David Walsh World Socialist Web Site The film is far from perfect. ... But at its best Levelland provides glimpses of contemporary American life, specifically American suburban life. Feb 15, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The cover of the box is a little misleading, there is very minimal amount of skateboarding in this film. Over all this was a decent movie. The acting could of been a little better, but still a decent film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Good skating, great music, and passable acting aren't enough to lift a poor script. The setting and characters are likable enough, but the attempts at conflict and drama feel forced. The dialogue is overcooked. Some interesting shots. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I purchased this movie hoping I was in for a treat. I only paid 2.99 for it, so what could I seriously be getting? You can tell that the director is a first time director , either that or doesn't work well with actors. Now I know that this is an indie film , and that everyhting is going to be kinda slow. But this film really didn't have a plot. It tried really heard to be a dramatic story , but flopped. I will just put this on the shelf and probably never watch it again. There are some good skateboarding shots , and the tricks are even kinda slow , but they are there. If you haven't seen it , you aren't missing anything. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member [size=4]rocky horror picture show[/size] [font=Arial Narrow][size=3]i hated this movie ,i guess i heard it was so great and i was just kind of disappointed by it ,not to be offensive this has to be one of the gayest movies i have ever seen next too the pee wee movies ,sure i know abou the trans and everything but man this was over the top but even that didnt bug me that much what really made me dislike this movie was it was based on a novelty and it starts too wear thin after about a half a hour and i found myself bored as hell but i did give it a couple of points for style but it's still lacking [/size][/font] [font=Arial Narrow][size=3]:rotten: overrated piece of crap :rotten: 4*[/size][/font] [font=Arial Narrow][size=3].................................................................[/size][/font] [font=Arial Narrow][size=3]levelland[/size][/font] [font=Arial Narrow][size=3]shot with what looks like a handycam you can tell right away that levelland is low buget ,the story isnt really there and the movie just drags along ,the skate parts cant even pick up the slack and overall it's just a long boring movie wothout any real plot with a couple of skate scenes [/size][/font] [font=Arial Narrow][size=3]:rotten: even if you like skateboarding dont waste your time:rotten: [/size][/font] .............................................. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member [color=darkorchid]Alright, so another day, another 5 movies. Amanda, one thing you need to understand about my ratings is that I rate so many movies at once, that some of the films might not get the rating that they deserve. Be it a good or bad rating. For example, if I had rated Finding Neverland by itself, it probably would have gotten a 7 or better. So just please keep that in mind. Now, moving on to the good stuff.[/color] [color=#9932cc][/color] [color=#9932cc][/color] [color=darkorange][b][u]DEEP IN THE GAME-[/u][/b] Is crap. I give it a 1 and not a 0 just for the simple fact that it is a movie, and I don't know how it could be rated a 0. But it sucked ASS. Pardon my Spanish there. Anyway, it sucked, never watch it unless you want to waste part of your life. It's about some thugs who someone they know is killed and so they kill them or some crap like that. But it is independent and it sucks ASS.[/color] [color=#ff8c00][/color] [color=#ff8c00][/color] [color=seagreen][b][u]TROIS-[/u][/b] Another movie that sucks ASS. It deserves at least a 2 or maybe even a 3 next to Deep in the Game. Because it has much better acting. Much better picture, and people you actually know. But I gave it a 1 because it sucks and I didn't like it one bit. Moving on now.[/color] [color=#2e8b57][/color] [color=#2e8b57][/color] [color=deepskyblue][b][u]THE AVIATOR-[/u][/b] I had to pick the color "deep sky blue" to write this one. Get it? The Aviator, "deep SKY blue"? Put it together. Anyway, enough sissy crap. I gave this one a 10. I wonder if I would have rated it different if I had not seen it in the theatre? I may have given it an 8 or a 9. Anyway, this is a spectacular performance by Leonardo DeCaprio especially, and also by Kate Blanchette. They did wonderful. I like how interesting the film was. It really had many aspects to it. It was plenty long too. I always like a movie like that, you know, your like "this thing isn't over yet, awesome". Those are always nice. It had many different things in it, like drama, humor, laughter, (same thing huh). Fear, and many other feelings and emotions, (again with the same thing). Anyway, this one gets a 10. Especially compared to the other ones on this list.[/color] [color=#00bfff][/color] [color=#00bfff][/color] [color=green][b][u]SHE HATE ME-[/u][/b] This one gets a nasty baby diarea green color. This one sucks too. But not as bad as the first 2. This one seemed like it was 2 different movies. I almost want you to watch it so you see what I mean about that. It had like 2 different plots, 2 different casts even almost. Anyway, it gets a 3 for being somewhat intersting, but stupid at the same time.[/color] [color=#008000][/color] [color=#008000][/color] [color=wheat][b][u]LEVELLAND-[/u][/b] This one gets a nice neutral color. Now, this one from what I could tell is also an independent film. But with very good acting and a very good story plot. It's about these skaters who are in High School. It starts towards the end of the High School year, into summer and then back into the beginning of a new High School year. I recommend watching this movie. It is pretty good. That is why I give it a 6. [/color] [color=#f5deb3][/color] [color=#f5deb3][/color] [color=yellow]Alright, that is it for today. It's just about time for me to go home. I will rate some more movies tomorrow hopefully. See you all later.[/color] [color=#ffff00][/color] [color=#ffff00]Dacaso[/color] Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
