this goofy comedy is about a mediocre band forcing their way into the spotlight , quite literally . there are multiple references to lemmy in the film , but his brief cameo steals the screen late in the film :

lemmy is a movie starring lemmy , phil campbell , and mikkey dee . a documentary on the life and career of revered heavy - metal musician lemmy kilmister .
lemmy’s first film credit is the wacky british satire from 1987 . he plays a henchman of sorts . the plot of the film is ridiculous , the humor is dark and dry , and no group of people is safe from the satirical jabs . lemmy looks exactly like lemmy , even dressed the same as any fan would expect . his performance is enjoyable , albeit not groundbreaking ; but , the film is worth a watch , both for lemmy and the commentary on society in thatcher - era great britain .
it will be interesting to see our part in the film when it comes out .
the film is being premiered at a film festival in texas next month . details of its uk release date haven ' t yet been confirmed , but it should be available on dvd in the future .
notorious heavy metal star lemmy , of motorhead , is the subject of a new documentary film . the crew have been to amlwch to find out about his schooldays .
but emyr can ' t help wondering what lemmy might say about his old school on the film , as he didn ' t leave under the best of circumstances .
being a fan of motorhead , i very much enjoyed this portrait of the legendary frontman lemmy kilimister , quite possibly the most bad assed rock n roller that has ever lived . not to mention that he also possesses the nastiest , dirtiest voice in rock n roll history . lemmy is the film that goes behind the scenes . a phenomenal film documenting the life of the legendary frontman . this film covers all sorts of areas and is a must see for all motorhead fans and rock fans in general . the film features awesome interviews by some of the iconic musicians of rock and heavy metal music . plus we get the scoop by the man himself . lemmy is a well assembled documentary about one of the most beloved rock musicians . for the motorhead , lemmy is the most thorough documentary on lemmy that i have seen . any fans of the band oir the genre should check this film out . the film has many interviews with respected musicians , actors and previous band members that lemmy has shared the stage with . i recommend this documentary to everyone who is a motorhead fan and want to get a glimpse of its legendary frontman . lemmy is a good place to start and is a must see for fans everywhere . a terrific and insightful documentary , given time , this film will be seen as as a documentary classic of rock music and quite the possibly the seminal film on lemmy kilmister . i ' ve seen plenty of documentaries on the band and lemmy , but none of them are better assembled than this one . lemmy is the best film on the legendary frontman , where tv documentaries have failed , this one succeeds .
the casting for the film has been announced via facebook , each one accompanied by small descriptions of their character .

orshoski says .
you think you know who lemmy is , but you have no idea . if you think you have lemmy all figured out , trust me . you don ' t !
the troma team misses lemmy . we recall his quote from a radio interview in 1999 , shortly after shooting terror firmer . when asked what it was like to be immortalized in film , lemmy replied : “immortalized is one thing , troma is another . i don’t know if they’re going to last . ”

though godard does not concentrate on computer or biological science in this film , he has a penchant for throwing around scientific names and terms in a humorous way . in an early scene , lemmy and natasha unknowingly discuss quantum physics :
devotees of lemmy kilmister will be in heaven watching this gushing love letter to the man who straddles rock subgenres , but anyone who ' s not already a fan will cry for mercy long before the nearly two - hour film ends .

jurassic era crocodile named after motörhead′s lemmy | news | dw | 09 . 08 . 2017
called gutterdämmerung : the loudest silent film on earth , the plot will revolve around a satanic guitar and pop’s fallen angel . watch the trailer below .
from the way that godard uses science in this film , it might seem that godard either doesnt take technology seriously or is trying to make fun of it . however , as a self - professed lover , creator , and user of film and its technology , godard is making less of an
attack
on technology than a
concerned critique
( sterritt 15 ) . through lemmy caution , godard explores the sociological complexities and contradictions of technology . with his ever - present camera , gun , and ford galaxy ( a shoddy sedan that lemmy says is really
spaceship
) , lemmy clearly uses technology , but compared to the
advanced
technology of alpha 60 and its engineers , a lot of lemmys tools seem obsolete . however , lemmys hardboiled , low - tech image to frame a surprisingly deep sense of poetry . this side of lemmy is strongly apparent when he must fight technology , both to overcome alpha 60 and break the brainwashing of natasha . alpha 60 asks lemmy about his choice of religion , and lemmy replies ,
i believe in the immediate inspirations of my conscience
( godard 54 ) . conscience is one of the films recurring words , emphasizing that lemmy is willing to use technology , but not at the expense of his own depth of thought .

