Diane says: “Am I glad I saw this one! And gladder still to see Anvil’s decent sked of tour dates for the next couple of months (they’re playing in England now and will open for AC/DC in Foxborough next month).
“I love docu’s: even if the movie is bad, you may be introduced to a fascinating subject (like doorstops or cochlear implants). In ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL, I learned that quiet, quinquagenarian–and of course, polite–Canadians can be heavy metal heroes.
“I like this line from the SF Chronicle: ‘Anvil lives somewhere in that thoroughly entertaining gray area between self-parody and the triumph of human spirit.’ 4 cats.”
Beth Caldwell says: “Interesting, not bad, but not that great. 2 cats”
