Deck Dogz - Getting Movies Just Got a Whole Lot Easier
Summary of Deck Dogz:
Three young skaters, the "DECK DOGZ", dream of escaping their suburban existence and making it in the world of pro-skating. Their best shot is to skate off for TONY HAWK, the legendary US twelve time World Champion, who's scouting for young talent to sponsor. Problem is, he's holding the competition at a beach bowl which is miles from home and there is no way their parents or teachers will let them travel. Journey with the "Dogz" as they do whatever it takes to make their dreams a reality.
I think Bob Baines and Tony Hawk worked wonderful in Deck Dogz. The great supporting cast includes Bob Baines, Tony Hawk, Mitchell McMahon, Alyssa McClelland, Brendan Cowell.
When a troubled young woman strikes a bicycle delivery boy named Mao with a brick, this violent chance encounter sets in motion Mao's discovery of a long-lost childhood friend and their lost innocence. Mao discovers the young woman's diary, which describes how all the crucial moments of her life have been bound up in movies: She was born at a movie screening, became best friends with a boy at another, and experiences a terrible trauma at another--all of which has led her to a strange secret life that Mao realizes he can set right. Electric Shadows depends upon an improbable coincidence, yet the compelling story lures you to accept it. Movies about a cinema-crazed childhood are prone to be a little sappy, but Electric Shadows presents a multilayered vision of the pain, delight, and chaotic confusion of childhood; the combination achieves a rare and compelling balance, building to a sweet conclusion that's been richly earned. Though it's been compared to the sentimental favorite Cinema Paradiso, Electric Shadows--the debut feature of director Xiao Jiang--has more in common with the honesty and directness of another debut feature, Francois Truffaut's The 400 Blows. --Bret Fetzer
