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 very first coming out , and went on to buy the soundtrack too..
P.S.... it's awesome trust me.

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.

Ok the documentary Dogtown and the Z Boys is more historic and correct, but I enjoy watching this much more. I started skate boarding in 1965 at Collage on a flat wooden board with steel wheels. Jan & Dean's song "Sidewalk Surfing" had spread it nation wide that spring. It was fun but nothing sensational, there was no skateboard culture. This movie,and yes the documentary tells the story of how a group of teenagers changed everything. Haggling about details changes nothing, this was a radical transformation by a small group of teenagers. Eat your hearts out Hippies.
I watch this movie every year before the X Games to remind myself how they really started.

Okay, this movie is supposed to be about three teen boys. However, I didn't know this when I tried to watch it with my grandson, and they looked to me like twenty-somethings who had never grown up. I guess they did to my grandson as well because, although he talks frequently about skatboarding when he gets a little older, he lost interest in the movie barely a third of the way through it. I felt the same about it - it was intensely boring to me to watch what looked like a bunch of immature guys doing their thing. Maybe if one is really into skateboarding this movie might be of interest. For me, and for my grandson, it wasn't worth the time spent watching it.
