DVD Reviews of Lords of Dogtown (Unrated Extended Cut)

DVD Review: Funky film-making
Summary: 5 Stars

I don't give a whit about skateboarding. It's got to be the most annoying activity known to man. But this movie is a real thrill-ride, not because of the content, but because of the quality poured into the technical aspects. Shot in a violently saturated color motif, it's full of 70s surfer dudes who look quite contemporary as they depict the morphing of surfing into skateboarding in a true tale written by one of the dudes portrayed in the film. Great 70s soundtrack, to boot. I'd never heard of any of these people, but evidently they are legends in the field. They all appear in the extras, and some are extras in the film. Very entertaining from a film standpoint, if not content. The late Heath Ledger plays a stoner surf shop owner who invents the notion of a skateboard team back in Venice, Ca., when it wasn't full of tourists.

DVD Review: lords of dogtown and my late discovery of it.
Summary: 5 Stars

so here i was thinking i had seen every possible movie..or decent or cool movie anyways. when my friend comes home from the navy and we sparked a dark knight conversation. in which i go on to say what an awesome job Ledger had done in it. so he then goes on to tell me "yea, but i really liked his role in Lords Of Dogtown" now i had heard of the whole dogtown skateboarding , surfing trailblazing crew before. but somehow this movie and who all was in it passed me by when it came out. i dont know where i was at the time when i should have been watching and hearing about it. but i had missed it. so he tells me its a definate good flick and a definate good staple DVD to own. So boom im on my favorite website to buy any cd's dvd's and other things...Amazon.com where i was very happy to find it from a decent seller at a decent price. i watched it. loved it. kicked myself in the head for missing it in its glory of first coming out , and went on to buy the soundtrack too..

P.S.... it's awesome trust me.

DVD Review: Great true-life story of the origins of Skating
Summary: 4 Stars

It was very interesting to see a movie based on the origins of skateboarding. The story was a little choppy in the beginning. It basically went from the boys being poseur surfers, to them skateboarding competatively all of a sudden. Despite that incomplete transition, I still found the movie to be highly enjoyable and entertaining.

Emile Hirsch, as he tends to do in his movies, completely stole the show, along with Heath Ledger, who also did a fantastic job.

I give this film 4 stars out of 5. I've already recommended it to several people, and I will continue to via amazon, as it's really a movie worth seeing.

Description 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
