Movie Reviews of Lords of Dogtown (Unrated Extended Cut)
Movie Review: RAD film! Very accurate/historic portrayal of the 70's skate scene!
Summary: 5 Stars
WOW WOW WOW is all I have to say about this film! It portrayed a piece of Americana history so accurately and convincingly, it could have passed as a documentary (OK- not really, but you get the point). I'm 48 now, but I can clearly remember the skateboarding scene back in the 70's, since my brother and I were afficionados. Even back in the NYC area and Jersey, skateboarding caught on bigtime because of the media attention brought on by skate giants like Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta. I can remember the many skateboard shops that opened up, even in music/head shops or bicycle shops as a 'side business'. We then even built our own 'half pipes' in our backyards, and ate up every issue of 'Skateboarder' magazine. We found out where skateboard parks opened up, and had our parents drive us there (before we were old enough to get a driver's license). We pored over, and debated about Bahne, G&S, Alva, and Banzai boards. Ditto regarding which wheels and trucks were the best (I liked Bennett, Tracker, Red Rider, Green Alligator, and Bonez). I digress. Anywho, major kudos to all involved in making this highly entertaining film, and thank you for transporting us back to that era and subculture! GREAT JOB!
Summary of Lords of Dogtown (Unrated Extended Cut)
LORDS OF DOGTOWN tells the radical true story behind three teenage surfers from Venice Beach, California, who took skateboarding to the extreme and changed the world of sports forever. Stacy Peralta (John Robinson, Elephant), Tony Alva (Victor Rasuk, Raising Victor Vargas) and Jay Adams (Emile Hirsch, The Girl Next Door) are the Z-Boys, a bunch of nobodies until they create a new style of skateboarding that becomes a worldwide phenomenon. But when their hobby becomes a business, the success shreds their friendship. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (thirteen) and written by Stacy Peralta, Lords of Dogtown is "...a dazzling daredevil ride." (Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE)Lords of Dogtown captures the sheer kinetic joy of skateboarding like no other movie (except, perhaps, Dogtown and Z Boys, a documentary about the very skateboarders this movie depicts). Set in the mid-1970s in Venice, CA--a.k.a. Dogtown--the movie starts with three young aspiring surfers turned skateboarders: Stacy (John Robinson, Elephant), Jay (Emile Hirsch, The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys), and Tony (Victor Rasuk, Raising Victor Vargas). When alpha-stoner Skip (Heath Ledger, A Knight's Tale) recognizes the potential of skateboarding as a new sport, his surf shop becomes the center of the boys' universe. They swiftly rise as skateboarding stars and find their brotherhood threatened by sex, money, fame, and ego--it's a common enough story, but director Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen) has a gift for capturing the raw messiness of life. Lords of Dogtown seems to unfold haphazardly, yet every scene moves the increasingly dizzy rise (or fall) of each skater forward with headlong momentum. The excellent cast includes Rebecca De Mornay (Risky Business), Johnny Knoxville (Jackass: The Movie), and Nikki Reed (Thirteen). Lords of Dogtown, written by skater Stacy Peralta (and based on his own life), both celebrates the excitement of testosterone-fueled recklessness and quietly reflects on the cost of getting what you want. --Bret Fetzer
