 I can't help but compare Prey for Rock & Roll to Light of Day. Light of Day was a movie I really shoulda liked. After all, it was directed by Paul Schrader and starred Joan Jett. It was just too cliched and melodramatic for me. Yeah, this film has plenty of cliches and melodrama, but it rings a lot truer to me. Gina Gershon (it's no secret that She's my all-time favorite Actress) stars as Jacki, the bi (not that it matters since her love of rock n roll always takes priority) tattoo artist leader of the Clam Dandys. The Clam Dandys are no Josie & the Pussycats. They're not dreaming of the superstardom that's eluded them. They just want a decent indie deal and The chance to open for X (yay!). Gina's performance is her best yet. It's also very close to her own reality: she's someone who deserves to be a bigger star than she is and she's held back by a youth obsessed media culture. The rest of the band (Shelly Cole, the always cool Lori Petty, and Drea de Matteo) are all believable. The one who surprised me was Marc Blucas (as Shelly Cole's ex- con brother). I was expecting him to suck, because I hated him on Buffy, but he's actually good here. The songs are great (I do recommend the soundtrack). If that's not enough, Texas Terri's in it too! - Evil Larry , posted 06/08/05 |
