Movie Reviews of Hard Core Logo
Movie Review: The Best of Candian Film!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was at the Sudbury Film Festival (Cinefest) in 1996 when this film was premiered and the crowd went nuts! As Bruce McDonald introduced his film everyone in the packed theatre knew they were in for a treat.The film is not high budget, but it makes up for it in the intense character development. Hugh Dillon, frontman for the Canadian Punk Band The Headstones does a great job as Joe Dick, the lead singer for Hard Core Logo, who convinces the band to go on one last tour after reuniting to support punk legend Bucky Height after an unfortunate accident.
The music is real, underground punk music the way The Headstones play it every time they hit the stage. The music and the characters are so real that you will forget by the end that you are watching a mock-umentary. This movie is probably one of the best movies based around the music scene and is perfect for fans of real cinema and real music!
I still have the shirt, poster and promo pins that Bruce McDonald (director) gave me after the movie when I met him and thanked him for such a great film. Check it out... it's a movie that will stay with you for a long time!
Movie Review: Hard Core Logo
Summary: 5 Stars
Hard Core Logo"Hard Core Logo" is the best rock band mockumentary since "This is Spinal Tap". It is a consistantly intriguing look at the comeback of a hard core punk band trying to make it big long after its heyday. The presence of Callum Keith Rennie, the Canadian actor who comes to us via England, serves to elevate the material and the acting. His style is natural and seamless. His calm belies a past history of violent behavior that he admits once ruled his on stage hard core life. There is a brilliantly subtle subtext, which I will not reveal. It causes a shock at the end that I will not spoil, but it will knock your socks off. Beware, there is a lot of loud punk rock music. I recommend it to movie fans, independent movie fans, as well as punk music fans. The acting will surprise you. Callum Keith Rennie studied for weeks in a crash course to make his guitar playing believable. Everything about this mockumentary is believable, which is the highest praise.Movie Review: not exactly punk..but it'll do
Summary: 5 Stars
This is truly one sick messed up movie..and it was GREAT!!!..The story is about a fictional Candadian "punk" band reuniting for a short tour across Canada..telling lies to the public that a punk legend had his leg's shot off to fuel their concert attendance. If any character in the movie carries a punk attitude it's Joe Dick , a snotty jerk with a bad mohawk . The rest of the band is Billy Tallent who unbeknowest to the rest of the band is planning on playing with another band Jennifer rather than continuing with the tour, a 80's metal head who belongs better in Motely Crue , and a psychotic bass player who slowly looses his mind through the course of the film. The film is an unpleasant sick look at the self destruction of a band , and the grim dirty side of rock n' roll. Made as a mockumentary it captures ugly clubs , alcohol and drug abuse , and nihilism. This film can be funny , sick , shocking , disturbing , and bleak. The ending will leave you speechless..see itPunk purest don't get too upset...just enjoy!
Movie Review: Hardcore Callum
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my new favorite movie.I'm a huge Callum Keith Rennie fan ever since I saw him in Harpers Island a few months ago.Since then I have been watching anything he's ever been in.He's gorgeous and talented.I think he has gotten even sexier with age.Hard Core Logo is in my opinion his best movie.Callum shines as Billy Talent.I grew up listening to punk music(Ramones 4ever) so with that being the concept of the movie it made it even more enjoyable.Speaking of Ramones,Joey Ramone has a cameo in the film.I've read some poor reviews about the movie and I think that if you take the movie seriously it will rub you the wrong way.Mockumentry-it speaks for itself.It's a film that is mocking.Not everyone shares the same type of humor,so it's really all just apples and oranges depending on the eye of the beholder.One thing for sure is an opinion will always be an opinion and nothing more.Movie Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey, if you want to watch something like Spinal Tap see, Mighty Wind, Best in Show, or Waiting for Guffman. This a much more dramatic mockumentary. I'm amazed I hadn't heard of this powerful movie before now, considering it's around 10 years already. While not a straight comedy I haven't laughed this hard in a while. The acid freak-out scene was almost too silly but the reactions once they sobered up were priceless, hysterical and believable. The sadness that runs through this film is chilling but probably familiar to anyone who has ever known someone involved with the real business of music. Having chased these dreams myself in a similar fashion I always feel somewhat lucky to have given up on the dream and this picture seems to confirm the notion that no matter how long or satisfying your 15 minutes was, there is a price. In Rock and Roll terms,"The Devil Will Collect".
