Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

ThrownMuse The tagline here reads "Imagine "The Twilight Zone" on Rock 'n' Roll." I wouldn't go that far, but it was amusing for what it was. I guess this was a show that aired on VH-1, and it's about what you'd expect of a scripted series on a cable music channel. One fun episode features two metalheads who end up in "disco hell." Another stars Eric Roberts and Chris Masterson as dueling music-lovin' serial killers from two different generations who go at each other (very similar to the "Pick Me Up" MOH episode, really.) My favorite one is about an obnoxious rock star who trashes his hotel suite every night to tick off the sweet elderly room service lady, who has some tricks up her own sleeve. The last episode is the only one with a serious tone, starring Judd Nelson as a record exec who gets a "calling" whenever he hears talent that will hit it big. Unfortunately for his up and coming acts, they all kick the bucket in some godawful way as soon as their records start to sell. Overall, it isn't anything groundbreaking or frightening, but it's an amusing show that most rock fans can probably appreciate.

THEHELLHECOULD A very original movie (in a derivative kind of way!!!) First saw it on cable and it was a nice surprise as I was not expecting anything of it. Particularly liked the hitchhiker story .

Primate84 I basically really liked Strange Frequency, except for one part: the final story, "More Than a Feeling". Although Judd Nelson does really well in this segment, I found the story to be simply too disturbing for me. Also, since the other three stories were obviously intended to be funny, why couldn't they have done the same for this one? However, the other three segments are all thoroughly enjoyable. The first story, "Disco Inferno", was OK, and I thought it was funny to see that guy turn into a disco dancer(I'm not naming anyone, for fear of this being considered a spoiler). The second story, "My Generation", was quite good. Eric Roberts and Chris Masterson do a great job in creating these two interesting, entertaining characters, and I couldn't help laughing when they were discussing which of them should kill certain people, and with what weapon.My favorite story, however, was the third one, "Room Service". John Taylor makes an excellent rock star degenerate/ hotel trasher, and I also really liked the calm, prissy maid, although I fail to see how she could put up with guests like him. My two favorite scenes in this segment were when the maid is telling the reporter about all of the musical legends that stayed at that hotel( I loved how she referred to all of them as Mr., such as Mr. Presley, Mr. Jagger,etc.) and the immensely funny scene in which Jimmy was involved in that little feud with the maid. I couldn't stop laughing as I watched the maid calmly repair all the almost irreparable damages Jimmy did to the hotel room. All in all, this was a pretty good movie.

Phantom-43 I was pleasantly surprised by this little anthology film. It's not half-bad. A little bit Twilight Zone, a little bit Urban Legends, a little bit...well, VH1. It takes a lot of legends and conventions about rock starts, the music business, and the effect of music on our lives and does some pretty cool things with it. But as is the case with most anthology films, not all are created equal. There's one story that's very good, a couple of cute ones, and one bad one. But even the bad one isn't THAT bad. The first story, "Disco Inferno" is that one. It's not so much bad as it is very predictable. A couple of stoners who don't have much going for them except that they're rabid rock fans get into an accident driving home from a concert, and find themselves at a mysterious club where disco lives all night long. I'm probably spoiling the ending, but it's pretty obvious that they've died and gone to hell...and for them, hell is disco. I can relate. The best thing about this tale is that it features Danny Masterson putting a spin on his "That 70's Show" character. The second tale, "My Generation" is weird and darkly funny. It's about two music-loving, philosophically-minded serial killers who meet up and square off in the Pacific Northwest. If you can get over Eric Roberts as the psychotic Deadhead, you're in for a rather humorous satirical statement on music of this generation and the one before, how they compare and, perhaps, how the statement of the music of the 60's was lost on both generations involved. The third, "Room Service," is pretty straightforward. The story of the constantly-escalating battle of wills between an excess-loving, hotel-room trashing rock star (Geez, they still do that?), and the ultra-efficient housekeeping matron who manages to clean up all his messes with superhuman skill. It's fun to watch because it's so contrived, so based on legend that the tale seems familiar (and check it out, the guy from Duran Duran! An actual excess-loving rock star playing himself!). Not great, but fun. The final tale, "More than a Feeling" is the darkest and the best. It's the story of a recording company exec with a conscience (and no, that's not the fantasy part), who has a talent for picking the next rising star. Unfortunately, every one of his charges rises fast and crashes and burns even faster. This leaves him with guilt beyond all measure, and leaves him ultra-protective of his latest - and last surviving - artist, a young and talented female vocalist played with big-eyed innocence by Marla Sokoloff. I was a little thrown by this one, it being so dark and having Judd Nelson playing a character that wasn't a total sleaze, but in the end I was impressed - especially by the ultra-chilling final scene. Not a mast
