Review: "Soul Surfer" (2011)- written April 10, 2011

This isn't my typical kind of movie but I was interested by the trailer. Of course a character loses an arm so I guess it's close. Anyways, it is a good movie. Heck, I'll call it Great. The synopsis just writes itself 'A surfer loses her arm in a shark attack but despite the tragedy she eventually goes on to compete in professional level surfing events'. There's just something about a one-armed girl who overcomes her 'disability' to keep on surfing, it could be the fact that I think one-armed girls are very pretty but I don't know. So the movie is mainly about trials and getting through them. Romance is kept to a minimal, gore is barely existant, and slow motion shots appear about as frequently as they do in a 'Resident Evil' movie. There is also one other thing about the movie, probably one of my favourite lines in a movie ever is in "Soul Surfer":
"I don't need easy, I just need possible". So yeah, go see it if you are interested. I do look forward to having it as a blu-ray on my shelf, once I get a new one because 62 blu-rays is a tight fit.
