Year: 1996
Director: Bruce McDonald
Plot: Bruce McDonald directed this mock-documentary (and appears onscreen as himself) which looks at a veteran punk rock band taking one final stab at the big time. Singer Joe Dick (Hugh Dillon), guitarist Billy Tallent (Callum Keith Rennie), bassist John Oxenberger (John Pyper-Fergson), and drummer Pipefitter (Bernie Coulson) were the members of Hard Core Logo, a Vancouver-based rock band that was one of Canada's biggest and most influential punk outfits for the better part of a decade. Formed in 1978, Hard Core Logo broke up in 1991 after releasing seven albums and playing over a thousand shows; Joe went on to play the occasional solo gig, Billy moved to L.A. and has been sitting in with platinum-selling alternative pop band Jennifur while their guitarist tries to kick drugs, John has been putting his life back together after a severe nervous breakdown, and Pipefitter hasn't been doing much of anything. Word begins to circulate that Bucky Haight (Julian Richings), one of the seminal figures of Canadian punk and Joe's mentor, lost a leg (or maybe both) following a mysterious incident in which intruders shot him after breaking into his prairie farmhouse. Joe organizes a benefit for Bucky, with Hard Core Logo reuniting for the occasion; the show is a huge success, and Joe persuades Billy to join him, John, and Pipefitter for a five-date reunion tour to cash in on the benefit's notoriety. Billy, killing time while he waits to find out if his spot in Jennifur will become permanent, is more than a bit preoccupied, and his desire for professionalism doesn't mesh especially well with Joe's take-it-as-it-comes attitude -- especially after it becomes evident that Joe's purposes for reuniting the band weren't as benevolent as they seemed. Actual Canadian punk legends D.O.A. make a cameo appearance as one of Hard Core Logo's opening acts, and American punk godfather Joey Ramone appears briefly in a news report about the Bucky Haight benefit show. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Body: Anne-Marie and I had Saturday passes to the Salem Film Festival. I was motivated to buy the passes so we would be sure to see The Tracey Fragments, the latest from director Bruce MacDonald (Roadkill, Hard Core Logo), and starring Ellen Page. It was a full house and a truly interesting film. As much as Canadians may mourn the lack of commercial traction for their indigenous films, especially English-Canadian film, The Tracey Fragments demonstrates why the world is better when artists feel free to experiment. A full review by next weekend. I promise. Originally posted on:Short-Circuit Signs

Body: This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown”. To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entryHard Core LogoI chose to watch this movie based on strong urging from my friend Andy. I was also interested in the fact that it was distributed on Tarantino's Rolling Thunder series.It's sort of a punk-rock version of This is Spinal Tap. If you are big into punk-rock movies, philosophies, and aesthetic, you will probably find this movie funny and interesting. And if you are a Canadian punk, probably even more. Joe Dick is a serious dick, if you like people acting like total assholes. But if you are fascinated with any of history's punk-rock idols then you'll know what to expect.I had a fairly good time with it, but overall got a little tired of it. It was fun enough for one time, but I don't have any desire to ever see it again.Not much else I have to say about it.Rating: 7/10

Body: Here’s the dilemma. I have a list of well over three thousand movies I want to see saved on IMDB. I have a subscription to Netflix and recently every time I return a DVD it has been an extremely arduous task to make the decision as to which movie I should see next. In an effort to narrow down my choices and make the process of choosing slightly less overwhelming I have devised a system, almost a bit of a game for me. Here’s how it goes.For my first film selection, I have narrowed the options down to only films that were released in the year 2006. Then after I have watched that movie, my next selection would have to be a film released in 2005. Then I would see a film from 2004, then 2003, etc. The process of deciding is still laborious, but actually quite a bit more exciting. (I'm going by IMDB as my source for release years)I have already been making a list and have also already begun watching the films. I decided this might be a good time to start fooling around with this spoutblog I have until now left unutilized. So I’ll try to start writing a little blurb or so about each movie I watch in this process.My only limitation here is of course movies that are available on Netflix. Which sadly excludes several I know are available on DVD, and have been longing to see for a long time, but Netflix just doesn’t seem to have available. It’d sort of annoying how they do list quite a few movies that that you can put in your queue under “saved”, yet they obviously do not have available. I have countless movies in that unavailable but saved queue, and I’m not sure that a single one has ever become available. What’s the point I wonder.But if anyone has any recommendations, I'll take that into consideration. THANK YOU!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------New addition to this post:Today is Tuesday March 13, and I have completed a preliminary list of all of the movie I will be watching. Unfortunately many of them were not available on Netflix. I will hunt those down some day. I'm don't doubt that as I make my way through the list I will make a few more changes depending on my mood and other factors, but for now, here it is:1. Art School Confidential (2006)2.