' lemmy ' movie to receive u . s . dvd / blu - ray release in february
lemmy passed away last december , following a short battle with cancer . he was aged 70 .
meanwhile , download festival organisers have confirmed that they have renamed its main stage after lemmy . motorhead were due to perform at download 2016 but pulled out after lemmy died of cancer in december .
much in the tradition of classic movies of 1920’s hollywood , the film is mostly silent but instead of a lone piano a live rock band express the emotions and action whilst special effects from the film explode to life all around the audience . think of a deafening rock ‘n’ roll version of secret cinema taking place in hell and you might just begin to have an idea of what gutterdämmerung is . this spectacular film will tour with its live band again in 2017 .

it features lemmy exiting a bar and saying , “i have never drunk milk and never will” before smiling and adding “you asshole” . the script was altered to recreate the ad as a tribute following lemmy’s death .
“we were in the middle of post - production when the news about lemmy broke , ” said jussi lindholm , chief operating officer of hasan & partners , the marketing agency that created the film . “we are profoundly grateful to have worked with him and that lemmy’s management feel good about the result . we discussed not airing the ad but had footage that was not part of the original script , which crystallised lemmy’s spirit , so we agreed to change it and make a tribute . ”
i think i learned the most about lemmy through his autobiography and his several documentary appearances . when i heard he passed , i spent time looking for something to watch with him in it and it got me thinking about lemmy’s appearances in films . below is a list of 6 films you should watch in lemmy’s honor :
farewell lemmy and joe . you were invaluable members of the troma team and you will forever be missed .
motorhead frontman lemmy has been immortalised in a new life - size statue at his favourite los angeles bar .
billed as “the loudest silent movie on earth” and featuring an all - star rock and roll cast , filmmaker björn tagemose’s gutterdämmerung already sounded like it would be a wild ride when it was announced in july . with the recent release of the film’s first trailer , the film / concert hybrid shows that it may be even crazier than first described .

a damn fine rockumentary about the life of living legend lemmy . a insightful background about his personal life and life on and off the stage . featuring many renowned rockstars voicing stories and experiences with lemmy . a highly interesting documentary for fans of the godlike genius lemmy and the ultimate band motã¶rhead . excellent stuff ! ! ! ! !
lemmy
will be released in the u . k . , germany , france and scandinavia on dvd by entertainment one on january 24 , 2011 . the film premiered in the u . s . in march 2010 during the south by southwest at the historic paramount theatre in austin .
lemmy’s funeral was held in los angeles on january 9 , with dave grohl , slash and more in attendance .
fun for fans and a healthy primer for those previously unaware , the film ' s overall air of fawning worship makes it feel softer than befits such a gruff , roguish figure .
between the most honorable films is “hunting” ( medibas ) from series “rescue team” directed by janis cimmermanis . film , which had been produced at 2007 . has received 9 prizes at different festivals . another successful animation short is
hedgehogs and the city
( 2013 . ) by evalds lacis ; it has received 10 awards in international film festivals around the world .
somehow , björn tagemos - a swedish visual artist - has managed to assemble one of the greatest line - ups of rock stars ever , and has cast them in a silent film .
lemmy
( full title :
lemmy : 49 % motherfucker 51 % son of a bitch
) , the long - awaited documentary examining the life and career of motörhead frontman and rock icon lemmy kilmister , will be released on dvd ( a two - dvd set
loaded with incredibly awesome bonus
) , blu - ray and digital download on in the u . s . on february 15 . in mid - january , the film will hit select theaters in the u . s . ( mostly major markets ) .
