>"Do you remember that Superman episode.. where he was, like, spinning around the Earth backwards trying to rotate it in the other direction, to bring back time?"

Coincidentally, I'm noticing these Superman references in the things I'm watching lately. _Mindhunter_ and now this. Maybe it's telling me something about the upcoming _Justice League_ (2017) film.
Anyway, I caught _Blue Crush_ on Flix channel. I mistaken this for the Jessica Alba/Paul Walker one, _Into the Blue_ (2005). Paul Walker and Michelle Rodriguez, both of _The Fast and the Furious_ fame, would later star in these separate surfer films. This is basically a chick flick for surfer chicks; a film of its time identified by its fun soundtrack including "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama and the rap rock song "Youth of the Nation" by P.O.D. The bikinis and crashing of the waves remind me of the beach and summer time. While the sound design may be nice to hear on a sound system, I do like some of the slow motion and underwater angled shots, which sometimes seemed to be repeated. If this was made today, we'd get more cinematic overhead drone shots like in the new _Baywatch_ (2017). A Xbox logo can be spotted midway through, and there even featured an actual Xbox game that the girls play called _Transworld Surf_ from Atari which was pretty good for its time. Story-wise, it's your typical boy meets girl romance while girl reaches for her dream goal. It's kept simple, nothing to be desired by; less action than the Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze surfer, _Point Break_ (1991), and more along the lines of the Disney original film, _Johnny Tsunami_ (1999). But seeing this makes me want to go surfing. I've always wanted to try surfing. If I lived in California or Hawaii, I'd hang at the beach all the time. Now I gotta see _Into the Blue_.
