Cheesy movie of the week: Blue Crush

So, when I mentioned to my husband that I had netflixed Blue Crush, he got this expression on his face: half confusion/half derision. “Is that that surfing movie?” he asked. Okay, I was totally embarrassed, but I had a day off and wanted to do something girly. Since I am stoked for my impending trip to Hawaii (8 months and counting!!) I opted for a film set there. The movie is totally ridiculous (as my husband pointed out, it has almost no dramatic conflict. In fact, it was inspired by an article). BUT…the movie is filled with gorgeous people, beautiful scenery, and Kate Bosworth before she was anorexic. Her body is sick in this! I’m so jealous.

It was a totally enjoyable piece of fluff, although now I’m pretty scared of surfing. It looks terrifying (Kate Bosworth keeps banging her head on coral). But, it has some good tunes (Yay, Bob Marley! Boo, P.O.D.), cute boys (I’ve never seen so many six-packs) and a little bit of comedy courtesy of Faizon Love. So if you’re bored, into surfing, or just want to watch the lovely scenery go by, check it out.

    I find this use of the word sick to be really strange. I think she looks sick now-not then. Sarah

    You misunderstand. From the Urban Dictionary:

    NEW VERSION

    Now used as the newest word to replace cool. Something that you’ve never seen before.

    Old version:

    Mary,”I feel sick to my stomach”.

    Jess,”Ask the teacher for a Nurses’ Pass”.

    New Version

    Keegan: This Calculator is sick!

    Kass: That outfit is sick!
