Rep Power: 0    |  Documentary:Anvil! The Story Of Anvil This is one of the best Rock N' Roll documentaries of all time. Pastor gives it his highest recommendation.  I happened upon this film by chance, I was never really a fan of Anvil at all. I don't think you even need to be a fan of rock music to be taken in by their story. After watching it I could not help but root for them.  It's kinda like watching "This Is Spinal Tap". Except it's a real band this time, so some of the things that are funny for a fake band are not as funny to a real band. There is a full range of emotions in the film, they visit Stonehenge and there is a volume dial that goes to eleven. Also the drummer medicates througout the film, although it isn't really discussed that much. I am curious to what others' opinions are, please post if you have seen it!

Rep Power: 28914   | Re: Documentary:Anvil! The Story Of Anvil I laughed, I cried. No, seriously I cried during this film. Call me nostalgic but watching these 50 year old plus band members hyping each other up to play for 4 people in prague or some dive bar in belgium is reality tv at its finest. I haven't watched as good an expose on the human struggle to find happiness since that movie, happiness. Oh, maybe 20 years plus of random show playing for 4 people tops at your red onion in pomona on sunday at 2:15 Am had something to do with it. Last edited by shecky7; 05-28-2009 at 03:20 PM.. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Documentary:Anvil! The Story Of Anvil I enjoyed the documentary, but one thing stuck out -- was it just me or did it seem a bit staged? The guitarist marrying the Italian promoter/manager? What??? Perhaps this is a case of truth being stranger than fiction. |
