| Surfin' Shorts : 3 of 5 | |

 If you read my review of Endless Summer, then you know how much I enjoy watching surfing. I looked around on Netflix and quickly discovered that Bruce Brown made many other surfing films besides Endless Summer, so I put them in my queue to help me ring in the sunny weather. Surfin' Shorts contains three short films. The first is a very interesting TV spot where he talks about styles of surfing with a sportscaster, and then there are two "infomercials" (or the 60s equivalent) where Bruce spends a lot of time narrating about swimming trunks while we watch some boys surf. The other informercial is about skateboarding, made when it was an entirely new sport - you certainly wouldn't see barefoot kids with no pads and helmets doing those tricks today! Bruce Brown's style is so laid back and unpretentious - it's just tons of fun to watch.Labels: dvds |
