Movie Reviews of The Future Is Unwritten

Movie Review: great doc about a great artist
Summary: 4 Stars

So, I was trying to get my hands on this movie for a little while. I tried to download it, then it seemed to only be available from Europe, but, I finally got a hold of it from Amazon.
It's really a great documentary. It's well put-together and will give you a lot of good insight on the life and legacy of Joe Strummer: whether you know him from the 101ers, The Clash, The Mescaleros, etc.

Movie Review: Joe was flawed but awesome.
Summary: 4 Stars

Great to see a lot of pre- & post-Clash Joe in this doc. His band got too big for it's own good/ethos & he was torn up by that. Seeing him wade back into music near the end was really cool to watch. Like Neil Diamond sang, "done too soon." RIP Joe.

Movie Review: punk rock hippie
Summary: 4 Stars

A must for any Clash fan, or anyone interested in the history of British punk.
A little maudlin at times, and a bit sedate as well, but overall a worthy addition to your punk/ rock library.

Movie Review: sad, final years of a legend
Summary: 3 Stars

It's still hard to believe that Joe is gone. There will be no long hoped for Clash reunion, just a nice bunch of memories and some of the greatest songs ever committed to vinyl. As for the doc - it was a sober reminder for both the fan - and Joe - of how far the fall can be. Joe was starting from scratch with a scrappy young band, an indie label with no money and his past always hanging over his head. You can see a bit of weariness in his eyes and hear it in his voice - but on stage, though less animated, he was still in control. And while his later work wasn't anywhere near the quality of his Clash work, it was still vibrant and relevant. How many 40+ year old rockers can say that? Overall though - a little depressing...
