ThrownMuse The tagline here reads "Imagine "The Twilight Zone" on Rock 'n' Roll." I wouldn't go that far, but it was amusing for what it was. I guess this was a show that aired on VH-1, and it's about what you'd expect of a scripted series on a cable music channel. One fun episode features two metalheads who end up in "disco hell." Another stars Eric Roberts and Chris Masterson as dueling music-lovin' serial killers from two different generations who go at each other (very similar to the "Pick Me Up" MOH episode, really.) My favorite one is about an obnoxious rock star who trashes his hotel suite every night to tick off the sweet elderly room service lady, who has some tricks up her own sleeve. The last episode is the only one with a serious tone, starring Judd Nelson as a record exec who gets a "calling" whenever he hears talent that will hit it big. Unfortunately for his up and coming acts, they all kick the bucket in some godawful way as soon as their records start to sell. Overall, it isn't anything groundbreaking or frightening, but it's an amusing show that most rock fans can probably appreciate.

triple8 SPOILERS THROUGH:This was really creepy but REALLY GOOD! First I must start by saying this was a GREAT idea!! To bad it wasn't released as a major motion picture. I think there's an audience for this and it would have done really well! This is basically The Twilight Zone-rock-n-roll style. There are four stories, one right after the other and each one is rock oriented while keeping the original Twilight Zone premise. Whoever thought this up is a genius.As for the stories-they all varied. The first one, Disco Inferno could have been a story in itself and concerns two metal heads(boys) who....WARNING-MINOR SPOILER ON THE DISCO INFERNO STORY!Find hell as one big Disco. That's all I'm gonna say. This was supposed to be funny and it WAS to an extent but I actually found it rather creepy as well. Seeing these tough biker/metal dudes morph right on screen into disco guys freaked me out. I also felt a little hypocritical laughing because I LOVE BOTH METAL AND DISCO!! But that didn't detract from empathizing with these kids for the idea of being trapped forever in their worst nightmare. Definitely the best story.The 2nd one was REALLY creepy but the bantering about the different musical generations was funny too and the storyline in general was fascinating. Actually, I take it back about Disco Inferno being the best, the first two were equal.The third one about the maid and the rock star(room service?) again-familiar theme-both comic and sad, the lady who played the maid was GREAT-this story was good too.The LAST one however(more then a feeling I think it was called) I DID NOT LIKE AT ALL!!) MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD!!This was not only just plain sad, but heartbreaking and rather twisted(scratch the "rather" on that.) Didn't go with the rest and didn't belong in the movie. Lousy way to end a great hour or two.This is a must see for any music fan- a MUSTSEE-VH1 should make more of these and I am surprised this, or something similar hasn't been brought to the big screen yet.

Pat1973 Well there are 4 stories that are charged with great plots and great acting! It's a great movie in a whole! My favorite one was the one with Judd Nelson. He plays a record executive that just knows the future of his clients. There is one catch, he knows too much! It's a wicked ending not to miss! Now the Eric Roberts plot was with a hitchhicker that kills people. A wicked test of what people that are demented of what they are capable of doing! The whole cast is talented and sometimes funny! It reminds me of Tales from the Crypt with a rok edge! Watch all 4 it's a treat! Out of 4 stars I give it 3 1/2 stars! Watch it it's on VH1"Movies that Rock"! Worth it!

Phantom-43 I was pleasantly surprised by this little anthology film. It's not half-bad. A little bit Twilight Zone, a little bit Urban Legends, a little bit...well, VH1. It takes a lot of legends and conventions about rock starts, the music business, and the effect of music on our lives and does some pretty cool things with it. But as is the case with most anthology films, not all are created equal. There's one story that's very good, a couple of cute ones, and one bad one. But even the bad one isn't THAT bad. The first story, "Disco Inferno" is that one. It's not so much bad as it is very predictable. A couple of stoners who don't have much going for them except that they're rabid rock fans get into an accident driving home from a concert, and find themselves at a mysterious club where disco lives all night long. I'm probably spoiling the ending, but it's pretty obvious that they've died and gone to hell...and for them, hell is disco. I can relate. The best thing about this tale is that it features Danny Masterson putting a spin on his "That 70's Show" character. The second tale, "My Generation" is weird and darkly funny. It's about two music-loving, philosophically-minded serial killers who meet up and square off in the Pacific Northwest. If you can get over Eric Roberts as the psychotic Deadhead, you're in for a rather humorous satirical statement on music of this generation and the one before, how they compare and, perhaps, how the statement of the music of the 60's was lost on both generations involved. The third, "Room Service," is pretty straightforward. The story of the constantly-escalating battle of wills between an excess-loving, hotel-room trashing rock star (Geez, they still do that?), and the ultra-efficient housekeeping matron who manages to clean up all his messes with superhuman skill. It's fun to watch because it's so contrived, so based on legend that the tale seems familiar (and check it out, the guy from Duran Duran! An actual excess-loving rock star playing himself!). Not great, but fun. The final tale, "More than a Feeling" is the darkest and the best. It's the story of a recording company exec with a conscience (and no, that's not the fantasy part), who has a talent for picking the next rising star. Unfortunately, every one of his charges rises fast and crashes and burns even faster. This leaves him with guilt beyond all measure, and leaves him ultra-protective of his latest - and last surviving - artist, a young and talented female vocalist played with big-eyed innocence by Marla Sokoloff. I was a little thrown by this one, it being so dark and having Judd Nelson playing a character that wasn't a total sleaze, but in the end I was impressed - especially by the ultra-chilling final scene. Not a mast
