Product Description

 
Anyone who grew up in Southern California will talk with both nostalgia and frustration about the periodic summers of drought in which the oppressive heat is exacerbated by a shortage of its antidote--fresh water. In 1975, a clan of scruffy, rebellious teens found a way to turn this dearth to their advantage, using the sloping bowl of empty suburban swimming pools to create a new underground sport--skateboarding. The development, explosion, and corporate co-opting of this now ubiquitous sport was the subject of Stacy Peralta's acclaimed 2002 documentary, DOGTOWN AND Z-BOYS. Peralta, one of the original skaters who came to be known as the "Z-Boys," has penned this dramatized account of his own story, a kinetic and gripping tale with dramatic turns reflective of the extreme crests and falls of those concrete waves.

When a shipment of polyurethane wheels arrives at Venice Beach's Zephyr surf shop, the proprietor, Skip (Heath Ledger), puts together a team of roughly a dozen local layabouts to try...

Lords (and Sid) of Dogtown

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: Lords of Dogtown is an overall average movie. It isn't bad, but it's not the greatest.
Review: I wouldn't consider myself a fan of bikers and skateboarders. I don't mind bikers as much since I rode dirt BMX for a few years in Middle School, but most skateboarders annoy me like none other. When I worked at McDonalds (yes I was another High...

Real Life Drama

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2005
The Bottom Line: Watch the Lords of Dogtown for the REAL LIFE drama, experienced and written by one of the main characters.
Review: While I couldn't fully appreciate the basic topic of the Lords of Dogtown, skateboarding, I could appreciate the movie's characters and highly effective dramatization. I could definitely appreciate the story, which is a bit haunting, but completely...

Lords of Dogtown - Fictionalized Look at the Skateboarding Explosion

Date of Review:  Mar 11, 2009
The Bottom Line:

A film that has its faults, but overall I found it to be very enjoyable. Great special features on the disc.

Review: I grew up in the suburbs of New York City at the top of a hill that was very good for a variety of activities, from sledding to skateboarding. We weren t fortunate to have skate parks or empty pools to play in, but had to make do with what we had...

Professional Reviews
  (06/03/2005, p.E10, Kevin Thomas): "The rowdy and sometimes painfully raw LORDS OF DOGTOWN is a perfect marriage between film and skateboarder, and the way in which the camera tracks every incredible move of the movie's virtuosos gives it a dynamic, exhilarating energy."
