• "360 slip to crooked grind down a handrail, you are living in a fantasy world" - that sounds so wack (not the trick, the script). I bet it turns out to be the skate equivalent of 'the fast and the furious'

  Paranoid Park was pretty good tho

• i hope to be proven wrong, but this will probably be a big steaming pile of gash pie.

• Sorry Jay but that trailer looks like shit. Such clichéd trash.

  adhesif - I agree Paranoid Park is the closest thing to a great skate movie that I've ever seen.

• I think the problem is when the film takes skateboarding as it's primary focus rather than having it as a small element that adds a little flavour, e.g Paranoid Park.

  King of controversy Larry Clark's film 'Wassup Rockers' makes for a nice little watch, though suffers from some bad acting and a very bizarre moment at a party in a mansion.

  Probably an unpopular choice but Lords of Dogtown ain't too bad either.

  It all depends how fussy you are I guess!

• Alexander, yeah, I think you are right.

  Any attempt to fictionalise any activity like skateboarding and 'understand' it usually just comes across as cheesy and super-fake.

  It's usually the product of corporate group think and resembles sewage..

• The bit where the heelflipping hoodlums are scheming to 'cut the knobs off the university hand rail' has come straight from Danny Ocean's yarn round at Tishcoff's villa about the exact manor in which to acquire the dollar from the Bellagio. As for the rest, my oh my...

• Check out the plot summary on IMDB...

  There is no way in hell this movie will be good. In fact, there is no way in hell this is going to get a release.

• The IMDB summary sounds like a cross between "the Wizard" (90 minute sales tool for Nintendo) and the Karate Kid (no explanation required).

  Also, Gleaming the cube, while rubbish, sustained my skate fix when I was a child and access to skate videos was difficult. First exposure to Rodney's wizadry too.

• If somebody ever makes an updated version of The Wizard crossed with Karate Kid, I think I might die of happiness.

• The Wizard crossed with Karate Kid sounds AWESOME.

  This movie does not.

• What the hell is with J-Wizz? With the extreme spelling deficiency and aggressive homophobia, he (I presume it's a he) is the sort of knucklehead who would enjoy such tripe as Street Dreams. Idiot!
