I Liked This Better When It Came Out Six Years Ago And Was Called "Dogtown and Z-Boys"!
Basically a big screen/big budget remake of 2001's popular and
award-winning documentary "Dogtown and Z-boys", 2005's over-hyped and
amateurish box-office stinker "Lords of Dogtown" offers little to
anyone in my opinion besides the directors' die-hard fans from her
directorial debut in early 2003 entitled "Thirteen", which played like
an unnecessary and unwanted sequel to 1995's sleazy kiddie drug-and-sex
fest "KIDS", and or perhaps the big-time skateboarding enthusiasts and
riders out there who live for anything and everything that involves the
popular counter-culture sport. Stacey Peralta should in all honesty be
ashamed with himself as he was the one that co-scripted this mess in
the first place...after two other directors dropped out that is *rolls
eyes*! And for anyone who doesn't know this bit of trivia, apparently
former rap rocker and all around low-life degenerate Fred Durst was one
of those two directors with the other being a supposed friend of his,
"Fight Club" director David Fincher! Overall, it's blatantly apparent
to me that this movie was little more than a means for Peralta to make
a few quick bucks off of his somewhat extraordinary life story and the
stories of his fellow Z-Boys since the success and interest of "Dogtown
and Z-Boys" has died down more than five years after it was made!
Peralta was of course a Z-Boy himself and one of the few without drug
and alcohol problems and a criminal record a mile long *cough* Jay
Adams *cough*. Thankfully this flick went down in flames a la tanked in
box office terms shortly after being released in theaters about this
time last year, and has hence been virtually forgotten by all spare a
small group of people many of whom have already written numerous
glowing reviews over this crap film before mine! (Turkey-Zero Stars)
