EXTREME SKATEBOARDING ACTION! THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD AND THE BOARD MEETS THE RAIL IN THIS HIGH-ENERGY COMEDY ABOUT FOUR PALS FROM CHICAGO WHO PUT EVERYDAY LIFE ON HOLD AND SET OUT ON A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP TO BECOME PROFESSIONAL SKATEBOARDER.A hilarious road trip comedy. Four skaters follow the summer tour of a skateboard star, pulling tricks and tearing it up in their wild attemp! ts to get noticed and grab a sponsor.This wild comedy is an intoxicating mix of mountain-high hilarity and radical winter sports action! For snowboarders Rick (Jason London -- DAZED AND CONFUSED), Luke (Zach Galifianakis -- BUBBLE BOY), and their buddies, life at the Bull Mountain ski area is about partying hard, looking for girls, and doing anything for a good time! But when the town's founder dies, his son decides to sell the mountain to a sleazy developer (Lee Majors -- TV's SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN) who's intent on turning Bull Mountain into a slick yuppie ski resort! Featuring outrageous stunts by real-life snowboarding champions like Todd Richards, Rio Tahara, Tara Dakides, Devun Walsh, and Rob "Sluggo" Boyce -- and a red-hot soundtrack -- it's an avalanche of laughs as the guys do whatever it takes to save their mountain.
Out Cold, which looks like it would be nothing more than a spectacular series of snowboarding stunts, is actually a homage to
Casablanca! set on a rustic Alaskan ski slope called Bull Mountain. Rick ! (Jason L ondon from
Dazed and Confused), who hopes to run Bull Mountain, can't forget about Anna, the French girl he romanced while vacationing in Mexico. When a ruthless developer (Lee Majors, star of
The Six Million Dollar Man) wants to turn the rough-and-tumble site into a sleek, tourist-friendly resort named Snownook, Rick discovers that Anna is the developer's daughter. Will he be seduced to the dark side by love and ambition? Alongside scenes "borrowed" from
Casablanca, there's an abundance of high jinks with Rick's slacker snow buddies, cute girls (including
Playmate of the Year Victoria Silvstedt), and some pretty amazing snowboarding sequences. Dumb but good-natured fun, and Majors clearly enjoys himself as the bad guy.
--Bret Fetzer Recently paroled Eddie (Billy Crudup) shows up on the doorstep of his brother Terry and his wife Janey, irrevocably altering their lives forever. LORDS OF DOGTOWN tells the radical true story behind three teena! ge surfers from Venice Beach, California, who took skateboarding to the extreme and changed the world of sports forever. Stacy Peralta (John Robinson, Elephant), Tony Alva (Victor Rasuk, Raising Victor Vargas) and Jay Adams (Emile Hirsch, The Girl Next Door) are the Z-Boys, a bunch of nobodies until they create a new style of skateboarding that becomes a worldwide phenomenon. But when their hobby becomes a business, the success shreds their friendship. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (thirteen) and written by Stacy Peralta, Lords of Dogtown is "...a dazzling daredevil ride." (Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE)
Lords of Dogtown captures the sheer kinetic joy of skateboarding like no other movie (except, perhaps,
Dogtown and Z Boys, a documentary about the very skateboarders this movie depicts). Set in the mid-1970s in Venice, CA--a.k.a. Dogtown--the movie starts with three young aspiring surfers turned skateboarders: Stacy (John Robinson,
Elephant), Jay (Emile! Hirsch,
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys), and Tony (! Victor R asuk,
Raising Victor Vargas). When alpha-stoner Skip (Heath Ledger,
A Knight's Tale) recognizes the potential of skateboarding as a new sport, his surf shop becomes the center of the boys' universe. They swiftly rise as skateboarding stars and find their brotherhood threatened by sex, money, fame, and ego--it's a common enough story, but director Catherine Hardwicke (
Thirteen) has a gift for capturing the raw messiness of life.
Lords of Dogtown seems to unfold haphazardly, yet every scene moves the increasingly dizzy rise (or fall) of each skater forward with headlong momentum. The excellent cast includes Rebecca De Mornay (
Risky Business), Johnny Knoxville (
Jackass: The Movie), and Nikki Reed (
Thirteen).
Lords of Dogtown, written by skater Stacy Peralta (and based on his own life), both celebrates the excitement of testosterone-fueled recklessness and quietly reflects on the cost of getting what you want.
