This film outlines the story line of Fozzy, An American rock band who got trapped by a 20 year record deal that prohibited them from leaving Japan. The film shows as they prepare for their first show in America after 20 years. although the story is completely fake and it's really quite obvious, it is a brilliant "mockumentary" As Fozzy frontman Moongoose McQueen/Chris Jericho calls it. If you liked the Spinal Tap "rockumentary" you'll enjoy this film. It has some of the biggest names in rock in it also, Dee Snider (Twisted Sister), Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society/Ozzy Osbourne), and several others. On this film there are also a few music videos and backstage interviews, It's well worth a watch if you get hold of a copy.

The Longest Yard
(2005)
Brilliant
23 April 2006
I love this film, it's just got that dry humor in it. If you enjoyed any of Adam Sandlers other films or you like American Football or even the original the longest yard you'll love this film. It has the typical Sandler trates to it such as two regulars of his films are in it. And the mix of Pro wrestlers also makes it brilliant, especially since you see Kevin Nash's character is completely different to his wrestling persona. It's so violent at parts but comically funny at the same time (the violence I mean). I could watch this film every week or so and not get bored of it, it's just so cleverly made. It has everything you'd want, A massively strong guy who's as emotionally weak as a baby, Men on hormone pills (LOL!!) and then of course the serious story line of power made corruption.
