 | | 33. Anvil-Story of Anvil | | | Director: Sacha Gervasi | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/6/2009 |  | Anvil! The Story of Anvil - DVD Review By: Paul Brenner - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 9/25/2009 8:08 PM | |
Forget This is Spinal Tap. Here's the real deal... even though one the name of one of the performers is Robb Reiner. Sacha Gervasi's ebullient documentary about two cantankerous bruisers now in their mid-50s, who founded the unjustly obscure Canadian heavy metal band Anvil, is a paean to artistic hope in the midst of almost complete and abject failure. Founded by guitarist and lead singer Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner in 1978, the band's in-your-face heavy metal bludgeoning (Lips had a penchant for performing in a bondage harness, waving an impressive dildo at the audience and using a woman's vibrator as a guitar slide), and its seminal Metal on Metal album in 1982, set the standard for metalhead rock to come. read the full review | |

 | | 43. Naked Brothers Band | | | Starring: Alex Wolff Joshua Kaye | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/6/2008 | | The Naked Brothers Band Movie - DVD By: Ann Hagman Cardinal - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 4/2/2007 2:44 PM | | Spinal Tap goes to grammar school. New to DVD this week is Nickelodeon’s The Naked Brothers Band Movie, a mini-mock-rockumentary directed by Polly Draper. Nickelodeon is on all the time in my house and I enjoy some of the shows as much as my ten-year-old son Carlos, but as I had only had cursory glances at the newest offering, The Naked Brothers Band show, I really wasn’t convinced that the movie could reach beyond its tween demographic. read the full review | |

 | | 45. Shine a Light | | | Starring: Charlie Watts Ron Wood Director: Martin Scorsese | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/29/2008 | | Shine a Light - DVD Review By: Jason Morgan - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/18/2008 5:45 PM | |
Gimme Shelter this is not. The disillusions and stabbings of the 1969 concert have been replaced by the Clinton Foundation's benefit for the Natural Resource Defense Council and snapping camera phones. But Shine a Light is helmed by Martin Scorsese -- the man behind Goodfellas and Raging Bull -- shouldn't it push the boundaries set by Charlotte Zwerin and the Maysles brothers nearly 40 years ago? It should, but Scorsese has always had a cinematic hard-on for the Rolling Stones, and the result is a personal, biased love letter to the Stones signed with love by Marty. When the Stones take the stage at New York City's Beacon Theater, it's frightening -- their age truly shows on film. read the full review | |
