Additional InformationMark Wahlberg tears down the house in Stephen Herek's ROCK STAR, in which he plays Chris Cole, a local guy from Pittsburgh who is a copy-machine repairman by day (still living at home), and the lead singer of Blood Pollution, a Steel Dragon tribute band, at night. (Steel Dragon is a heavy-metal hair band living it big in the 1980s.) Cole prides himself on getting everything exactly right when he's onstage, every note, every costume, every shade of mascara; he even gets a nipple ring right after Steel Dragon's lead singer does. Chris's dream turns into reality when Steel Dragon fires its lead singer and brings Chris in to audition for the job. He gets the gig, but he also gets a lot more than he bargained for.<BR>Wahlberg is brilliant as Cole, playing the role to perfection, both as the young dreamer and the rock star living to excess. Jennifer Aniston is also excellent as Emily, his longtime girlfriend and manager who stands by him for as long as she can. The music nails the 1980s heavy-metal explosion, both in the original songs that Steel Dragon plays and the incidental music, from such groups as Kiss, Jon Bon Jovi, Ted Nugent, AC/DC, Motley Crue, and Dio. As good as Wahlberg and Aniston are, Timothy Spall, as Steel Dragon's manager, nearly steals the picture. ROCK STAR is an invigorating, intoxicating, thrilling ride of a movie; at times it even feels like it's the true story behind Spinal Tap. (In fact, it is loosely based on the true story of Ripper Owens and Judas Priest.) As an added bonus, the film features, in small roles, musicians who have played with such metalheads as Dokken, Slaughter, Ozzy Osbourne, and more.

  • Brilliant Film

    If you like rock music then you'll love this. The film tells the story of a rock fan who is obsessed with his favourite band modelling himself on the lead singer, he sings in a tribute band and after the lead singer is sacked from the real band he is catapulted to stardom with his music hero's. Good performances from Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Aniston, Dominic West and Timothy Oliphant. Timothy Spall as the band manager is excellent. The film features music from AC/DC, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Kiss, Motley Crue, Ted Nugent and Inxs, as well as songs performed by the fictional rock band Steeldragon. Ozzy Osbournes guitarist Zac Wilde is the lead guitarist for Steeldragon while Jason Bonham is the drummer. I love this film.

  • a bit of fun

    Loosely based on the Judas Priest story of recruiting a new vocalist (very loosely). A funny concept and enjoyable
