4/7/13 - Chasing Mavericks

Gerard Butler stars in this drama based on a real life story of a surfer named Jay Moriarity. Gerard plays Frosty who is an experienced surfer and Jay is a young kid who loves to surf since he was young. Jay enlists the help of Frosty to train him survive one of the biggest waves on Earth called the Mavericks.

I admit that I wasn't really interested to watch this when I saw the trailer. It seemed like a decent movie but not something I'd go out to watch.

But earlier, I couldn't pick any movie and so I decided to get a copy of this movie. I can't really say much about it but it was actually a good family oriented movie. It can be a little dragging and boring at parts but the end makes up for it.

I didn't know it was based on a true story until before writing this but it was inspirational. The story happened mostly when he was 15 years old and I'm impressed by his surfing skills.

The acting was good and the beach is generally a nice view to look at. So if you're looking for a nice movie to watch on a calm night, go ahead and try watching this one.
