School of Rock
A documentary called Rock School is doing the rounds at the different festivals, and Apple.com recently posted the trailer. First off, the teacher, Paul Green, doesn't appear stable, and relies on his short temper and screaming as a form of inspiration. Secondly, though I can't make out the sentence, he says something about his dream and Rolling Stone Magazine. Now, in 2005, how can someone seriously suggest they know anything about music if they still favour anything found on the pages of Rolling Stone Magazine?! Secondly, how long was this movie in production? There is a clip of two kids saying that before they went to the school, they listened to Bush and 311. I'm sure he also fills these young heads with various rockist views (another form of child abuse, maybe?). Apple's site has trailers to a number of promising movies due out in the next few months. This isn't one of them.
