Transworld's "Get Real" Review

Jealousy and depression...and that was before the movie even started.

Going off a twitter post from the guys at Stratton, I heard about the showing of Transworld's "Get Real" at BU Central on 10/27. Some confusion finding out the details and being the only one that RSVP'd on Stratton's Facebook page left us a little skeptical as we made our way to the movie.

We made our way downstairs and found ourselves smack dab in the middle of the BU Ski & Snowboard Team's kick-off. A bunch of 18-21 year olds awaiting the start of the show and three 'older' kids trying to act like they were supposed to be there. I think we fit in just fine. The leaders of the ski club talked about upcoming trips and even a great long weekend in Montreal where they could "Party their faces off". They also had some crazy deal on a trip to Telluride. Ah, to be in college again. No...really, I want to be in college again.

The movie itself was pretty good. There was a lot of good footage and it got some of the kids nice and juiced up for the coming months. Scott Stevens' part got a great reaction from all of his fellow Massholes. And that little kid saying, "I almost got knocked the f*ck out" was priceless. The one thing I will say though is that the soundtrack needed some work. The upbeat footage needed to have a matching playlist, but a lot of the music was too slow paced and mellow. It was definitely worth the trip out, but I don't know that Get Real is a DVD I'll be picking up. I know its a tall order to try to recreate what That's It That's All was, but a little narration or footage breaks really does help to make a better experience.

That's it for today. Next up is "Warren Miller's" "Dynasty" on November 11th.

Until then...powder dreams.
