This review is from: Born to Lose (DVD)

This is not the Johnny Thunders documentary ''Born to Lose: The Last Rock N Roll Movie'' This is another punk rock doc. Do not get confused. The Thunders film is very hard to get. Your lucky if you get a 3rd generation copy of it for $100.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh yeah, pour some sugar on this., June 2, 1999

More fun than an afternoon at IHOP reading the paper, less fun than having your toes flossed by a geisha girl named Mindy. Finally a real depiction of Punk Rock, not a sad Hollywood gelled hair ripoff. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brutal, in your face look at the LA punk underground., May 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Born to Lose [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Independent film maker Doug Cawker has served up a wicked slice of LA life on the edge, detailing the lives of 4 stuggling musicians trying to bring some fun back to rock "n" roll. The barren 90s wasteland depicted here, along with the drugged out baggage they call their girlfreinds, dooms their chances for any real success from the word go. Their downward spiral definitely makes for great viewing. No wimpy hollywood happy endings here!!

Rent it, drink a 5th of vodka, crank up the volume, and scream "Eddy Vedder is dead!! Long live The Stooges"