lemmy will play a crazed general leading the “armour cavalry” during a dark explosive moment for the two heroines of gutterdämmerung .
every fan has their own ideal set of figures that are seminal to the foundations of heavy metal and lemmy kilmister has always been a part of that set . as the new decade has rolled over , lemmy , at 65 , has a career spanning six decades , with no sign of slowing down or changing a damn thing . lemmy examines lemmy’s career , lifestyle and impact on western music , much of which should impress a fan of any sub - genre of rock .
forthcoming cinematic epic gutterdämmerung sounds utterly , utterly bonkers . starring a cast of rock’n’roll royalty , the film [ directed by björn tagemose ] is out until next summer , when it will be touring festivals with a live band before heading indoors . a live fan event previewing scenes from the film took place last night at the forum in london , where grace jones appeared to sing ‘nightclubbing’ .
the ad was shot in maunula , finland , close to hartwall arena where motörhead performed shortly after lemmy finished the commercial .
i was in the deputy ' s office and a gentleman came to the door . he explained he was a film producer and was very confident , as americans are ,
said emyr .
the 3 rd and final documentary on this list is 2010’s lemmy : 49 % motherfucker , 51 % son of a bitch , the most recent of several documentaries about the rock legend . the film shows an intimate look into the lemmy’s life , showing him with his friends , his son , and in his apartment . this one is a personal favorite , as the maniac riding his motorcycle with the ornate costume helmet is the aforementioned uncle scott .

nothing here you probably didn ' t know if you like lemmy and motorhead , but it ' s still a solid doc .

while the film has yet to announce a release date , the three - minute black and white clip gives a bit of insight into the plot and introduces the key players : iggy pop , motörhead ‘s lemmy , henry rollins , grace jones , queens of the stone age’s josh homme , slash , mark lanegan , eagles of death metal’s jesse hughes and slayer’s tom araya . the clip also shows how the filmmakers will incorporate the live part of the event , which will fuse the film with a concert featuring as - yet - unannounced artists .
analysing alphaville in its historical context , he also examines how the film in fluenced godard ' s later work , as well as exploring alphaville ' s ' afterlife ' in the work of other filmmakers and artists .
lemmy’s final movie role as president of the united states in troma’s upcoming release “return to return to nuke ‘em high aka vol . 2”
i got to see
lemmy
last night at the fantasia film festival and i loved it . every second of it . i mean , i ' ve been a motorhead fan for over two decades now and always liked lemmy , but after watching this film and having the chance to see the man in his natural habitat and all that , i love the guy a thousand fold more ( no , not sexually ) . he is rock n ' roll . we had the two film makers do a q & a afterwards , too , and the stories we heard we ' re just as funny . zakk wylde getting so drunk that his interview was a complete waste of time . . . stuff like that hopefully will make the dvd extras set once it gets released . ( which they said themselves should be out just before christmas 2010 in north america , by the way ! ! ) the near sold - out crowd was loud and laughed and cheered throughout . . . except when they booed the likes of lars ulrich and co . , haha ! anyway . . . just go see the bloody film , ok ?
lemmy is the feature - length documentary about the life and career of british metal legend kilmister , which gets its u . k . premiere at the london film festival next saturday ( october 23 ) . and for all us motí¶rhead fans who can ' t afford the airfare to jolly old england , it ' ll be released on dvd january 24 .
lemmy might be still drinking jack and coke into his later years , he might still curse like a sailor , but few rockers are continually as down to earth as lemmy . signing autographs , pictures , never saying no . his stage performances still reach 120 decibels . lemmy is a staple among metal music scene , yet the lower points in his life ( at least how lemmy may consider low points ) were few and far in between . one particular moment that his son explains is blown over quickly by lemmy himself , but the rest of his career seems to be of that of a man who just wants to rock , anywhere , any time , nothing is too good for him .
