Seeing “Blue Crush” made me want to see a female surfers it’s documentary about real-lif- e a compelling naturally visual topic “Dogtown touched briefly on it but focused and mostly on how surfing techniques inspired male Southern California skateboarders in dw 1970s One of the most intriguing moments happens when a female surfer competing against Anne Marie helps her grab a wave when she sees Anne Marie freeze up The fact that her sense of camaraderie superseded the competition just for one moment is perhaps the most fascinating dynamic of all “Blue Crash” a Universal Pictures release is rated PG-1- 3 for sexual content teen party- ing language and a fight Running time: 109 minutes Ttoo and a half stars (out of four) Movie review upcoming Pipe Masters competition friends repeatedly remind her “This is your dream" “This is what you were born to do” “You’re not a quitter you’re just scared” Naturally Anne Marie must return to the fain HAGAR THE HORRIBLE the gcouLPN You jv yee tender POAST PUCK WITH TRUFFLE© FROM FRANCE ANP RUSSIA N 10 THAT THE f NO ITE MOST TASTY THE MOST EXPENSIVE i ITEM ON I THE MENU? j !

Not that any of this criticism matters to the movie’s target audience “Blue Crush” represents the Britney Spears backlash in film form and on that level it hits the mark It's for all the teens who bought albums by a girls with guitars like Michelle Branch and Avril Lavigne who’d rather hang with the boys than hang onto them who’d prefer to be admired for their strength than their beauty The women of “Blue Crush” though have copious amounts of both And that’s why the movie is going to bring in a tidal wave of guys and girls — with hot young In fact it’s so MTV-read- y stars and a soundtrack featuring songs by NERD and POD and a rap remix Of Bana- narama’s “Cruel Summer” — it would seem annoyingly calculated if it weren't so fun to watch Inspired by article in Outside magazine titled “The Surf Girls of Maui" the movie follows Anne Marie her friends Eden (Michelle Rodriguez of “Girifight”) and Lena (newcomer Sanoe Lake) and her rebellious younger sister Penny (Mika Boorem of “Hearts in ' a Phish back from ' y NEW YORK ( AP) — Phish the foursome that attracted legions of touring neo- hippie fans to their concerts is returning to the hiatus stage after a two-yeThe group announced Wednesday that it will play Madison Square Garden on New Year’s set Eve That will be followed by a three-dat- e in Hampton Va starting Jan 2 More concerts are expected to be announced later: Phish formed in Vermont in the early ’80s ' and labored in relative obscurity for nearly a decade slowly building a core audience with its tours epic shows and long experimental jams that melded every type of jnusic from bluegrass to electronica Their concerts drew fans worldwide and they often played before tens of thousands of people jani-happ- MOTHER GOOSE AND GRIMM ar LUST DAD HASN'T WE T ABOUND 1MI CNMPHC NAKED CAT DRUMS M SOME AT UMCSID M STUN) “UtoN MMC-SOM- WHO'S XMMTIMrt' FOtSOMC BONDMeff WtoMSYM WELL!
