Ground Swell: The Other Side of Fear 2023 Movie Review Trailer Poster Online

The logical thing, the sane thing, is to stay on the ground. But they row. Why are these big wave surfers risking their lives to ride these mountain-sized waves? The answer is to overcome fear. "Ground Swell: The Other Side of Fear" is an in-depth look at the 2021-22 big wave season through the eyes of Nic Von Rupp, Kai Lenny, Matt Bromley, Torrey Meister, and pioneering surfer Bianca Valenti. They all get over their fear and find out what's on the other side as they take on monster waves at locations like Nazare in Portugal, Jaws and Pipeline in Hawaii, and Mavericks in Northern California.

If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that surf cinema is as important now as it ever was. As vlogs and TikkeyTokketies, Instagrams, and OnlyFanses become more and more plentiful, the art of long-form, thoughtful storytelling shines even brighter. The Florida Surf Film Festival is one such example of greatness, showcasing curated artwork after curated artwork.

“I was wondering why the hell we care to see crazy people riding big waves,” she replied. “What makes it interesting and compelling? And not from me, but the surfers talked about how they deal with fear and if a wacko like me can see them overcome fear in the water, I can think of overcoming fear in my life, from asking for a raise to doing my best. That fear is a tool, fear is a device and if by seeing a maniac riding a giant Nazare or Pipe or Mavericks and getting over the fear of him, maybe I can make my life a little better.”

The multiple Emmy Award winner, in his prime and best known in our world for producing Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau, has spent the last three years of his life following some of the best big wave surfers in the world, including Kai.

Heated Rivalry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about two rising hockey stars who fall passionately in love. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin entered the NHL in 2005. For more than 20 years, the Canadian star and his Russian counterpart have waged one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. They've won titles, medals, and scoring crowns, and both are still playing (with the same franchises that drafted them), having earned their place among hockey's all-time elite. Creator: Jacob Tierney Stars: Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Callan Potter That's the underlying premise at the heart of HBO Max and Crave's new six-part romantic drama, Heated Rivalry, based on the book by Rachel Reid and written and directed by Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney. Don't expect many direct similarities to Letterkenny, though. Heated Rivalry may have some comedic elements, as relationships between passionate men are often entertaining, but it's a sincere a...

Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

The ending of Kantara: Chapter 1 returns us to the original film, a sequence in which young Shiva wonders what happened to the well that physically existed there many years ago, when the Naga tribe lived in harmony with nature, only to be forced to endure the invasion and destruction of the land they were supposed to protect. The film is a winding tale of three cultures, two of which seem to drive the story about class and greed similarly to the original film; however, the third element is the Kadapa tribe, a people who seek to appropriate the power of the deities for themselves rather than worship them. At its core, it's a film about unity. It's about bringing people together to merge tradition with contemporary ideology. Kantara: Chapter 1 takes us directly into the heart of the Bangra Kingdom, a prosperous state with trade and all modern amenities, but with a powerful and greedy king.
