DVD Reviews of Rock 'n Roll High School - Special Edition
DVD Review: Drive-in Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids and grandkids love this CD and watch it over and over, wishing they had been around to see it at a drive-in. It's truly a classic!
My order arrived very promptly, before the estimated time of arrival, in excellent condition, and as described. Would definitely order from this seller again. Thanks!
DVD Review: Hysterical movie starring one of the greatest bands to set foot on a stage
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a comedy with New York's own Ramones. All kinds of hijinks break out at school. Many funny lines and of course, the rock beat of the main attraction. It's not exactly known for a complicated plot, but it's fun and it'll bring up your day. Snag the DVD for the 30th anniversary and put some life in your movie collection. :)DVD Review: Anarchy And Chaos Over Law And Order- It's Fun!...
Summary: 5 Stars
I hated high school. It was a boring prison for me and my friends. Miss Togar (Mary Woronov from Death Race 2000, Silent Night Bloody Night, Night Of The Comet, etc.) would have fit right in w/ her Hitler / Stalin routine. Riff (P.J. Soles from Carrie and Halloween) represents the kids who went against the deadening system and dared to be individuals. She just wants to have fun (while she's young!) by flushing the rules. The Ramones were the original punks, far ahead of the pack. They were doing their brand of music long before any of the "punk movement" even started. ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL is an excellent showcase for them, featuring some priceless concert scenes, as well as tons of good, old fashioned, dumb comedy. When the gleefully apocalyptic final? explodes (literally), I cheer every time! Boom! School truly IS out forever...DVD Review: Not as good as I remember
Summary: 2 Stars
I absolutely loved this movie when I was younger. I guess tastes change as you get older. lolDVD Review: High School Musical wannabe
Summary: 1 Stars
Ugh... where to begin? The Ramones are one of the lamest bands ever, so I didn't expect much but I was bored so I rented this movie because the cover was cool. Basically this movie has THE lamest plot ever, I think the director should've taken a cue from Napolean Dynamite for a plot inspiration because that's one of the best movies ever. The main character, Riff Randall, was annoying too. The songs were putrid. Check out "Camp Rock" or one of the "High School Musical" films instead of this old boring crap.
Description of Rock 'n Roll High School - Special Edition
"Allan Arkush had started prepping 'Disco High' when he and Joe Dante came up with a new angle . . . students defy their music-hating principal and turn the schoolhouse into a madhouse! But you just can't tear up high school to Disco music. When The Ramones joined the production, the transition was complete ...ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL was born!" ~~Vince Lombardi High School has quite a reputation: it's the wildest, most rockin' high school around! That is, until a thug of a principal, Miss Togar, comes along and tries to make the school a totalitarian state. With the help of the Ramones, the students of Vince Lombardi battle Miss Togar's iron-fisted rule and take their battle to a truly rockin' conclusion!~~In Memory of Joey Ramone 1951-2001~"Do your parents know you're Ramones?" With those withering words, Miss Togar (Mary Woronov), the uptight neofascist principal of Vince Lombardi High School, addresses the four mop-haired, leather-jacketed members of America's first and most famous punk band. And you know it won't be long before the Ramones's jackhammer riffs are blaring through the public address system at maximum volume, the kids are running--not walking--wild in the hallways (without passes!), and Miss Togar's gulag is re-christened "Rock 'n' Roll High School." Then, in keeping with the outrageously nihilistic animus of punk, the high school students and the Ramones just blow the place to smithereens. It's a crowd- pleasing, fantasy-fulfillment climax that combines the apocalyptic finale of Michelangelo Antonioni's Zabriskie Point with the explosive conclusion of Alice Cooper's "School's Out." Rock 'n' Roll High School is a blast, a goofy and liberating salute to the rebel spirit behind the teen rock & roll movies of the 1950s, which always pitted the kids' insatiable appetite for fun against the adults' fear-based authoritarianism. The film is emblematic of the disarmingly silly, tongue-in-cheek humor of the youth-oriented B-pictures cranked out in the '50s and '60s by renowned low-budget exploitation mogul Roger Corman (who gave many a hungry young filmmaker, including the creators of this film, their start in the biz), and of the noisy, anarchic energy of '70s punk rock, as personified by the inimitable Ramones. In the words of the maestros' beach-blanket-buzz-saw title anthem, this movie is "Fun, fun, oh baby, fun, fun..." --Jim Emerson
