What kind of Blog is this?

I decided to combine two activities, getting in shape on the elliptical machine (hence the title of the blog) and watching movies on my tablet device. What a perfect world! I am a really big fan of the movies and love all genres. You will see discussions on Sci-Fi, Horror, Historical, Romance, Comedy, Drama, Classics, and so on. Watching a movie instantly makes the hour spent working out simply fly by! I have decided to watch movies that I am interested in and then discuss how I enjoyed the movie. Hard to really call it a review seeing that most of the movies have already been released nationally. I will rate each on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being the best). Most of the movies that I discuss will be movies that appear on Cable TV. So if you were hesitant about watching a particular movie, you can utilize my commentary before you sit down and watch.

Blue Crush 2


In this sequel, we meet Dana (Sasha Jackson) a young girl still devastated and haunted by the death of her mother.  Although her memories of her mother have faded, she still has her mother's treasured possessions, her surfboard and her journal.  Dana truly believes that she is like her mother in every way, a "free spirit."  Her father, on the other hand, totally disagrees and pushes Dana to accept the fact that she will be sent of to college soon, following in her dad's footsteps.  Dana has a hard time accepting this and after reading one of her mother's final journal entry; where she discusses taking Dana to her homeland of South Africa and taking her to a variety of surfing destinations, she decides to make the journey for herself.


Leaving a simple note for her dad, Dana arrives in South Africa a mere 23 hours later.  Trying to make it to the beach, she catches a ride and meets a young South African woman named Pushy (Elizabeth Mathis) who is a fellow surfer.  Pushy welcomes Dana into her family, which is made up of a bunch of ex-pats and locals.  Pushy also encourages Dana to follow mother's journey and surf each location.


This movie is nothing like the original and the acting is pretty bad, well very bad. I would not even recommend it for anyone to watch.


I give it a 1 out of 10.


Next up is "Dream House."
