The Marion Palace Theatre is pleased to announce it will show the sports drama film “Chasing Mavericks” this weekend.
Mick LaSalle, The San Francisco Chronicle’s movie critic describes the film. “Chasing Mavericks” is the true story of Jay Moriarity (Jonny Weston), a teenager from Santa Cruz, who became famous overnight for surviving one of the worst wipe-outs in history. While surfing a wave the size of an apartment building, he fell straight down and was held underwater by the current. Moriarity went on to have a legendary surfing career.
“Chasing Mavericks” tells of Moriarity’s discovery of surfing as a child and his training, as a teenager in Santa Cruz, to surf the waves at Mavericks. The training is systematic and guided by an older surfer, Frosty (Gerard Butler), with whom he forms a father-son bond.
This film is rated PG. Run time 1 hour, 56 minutes.
