Even when theyre not that great, they at least have some moments of interest.
Pavement Slow Century
This is a great collection.
The DVD also includes a host of great extras including footage from three gigs.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols Dig!
Ondi Timoners 1994 documentary follows The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols over seven years.
Newcombe, reportedly dislikes his portrayal in this documentary and feels that the bias is on the Warhols.
Whether a bias exists is open to interpretation.
The fact remains that this is an excellent watch.
That night the Oakland chapter of the Hells Angels had their way.
Tonight… its my turn!
Sorry, couldnt resist putting this quote fromThe Cable Guyin here.
The Hells Angels are seen using pool cues as a form of crowd control.
Its an incredibly well made and effective documentary, but its far from an easy watch.
The concert footage is masterfully shot and I enjoyed this immensely despite being unfamiliar with The Band.
What the filmmakers were faced with was a band in turmoil.
Unable to connect personally or creatively, the band enters group therapy to resolve their numerous issues.
The Devil And Daniel Johnston
This is one that Id recommend to anyone, not just fans of Johnstons.
Jeff Feuerzeigs 2006 documentary charts the career of the talented singer songwriter and artist who suffers from manic depression.
The film doesnt feature any footage of Johnston talking to the camera.
Anvil: The Story Of Anvil
This is quite simply an incredible documentary.
Anvil were founded by Steve Lips Kudlow and Robb Reiner (not that one!)
in the 80s and influenced a number of bands that have achieved high levels of success over the years.
Given the subject matter and the nature of the relationships between band members, a comparison toSpinal Tapis inevitable.
Purely comparing it to the aforementioned movie would be selling this wonderful documentary short.
The level of love filmmaker Sacha Gervasi has for the band is clear throughout.
The scene is of drummer Steve Drozd preparing a dose of heroin whilst discussing his addiction.
A confrontation between the two leads to Drozd checking in to rehab to beat his habit.
I really cant recommend this enough.
