Movie The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years
Nutshell The Los Angeles Heavy Metal scene circa 1987. On the humanity!
Good Things Aerosmith, Ozzy, Lemmy, Megadeth, Poison (oh come on - they're hilarious goddammit!), Faster Pussycat, Heavy Metal trailer trash beauty queens dancing in stilettos and ankle socks (remember stilettos and ankle socks?)
Bad Things I don't care if you own a heavy metal club, you're still a dirty old man. Some seriously pathetic characters in this and more from KISS than anyone ever needs to hear.
Features More jewelry, hair and scarves than you can stand. Seriously, you thought Steel Magnolias was coiffure-centric? Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Poison!
Uncomfortable Moments Feeling sorry for the yummy Chris "W.A.S.P." Holmes's mom sitting by while he self-destructs in the swimming pool.
Notable You know a movie is in trouble when it has to throw in Megadeth in order to end on a positive note.
Best Part The post Sabbath/pre-incoherence Ozzy making breakfast and being funny. Aaaawww....
Best Line "Oh my God! Not more fog!"
Crowns 3 out of 5
