First Look at High-5

Transworld's latest film, High-5, makes me feel like a teenager again. And I mean that in a good way. Drunk on the likes of Modern Collective, Castles in the Sky, and their ilk, I didn't realize how much I missed watching a film that wasn't necessarily out to mesmerize me with some RED Camera-quality imagery, but rather about making me want to go surf until I watched High-5.

The premise to the movie was simple: take five surfers, capture them in waves that make you hate your homebreak, and set it all to a really good soundtrack. Voile. You've got yourself a surf movie. But somewhat reminiscent of the old ...Lost movies and Jesse Schluntz's Teardevils series,the best elements in the film are the random s--t that's seemingly worked in sporadically.

Whether it's a girl doing a back-bend in a thong or what appears to be Japanese anime, something about the absurdity totally works in High-5. That and Andy's section make this a film that I plan on watching repeatedly. The movie may not blow you away, but damn, it sure makes you want to go surf with a bunch of your friends. High-5 is definitely worth a look.
