Rock Star

Not bad, but it would have been better if the film stuck to the source material - the story of how Tim "Ripper" Owens succeeded Rob Halford in Judas Priest. I say "succeeded" because *nobody* replaces Halford, but I digress... Instead, the story takes a few wide turns off path, presumably for dramatic value. Just sayin'.

"Dude, I just keep putting this shit on until I want to fuck myself!" Myles Kennedy really has a rocking voice right? Anyway Rock Star is a movie inspired by Judas Priest and how they replaced Rob Halford. Rock Star has a nice cast with Dominic West, Timothy Olyphant in smaller roles and Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston in the lead. They are all fine. They also have some true rock stars among the cast like Stephan Jenkins and Zakk Wylde. The soundtrack is great though and the best part of the movie. Songs like Lick It Up, Stranglehold and Wild Side. We have the usual build up with the romantic plot, we have some fun antics like the Ferrari vs. Batmobile race and I really liked the way that the film ends kind of like it started. And damn I really love Myles Kennedy's voice. So I really don't have much to say about Rock Star other then that I thought it was more entertaining when I was younger. Maybe it is because I saw the movie when I just started listening to hard rock more. Anyway it will still a decent rewatch.
