Much like his controversial debut film, Kids, director Larry Clark's Wassup Rockers features young people from the street in the film's starring roles, portraying a group of young Hispanics who go by ...( read more  read more... )nicknames such as Spermball, Porky and Kiko. While the rest of their peers conform to the pervasive hip-hop culture, these teens prefer skateboards, tight clothing and punk-rock music -- and the rich girls they meet in Beverly Hills.

    For all this movie's faults, there is some thing about the realism that made it appealing. Imagine "The Warriors" in Los Angeles, but instead of imaginary gangs with matching uniforms, think: cops, rich white boys and black rappers with guns.

    by director of KIDS, Wassup Rockers follows a group of skater friends living in the Ghetto of South Central Los Angeles. Running from rich folks, cops, and black kids this movie will give you a new appreciation of your neighborhood.

    It's more of a documentary-esque kind of movie...and if you're into those then skip it.
