I caught some movies this week that I have never seen and I would like to share with you my thoughts on them.
Dogtown and Z-Boys : Brilliant to say the least or better yet – Radical. This movie brought so many memories back and touched me on some deep levels. I skated the same streets and surfed the same waves as those guys and grew up hearing stories from others and my dad.One of my first boards was an Alva, a friend of my dads gave me cause his son never rode it anymore.These guys really birthed a whole new culture and lifestyle and all they wanted to do is surf and skate – To feel the freedom it gives you. Nothing like it in the world. This movie has also inspired me now – at the ripe old age of 30 ( I haven’t picked up a board in 15 yrs ) to start skating again. I highly recommend this to anyone that is interested in history – real history.
Sin City : Sucked. Mickey Rourke with the only bright star in this dark mass of shit – well that and all the super hot chicks. I am officially in love with Rosario Dawson.
War of the worlds: I have to admit that even though I cant stand Spielberg or Cruise, this was pretty decent. I believe this is Toms best performance since Born on the 4th of July. The CGI was realistic and tasteful and even though it seemed a bit rushed I think they pulled it off.
oh…BTW – MR.Wizard kicks ass!