the studio means a group of professionals , sixteen in number right now , three filming pavilions , and working parallel . the puppets are handmade . the studio produces a 5 - minute puppet film / commercial in approximately 2 months .
late motörhead frontman lemmy kilmister stars as a surly , blood - guzzling vampire in finnish gothic - rock singer jyrki 69’s “bloodlust” video . the eerie footage – also featuring porn star ron jeremy , guns n’ roses keyboardist dizzy reed and l . a . guns guitarist tracii guns – previews phoebe dollar’s upcoming horror film sunset society , which follows vampire rockers on the sunset strip .
lemmy first appeared on a troma movie soundtrack with motörhead’s “sacrifice” for tromeo and juliet . in 2010 , lemmy and company provided a song for mr . bricks : a heavy metal murder musical with the rocker “outlaw” . lemmy’s final appearance on a troma soundtrack will be in the upcoming troma release return to return to nuke ‘em high aka vol . 2 , which features “shoot out all of your lights” , a track off motörhead’s final album .
i passed on lemmy because i figured it was going to be another behind kissing movie along the lines of the justin bieber movie , plus because of my age i didn ' t have a good understanding of motorhead . i accidentally watched it this week on tv and man am i pissed at myself . the creators told lemmy on the first day , they just want an honest portrayal of his life and they got it . lemmy is funny , smart , sometimes annoying in his high level of common sense , he is like a really cool grandfather to anyone under 30 . the fact that lemmy manages to let these people in his house , allows them to talk to his son and friends and still keeps plenty of private details private , pretty much explains lemmy in a nutshell . i had extra fun with it and enjoyed it beyond words . lemmy is one awesome mf
in the past two years , two great rock documentaries were made about the groups anvil and rush . you don ' t even need to like those bands to love those films . lemmy is rightfully considered a legend and this documentary is full of accolades by metal / hard rock heroes . while it is an interesting film , i would have liked to have seen more about his childhood , what brought him to this point . i found more interesting the comments by his former band mates , and particularly vanian and captain sensible from the damned . ozzy is here and , like lemmy himself , is hard to understand . there needed to be more subtitles . one of the best things about this film is it shows lemmy to be a pretty good person . its great to be able to meet his guitarist son paul . i think this film needed more of that , more about the man than the legend . however , if you ' re a motorhead fan , my rating could be kicked up to at least 9 . rock needed lemmy and he has delivered for decades . its a fitting tribute , not as good as it could have been , but i ' m glad it was made . i recommend it to non metal fans , so you can meet a true legend .
the release will feature the band ' s two shows in munich , germany , which they played a month before their frontman lemmy ' s passing .
didn ' t know much about lemmy before this movie , seems like a really cool guy . looking forward to seeing him at coachella this year .
think you ' ve got the chops to publish movie reviews and film criticism on cinemafunk ? well , you ' re in luck . cinemafunk is always looking for new contributors who have knowledge in new and classic films . find out how .
it ' s not everyday an american film producer turns up at your school and says he ' d like to talk about a former pupil . but that ' s what happened to headmaster emyr williams at ysgol syr thomas jones in amlwch .
do you love lemmy ? ? no , nor me . or at least , i didn ' t before i went to see this documentary as a brownie - points concession to my metal - head boyfriend . now i think lemmy is awesome ! still don ' t like metal or motorhead , but that is really irrelevant because this film is so engaging and its subject so endearing , original and wonderful . i knew little about lemmy apart from the cowboy hat and the warts . but my heart was truly warmed - both by him and by the loving regard that fellow giants of metal apparently hold him in . the man ' s a total one - off and on that basis alone , this documentary is well worth seeing . i still hate metal but even if they ' re only indifferent to the music i think most people would love this film . and if you ' re a fan already , then it ' s absolutely unmissable .
