Movie Reviews of Suburbia

Movie Review: Good Movie
Summary: 3 Stars

Kind of slow but if you like punk rock movies, this is a pretty good one. Real-life situations and things teens have had to go through in their lives. A little nudity at the beginning so viewer discretion. It's also pretty cool to see Flea early in his career.

Movie Review: dated and irrelevant
Summary: 2 Stars

SUBURBIA has a few good moments, but it mainly functions on stereotypes and situations that would never happen in the real world. The scenes and dialogue remind me of what a high school student might write in a creative writing class. It is somewhat interesting as a footnote to history for display of the fashion and sound of the LA punk scene of the time. However, for many people that isn't a very interesting subject. More depth on motivations and causes could have made it a great movie.

Movie Review: Okay for what it is... but it could have been much more
Summary: 2 Stars

Suburbia is based on a real group of Los Angeles punk rockers who lived together in 1980 and 1981, called The Connected (TC); however, only the most superficial aspects of their life are touched upon in this movie. The characters are not portrayed with any kind of depth, and the overall feel of the film is one of exploitation.
That said, punks don't have a lot of movies that speak to their experiences, so I suppose this one will have to suffice.

Movie Review: a shoddy recording...
Summary: 1 Stars

If you are a true punk rock enthusiast and sound
quality is unimportant to you, buy this CD.
Otherwise, don't expect a good recording.
They literally took the LP, scratches and all,
and burned it to a disc. They should have taken
the time to remaster this disc properly. The audio
recording is too quiet, and sounds very distorted.
Although many recordings of punk music maintain
their authenticity by not embellishing the
original recording, this cheap CD rendering sucks.
Highlights include "Punk Parade", "Richard Hung
Himself", and "The Legend of Pat Brown."
