New York Doll (2005)
Pretty F-in' Sweet
THIS MOVIE ROCKS.
There've been a lot of music docs in the last few years but this one I think is pretty special. The NY Dolls aren't your typical rock band Arthur Killer Kane isn't your typical movie subject.
Of course, if you like the Dolls -- and if you don't, you're crazy -- you'll love the movie. There's great early 70s footage and their reunion in London in 2004 is amazing. But what makes the movie so cool is the personal story of Arthur, a former drunk whose dream of playing with his old bandmates comes true after years of hard times.
The musical performances are AWESOME. No one has ever sounded like the Dolls and no one ever will. There are interviews with David Johannson and Bob Geldof and Morrisey and the movie is as rocking as it is personal.
A GREAT MOVIE. GO SEE IT.
