whole subculture of people that work to (surf/sky/fish ... you name it).