much like motörhead shows , this documentary should be played loud , really loud . if you were looking for the chronological examination of lemmy’s career , you will be disappointed . if you thought lemmy lived a larger than life persona and became a different person off - stage , you will be thoroughly surprised . lemmy is a common person , eating french fries and playing video games , trash piling up on the coffee table , and collecting items that interest him . he is most of my friends in my undergrad college years . lemmy explains that lemmy does what he wants , when he wants , and on his own terms , but is always willing to take the time to reminisce and take a photograph , but never smiles , because that would not be cool .
von brauns guards capture lemmy and take him to be interrogated by alpha 60 . lemmy is then given a tour of the computers control center , where he learns that von braun intends to declare war on the still - civilized outlands ( with the intention of automating the rest of the galaxy ) . lemmy is too complex for the computer to understand , so he is released until the computer can determine what to do with him . lemmy returns to his hotel and finds natasha waiting for him . though he knows she is also automated , he cannot help falling in love with her , and tries to help her break through her automation by teaching her the meaning of words like
conscience ,
tenderness ,
and
love .
their surreal , stylized love scene is interrupted as the police barge in . the police , who have discovered lemmys true identity , arrest lemmy and take him back to the control center , but lemmy shoots all the guards and kills von braun . this final killing renders the alpha 60 impotent . as the stunned mutant inhabitants of alphaville stumble through the city , lemmy saves natasha , who has learned the meaning of the word
love ,
and they drive back to the outlands together
unlike 2001 : a space odyssey ( 1968only three years later ! ) , which employed highly advanced scientific extrapolations , alphaville uses science mainly as light background or as a basis for subtle witticisms . the films eerie science fiction mood is almost the sole product of sound , unusual negative - hue and jump - cut editing , and lighting . for instance , piercing electronic beeps , gravelly voices , and sudden absences of sound are unexpectedly scattered through the film . mundane middle - class characters talk about their recent space flight . most scenes take place in dank rooms , endless hallways , or outside at night . take away these elements , and the result ( aside from a few very strange scenes ) resembles a third - rate french detective film .
it stars ( the voice of ) danny trejo and it features lemmy playing a priest . like i asked before , how can it not be amazing ?
lemmy ' s girlfriend cheryl keuleman said the rainbow bar was a fitting location to honour him because it was his
favourite place in the world
.
despite being about music , gutterdämmerung is a silent film – but not just any silent film . branded as the ‘loudest silent movie ever made’ . a live band will be providing the soundtrack as the film tours the world , playing music composed from contributions from all of its rock’n’roll superstars . “the manner in which a silent movie was given music by a piano player will essentially be replaced by a rock’n’roll band , ” explains jesse . björn’s taken iggy pop’s current band , one hell of a brilliant set of musicians , and as it tours around the world it will incorporate the performers who live there , so it’s got this roving feel to it . we all believe in it , even though we necessarily didn’t know what we’re believing in . ”
after commenting on how lemmy enjoyed his alone time , though it came across as a bit sad in the documentary , the director succinctly sums up the character of the motorhead frontman , adding ,
lemmy made his own choices , and was content with them . don’t feel bad for lemmy . he did what he wanted to do when he wanted to do it , every day for the better part of six decades . i can’t say that about many people .
the monument was built after a crowd - funding campaign raised more than 22 , 000 dollars ( £16 , 600 ) following lemmy ' s death in december .
a striking black - and - white hybrid of film noir and science fiction , alphaville ( 1965 ) is now one of the most enduringly popular of jean - luc godard ' s films of the 1960s . working without sets , special effects , or even a script , godard created a dystopian vision of a technocratic city of the future , which resonates with filmmakers today . alphaville pits secret agent lemmy caution ( eddie constantine ) against alpha 60 , the super - computer that presides over a city where weeping is outlawed , poetry goes unrecognised and the words ' conscience ' and ' love ' have ceased to exist . lemmy ' s mission is to capture the renegade scientist professor von braun ( howard vernon ) but is complicated when he falls in love with the professor ' s ravishing daughter , natasha ( anna karina ) . in this first ever exploration of godard ' s masterpiece , published on the fortieth anniversary of its release , chris darke uncovers the film ' s unique combination of genres and styles and draws on new interviews with the director ' s collaborators to chronicle the film ' s production .
