DARE-AOKE ROUND 2
Prey For Rock N' Roll - dir. Alex Steyermark - 2003 - USA
I simply wasn’t prepared for how bad this movie would be. The horrible music is the first of many problems here. The fact that it’s done by the cast is another one. The fact that the cast appear to be exercising the idea that all actors want to be rock stars, cause they all suck. Being proficient and being good are two entirely different beasts, and they hd me praying for a better film. That isn’t a pun, by the way, cause I didn’t use the "prey" that’s in the title. I don’t know what it is when you use the same word but a different spelling, I’m sure there’s a name for it. What was I talking about? OH! The piece of awful. Joe told me to expect Lori Petty in my next film to which I replied that I’d seen a LOT of Lori Petty films. I had not seen this one. Every time the camera looks at her I laugh. It’s like a gag reflex, but for my amusement. She’s, what, 4'6" on a good day, holding a 3' long bass guitar. The funny writes itself...also, it’s LORI PETTY. Her talent singing and playing proves that she’s certainly NOT Tom Petty’s dykey sister, and I’m not a big Tom Petty fan. I’d rather hear cats being raped than listen to most of Tom Petty’s discography, as the results might (might) be more pleasant to my ears. There are other people besides Ms. Lori Petty involved, too! I think Drea De Mateo had me when she vomited cum, which she had just swallowed in order to get high, though she’s leaps and bounds not as dislikeable as the rest of the cast, and he character is a drug addict! There’s some girl on the drums, but who cares about her when you’ve got Gina Gershon! She simply hasn’t been worse, and Gina has had a SHITLOAD of bad performances. Gina learned to play guitar for this role. I remember Guy Pierce did as well for A Slipping Down Life. I haven’t seen that movie, nor heard any of the music, but I can already tell you that he learned how to play much better. He’s a better singer, too. The whole movie centers around trying to "make it" in the music industry, but it’s really hard to root for a band as terrible as this to succeed. The big twist comes when a member of the band hilariously dies close to the end, and we get a lovely montage where Gina plays piano and sings to you. I wanted to stab my ears, seriously. I don’t even know if it’s tryly that bad or if the movie made her SOUND worse than she is. I prey next week will give me something slightly better. Ah, fuck.
