Bruce Demara
An exhaustive - no, make that exhausting - look at a team of young skateboarders ...
Betsy Sharkey
Like a high school reunion, filled with affectionate memories of an earlier, more innocent, time.
V.A. Musetto
This film makes a great companion piece to Peralta's "Dogtown and Z-Boys,'' which leaves off where "Bones Brigades'' begins.
Nicolas Rapold
Gradually becomes an echo chamber of personal dramas and exploits, not to mention propulsive soundtrack cues - all within a sport already nursing a penchant for self-documentation.
Nick Schager
The film risks self-importance, but when Peralta admits through tears just how much he loves his skater charges, it imparts what every parent knows ...
Justin Lowe
Peralta's doc is a generous, tasty slice of skateboarding history.

No one is better suited to tell this story than Peralta, a documentarian who's both chronicled skating's evolution and contributed to it.

Amazing Retrospective Great movie and so much that I didn't know about the Bones Brigade. Excellent skateboard history lesson would be to watch Dogtown and the Z-Boyz, then Bones Brigade followed by The Man Who Souled the World. You would have skateboarding history from its invention all the way through the 90s. Buy this video and support Stacey...he deserves it.
Skating in the 80's Skateboarding in the 1980's was a time to remember for sure! The bones brigade were one of the best teams around and created much of the tricks you see today. This is a must watch for anyone from that era or for the younger ones that want to see where skateboarding came from.Enjoy!

The Heart of the Game
Go courtside for a true-life rush like no other in this passionate and inspirational documentary in the same powerful tradition as Hoop Dreams. Director Ward Serrill brings the camera up close and personal to capture the Roosevelt Roughriders girls' basketball team during six turbulent seasons, taking us far beyond the court. You'll meet Bill Resler, the tax professor turned hard- driving unorthodox coach who turns the team around - and Darnellia Russell, the talented inner-city tough girl who battles off-court threats to regain eligibility. You'll meet a real team full of drive, toughness and the unbridled desire to make history.
Chasing Ice
In the spring of 2005, acclaimed National Geographic photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth's changing climate. Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change and a cynic about the nature of academic research. But that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history. Chasing Ice is a feature documentary about one man's mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, Balog conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic, by helicopter, canoe, and dogsled, to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers. Battling untested technology in subzero conditions, Balog finds himself at the end of his tether, risking both his career and his well-being. As the debate polarizes America and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, he comes face to face with his own mortality. It takes years for him to see the fruits of his labor. But his hauntingly beautiful videos compress those years into seconds. His Extreme Ice Survey captures ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Chasing Ice depicts a heroic photojournalist doing everything in his power to deliver hope to our carbon-powered planet.
