LORDS OF DOGTOWN NOW AVAILABLE

LORDS OF DOGTOWN NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE LORDS OF DOGTOWN FROM IMDB.

A fictionalized take on the group of brilliant young skateboarders raised in the mean streets of Dogtown in Santa Monica, California. The Z-Boys, as they come to be known, perfect their craft in the empty swimming pools of unsuspecting suburban homeowners, pioneering a thrilling new sport and eventually moving into legend.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE LORDS OF DOGTOWN FROM DVDTALK.

The movie

The trouble with remakes is that the compulsion to compare them to the original is so strong. In the case of a remake that tackles a relatively recent film, it's even more difficult to avoid the comparison. Lords of Dogtown is such a film: though there's no previous feature film on the topic, it's very much a remake of the 2001 documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys. Chronicling the rise (and sometimes fall) of a group of young toughs in Venice, California who set the skateboarding world on fire with their talent as part of the Zephyr team, Lords of Dogtown follows the trajectory of Dogtown and Z-Boys pretty much to the letter. As to whether you like the results or not, it's down to whether you like seeing this slice of skateboarding history straight-up or acted out.

I'll be up-front and say that while I found Lords of Dogtown to be reasonably entertaining, I don't think it offers anything that Dogtown and Z-Boys doesn't also offer more effectively. Keep in mind that I liked Dogtown and Z-Boys quite a bit, of course; the documentary wasn't perfect, but it was quite compelling and had a very distinctive style, so that it's a lot more memorable than, I think, Lords of Downtown will be.
