Double Feature: HEAVY METAL & AMERICAN POP August 1, 2010

Double Feature: HEAVY METAL, 1981, Sony Repertory, 90 min. Dir. Gerald Potterton. The artwork of Heavy Metal magazine reaches the screen in a series of dazzling episodes created by a variety of top animation studios. Classic rock tracks by Cheap Trick, Journey, Black Sabbath and others co-exist with a superb (and criminally underrated) Elmer Bernstein score to create a feast for the eyes and ears.

AMERICAN POP, 1981, Sony Repertory, 96 min. Dir. Ralph Bakshi. The bouncing and bruising story of four sets of fathers and sons, this is Bakshi’s musical cruise through rock’ n roll history, fueled by classic tunes from Gershwin, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Seger, and dozens of others.
