It's a cool documentary entitled 'Metal: A Headbanger's Journey' and I'm d'lding it the now...
I tried to get my hubby to rent this for me and the video store had never even heard of it. I think it is supposed to be released this week though, and so maybe they will get it in and I can see it. *hopes*

I don't think it's out yet. I've got in my "queue" at blockbuster.com and it is showing as "coming soon."

BTW, if you have trouble finding stuff at the local video rental place, blockbuster.com or Netflix are great.

Its not out as yet. I utilised illegal downloading methods to get it, thoroughly enjoyed it too. More when I have the time.

It wasnt as in-depth as I was expecting. The guy obviously favoured the whole black/death metal scene but any documentary that begins with 'Maiden and features Geddy as the first interviewee is ok in my book. The various sub genres were displayed in a cool family tree vibe with comments from Geddy, Ronnie James Dio, Bruce Dickinson, Tom Araya, Tony Iommi, Dee Snider, Lemmy and some extreme metal german twats. Nothing that we havent heard before with paticular empathis given to the whole Norwegian metal church burning thing. The LA glam era did make me chuckle but no real mention was made of the whole early 90's grunge thing (of which I'm a big fan) which is a shame.
7.5/10

.

ps: no disrespect meant towards germans in general, just the idiots in the doc.

Hmmm....well...all in all, I think I do want to see it. Thanks Ogg.

Just watched Constantine and what a brilliant movie...at first I was like 'oh another movie about good vs evil' but this is the best I've seen

Haven't been to a movie in a while but within the next week I hope to get to three... Da Vinci Code, Over the Hedge, and X Men 3.

I watched Bourne Identity last night. Good movie! I'll have to get Bourne Supremacy next...

I liked all the Bourne movies. I would see another if they made one.

I didn't see any of the Bourne movies, but the books were great reads!

Just finished watching That Thing You Do. That really is a fun one. Especially for anyone who ever wanted to be in a band.
