This film is NOT for everyone
I will start out by saying that I really do love this movie, but I’m not here to rant and rave about it. This movie is fascinating to me because I do love the skate culture and seeing a movie about characters who started modern skating was, as I said, fascinating. However, I realize that most of the world doesn’t think that. With that in mind, I will continue. This movie is not a documentary about skating!!! If you want a documentary then check out Dogtown and Z-Boys directed by a Z-boy himself. It is full of stories about how the Zephyr team came to be and the way life was in Venice Beach at the time. I personally love the documentary as well, but Lords of Dogtown is not meant to be a Hollywood representation of the documentary. If you are looking for that, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! Lords of Dogtown is meant to be a story about the characters that fills in the gaps the documentary leaves about how these people felt, mainly Jay Adams, Stacy Peralta, and Tony Alva. The camera angles are not straightforward, the cinematography is rough, and its not a cookie cutter film. But that, in my opinion, is why it works so well. A lot of the Z-Boys themselves were on staff for this movie and helped to make it as authentic as it could be while still holding the attention of movie-goers. These guys were very impressed with the way the film was produced and, for the most part, were very pleased with how it represented the time. If you love skate culture then chances are you will fall in love with this movie like I did. Even my parents, who are definitely not into the skate culture or the 70’s, still enjoyed this movie and were interested about the documentary afterwards. This movie definitely made me more interested in what skating was all about and I can’t get enough about these guys now. I highly recommend this movie as well as Dogtown and Z-Boys.

Cement Surfing
Director Catherine Hardwicke, who helped a few teenagers discover the versatility of the tongue in “Thirteen” (2003), takes an impressive cast and crew back to the year 1975. The “Disco” storm was crashing airwaves, but not at Venice Beach, California. There, the pre-punk “Lords of Dogtown” ramped up skateboarding “to the extreme” and made it a sport.

Opening with the familiar phrase, “Inspired by a true story,” this is a fictionalized film version of the superior documentary “Dogtown and Z-Boys” (2001) – which anyone interested in skateboarding as sport should see. Hardwicke’s young “Lords” are Emile Hirsch (as Jay Adams), Victor Rasuk (as Tony Alva), and John Robinson (as Stacy Peralta). They are introduced in an excellent opening sequence, but the story doesn’t get off the ground until about halfway through. We get a lot of documentary-styled scenes – which don’t really do anything to improve upon “Dogtown and Z-Boys” – before getting to know the three leading men. It might be interesting to see Mr. Peralta’s original story idea, because much of this story seems whitewashed.

Crack a board, bro…

The real drama herein arguably centers on Mr. Hirsch’s character. The three actors are fine, but Hirsch is given the best material. As his sexy, sand-blasted mother, Rebecca De Mornay (as Philaine) helps. And, Hirsch gets to sing the “Slinky” theme song. Watch for a truly magical moment when, after losing a contest, Hirsch sails off the pier; photographed beautifully by Elliot Davis, it combines the thrills you experience surfing and skateboarding. Also on hand, in an stumbling and underwritten role, is wasted surfer Heath Ledger (as Skip Engblom). Better utilized is the role played by fellow traveler Michael Angarano (as Sid). He helps give the film an unexpected, uplifting ending by taking the three estranged “Lords” back to their roots.
