The fact that this film's target
audience is teenagers, particularly
teenage metal fans, bothers me. It does
nothing to try to show them this music
as it should be shown. Instead it gives
them what they want to see, only rein
forcing the idea that hard rock serves
as method of alienation from the rest of
mainstream society. Unfortunately, too

leave with a feeling that playing records

due largely to the limitations of his
character. Still there is no excuse for
what he does or fails to do in the
high school dance scene. He is terrible
when he tries to look as if he was play

Inevitably, Fields' role quite literally
goes down the toilet.
Ozzy's cameo appearance as an
evangelist out to stop rock'n'roll is at
first very delightful. The irony of his
portrayal of the very same people out to
stop his music will be enjoyed by Ozzy
fans. Yet even this scene has one minor
flaw, although few will notice it. If you
look closely, you will be able to see
Ozzy's name tattooed on his knuckles. I
wonder about his participation in a
project with such a muddled message.
Is His Ozzness selling out?
The problems with this film may
have begun with the directing. Do you
