Movie Reviews of Another State of Mind
Movie Review: I love these guys ...
Summary: 4 Stars
"Another State of Mind" chronicals the trials and tribulations of three unknown punk bands making their way across North America in the summer of 1982. You can tell the tour is doomed before they ever leave Orange County, but that doesn't take away any of the fun of watching it all unravel. The VHS was worth renting just for the scene of Mike Ness giving himself "a more sympathetic look", but his 20th anniversary commentary makes the DVD version even more of a blast. Rather than be dissappointed by how little he remembers, you'll laugh along with him as he struggles to remember anything at all.
Hilarity aside (and there's lots of it) "Another State of Mind" also gives some pretty heavy insight into the familial dysfunctions and socio-economic realities that fueled punk rock at the start of the 80s. Its as instructive as it is funny. Its even (occasionally) poignant. Highly recommended.
Movie Review: What real punk was!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Another State Of Mind is not just a title song of the movie, or a poplular song by Social Distortion. It was how they ( the young punk bands in the movie) lived their lives. These were kids that did not really fit into any socail structure. In the movie it is shown in many ways, be it the music, the way they dress or the way they talk. This is a movie that anyone that is into punk music should watch. It shows that punk is not something you can find at a local mall in a Hot Topic store. Punk was a way of living, and going across the country in a couped up bus is what real punk was. This is a great movie for fans of any type of music, and genre. It shows the struggle that bands that started a movement in the US had to go before becoming legends. A must have movie.Movie Review: I don't have a title.

I bought the dvd yesterday when I went on a splurge at Best Buy cause I had so many gift cards... I don't own any albums by Social D, Youth Brigade or Minor threat but this movie is alright. It reminda me a lot of the book Philosopy of Punk which I also recently read. The DVD offeres a lot of insight to the whole "scene" but personally it wasn't informative at all seeing as I already knew about it. At any rate, if you're into the three bands I'd pick up this movie just cause it has great tour footage and such also, it shows how the members of the bands really are behind the microphone and personally I always wondered who the asses of the underground are.Movie Review: roots

If you're into the punk and DIY culture of the 80's, check this out. Although itt might be a little embarassing to some people, there's a lot of meat to this movie, it captures the spirit of the era. Highlights include, Mike Ness before he was a jock, Keith Morris pre dreadlocks, Ian MacKaye serving ice cream, the "how to slam dance" section, and who could ever forget Valerie, every teenage punk rocker's dream girl. I wonder what ever happened to that bus...Movie Review: PUNKS IN NEED
Summary: 3 Stars
This one-hour documental portraits the life on tour across America of a Social Distorion in its very beginings, and the radical boys of Social Youth. The main event of the DVD is to see a very young Mike Ness without a single tatto!!! and the writing, along the tour, of one of his emblematic songs: Another State of Mind. Necessary to those interested in subterreanean american punk history.
