Lords of Dogtown

Directed by Catherine Hardwicke ("Thirteen"), this memorable biopic written by Stacy Peralta examines how he and friends Tony Alva and Jay Adams helped bring skateboarding culture to the mainstream. Rising from their rough Santa Monica neighborhood, the "Z-Boys'" high-flying antics quickly garnered the teens national attention. But as they deal with their growing fame, they find that staying grounded is the greatest trick of all. John Robinson, Emile Hirsch, Rebecca de Mornay, Victor Rasuk, and Heath Ledger star. 110 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
