Blue Crush + North Shore Double Feature - POPtheshop.com
Blue Crush: Three Friends. One Passion. No Limits. They're friends with one passion: fulfilling their dream of living the ultimate adventure amid the island paradise of Hawaii's fabled North Shore!
Set among the white beaches and thunderous waves of Hawaii's North Shore, BLUE CRUSH is an adrenaline-drenched surf picture that boasts a star-making performance from Kate Bosworth. Bosworth is Anne Marie, a determined surfer who shares a beachside shack with her best friends Eden (Michelle Rodriguez) and Lena (Sanoe Lake), and younger sister Penny (Mika Boorem). Just days away from the infamous Rip Masters surfing contest, Anne Marie's life is thrown into turmoil. After being fired from her housekeeping job at a luxury resort hotel, she is courted by the hunky NFL quarterback Matt Tollman (Matthew Davis). As she tries to contain the wild emotions that are threatening to overwhelm her, Anne Marie tries to come to terms with a surfing accident from her past that nearly killed her. In order to survive the contest's deadly, crushing waves, Anne Marie must reach deep within herself to find the courage necessary to come out on top. With BLUE CRUSH, director John Stockwell gives the audience what they want: bikinis, music, romance, and surfing. His picture is graced with David Hennings' gorgeous photography, which captures the beauty and the excitement of the immensely popular sport.
North Shore: Turtle. Chandler. Occy. How could you not assume that this would become the quintessential cheesy Hollywood surf flick? Contains memorable movie lines like, "Scrub it, kook!"
When a wave-pool kook from Arizona wins a trip to the North Shore, his big dream turns into his biggest nightmare. Rick Kane is in over his head when he takes on Pipe, Da Hui, a local chick and Laird Hamilton in what is, for my money, one of the all-time attempts by Hollywood to cash in on the surfing lifestyle.
As usual, everyone jumped at the chance to make some easy coin and be memorialized for all time on celluloid as party to the whoring out of our culture. Occy, Robbie Page, Laird and every other 90's pro took the easy money. They will most likely regret it for the rest of their lives--we hope.
