Stoked & Broke (2010)
Loved it!
It presents a well-rounded perspective of the surfing lifestyle. The characters are endearing and have depth. It carries the viewer from the carefree perspective of two young men who live to surf, to the more somber reality of an older generation who gave their life to surfing. Teaches life lessons in balancing both the pleasures and responsibilities of life. By the end of the movie, I felt a connection to the characters. I related to their needs and desires, despite theirs being a lifestyle that I have never know. This film presents well this human experience and looks at it from a broad perspective. I enjoyed it thoroughly and recommend it to others. It makes this 39 year old woman want to take up surfing.
Pound of Flesh (2010)
Shallow, unthought out, horrible acting
Perhaps they relied to much on more well known actors, or having more funding than the average independent film, but this movie was horrible. Bad acting, shallow characters, botchy story line thrown together haphazardly. The "F" word flying constantly to force some sense of tension and angst. I was in misery the entire movie, but sat in the middle of the theater and hated to get up and leave disrupting others viewing of the film. It was like a poorly crafted, tediously drawn out CSI. CSI is 100% better in every way. What a waste of funds to create such junk. Feed starving kids in the world instead. Create a scholarship for desperate female students.
