While in LA, this movie came highly recommended from my friend, so it was definitely worth the effort to check it out. The movie is narrated by Courtney Taylor-Taylor, the lead singer of The Dandy Warhols (All part of the invasion of the ?The? bands). The documentary does not focus on the Dandy Warhols, but rather the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Most of you are probably thinking, who are the Brian Jonestown Massacre and probably even a few are wondering, who are the Dandy Warhols. Well, this documentary tries to answer that question, or at least that was one question it answered.

Without going into too much detail, the film begins with the aspirations of two bands in the mid 90?s who were trying to change the world, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols. The documentary proceeds to show that they didn?t quite change the world, and furthermore, the former self-destructed in a drug induced haze under the helm of Anton Newcombe. However, despite all the problems with the Brian Jonestown Massacre, we see that the band produces truly some awesome music and has unfortunately been ignored by the public in general

Overall, this is documentary is pretty good. It was hard to watch the downward spiral of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, but the movie had a pretty good human element that added immensely to the story. As a side note, it is pretty cool to see that some pretty good bands have spawned from or been heavily influenced by Anton, such as the Warlocks and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (BRMC). Give it a shot.