i managed to see this at the local cinema last night , the riverview special late night showing , and it was a joy . it was a wonderful film and to watch it with a like minded audience enriched the experience . the film is well shot , well edited and has great access to a wide range of people from lemmy ' s past , and people who have been inspired by him . all the interviews seemed to give the same image of the man , which is one of the main points about him ; he lives the life he wants , accepting the consequences and living an authentic life . the film is surprisingly funny and moving , and although he lives a life very different to most people i think it is quite life affirming . the film has a fantastic cast , well interviewed , some good shots of his music ( but not so much that it would alienate people who are not into heavy rock ' n ' roll ) some careful editing to give coherence , judicious use of slow - mo and worthwhile clips after the titles . i was smiling for most of this movie , which i did not expect . this movie deserves the accolades heaped on it . it is an excellently made movie about a very interesting subject . i would love to see the team do another movie , or biographical movie , as their style here made what could have been a humdrum run through of one unusual lifestyle a wonderfully entertaining , informative and interesting film .
you do not have to enjoy motörhead to know that lemmy has an important place among heavy metal and its parent genre rock n’ roll . for being a forerunner to punk and metal , motörhead’s songs have , once you strip away the distortion , rock n’ roll tendencies . once you heard elvis , there was no going back as lemmy claims . lemmy’s style is more of a rhythm bassist which is why his bass lines are so hard driving that the guitars only add higher notes to the melodies .
the film is set in a world where god has saved the world from sin by taking from mankind the devil’s “grail of sin”… the evil guitar . the earth has now turned into a puritan world where there is no room for sex , drugs or rock ‘n’ roll .
for the most part , olliver and orshoski are smart enough to allow lemmy ' s unique personality to come to them , as opposed to pushing a case for it .
the film promises fans more access than ever before to kilmister ' s life , and includes interviews with past and present bandmates and such peers / admirers as slash , dave grohl , the clash ' s mick jones , alice cooper , steve vai and wrestling superstar triple h .
may 24 , 2000 | using a satiric blend of american detective noir and science fiction dystopia , jean - luc godards 1965 film alphaville : a strange adventure of lemmy caution predated films like blade runner ( 1982 ) by almost two decades . godard also reached back to fritz langs film metropolis ( 1927 ) and aldous huxleys novel brave new world ( 1935 ) to find sources of scientific / political allegories ( dixon 61 ) . finally , godard drew from the popular medium of comic strips to shape the films stark visual style ( roud 9 ) . but even with its mishmash of pop - art influences , alphaville retains a singular role in the canon of influential science fiction filmsit completely omits the use of the usual sci - fi devices , props , gadgets , and sets . with his innovative technique of filming already - existing objects in ways that make audiences see everyday things as if for the first time ( tv guide ) , his use of scientific jokes , and his low - tech characterization of lemmy caution , godard finds a fresh way to explore a hackneyed message . technology has the power to empower our most profound yearnings , but it all too often services our most shallow instincts .
most rock stars probably wouldn ' t appreciate a documentary that exploits their personality for laughs , but the great thing about lemmy is that he ' s in on the joke .
name ' lemmy ' while roadying for jimi hendrix and co when he hit london in 1967 ; it comes from the oft repeated saying ' len ' me a quid ' .
austin - - you don ' t have to be a metalhead to love
lemmy ,
an awestruck depiction of a rock god whose eccentricities and longevity make him one of the music industry ' s more fascinating characters . wes orshoski and greg olliver ' s film clearly is fan - made , but the testimonials they collect are wide - ranging enough , and their firsthand material entertaining enough , to convey the subject ' s appeal to audiences beyond the metal crowd .
in the second documentary on this list , lemmy is prominently featured as a voice on a band that very few people know much about despite being revered by the artists in the metal world . lemmy actually recruited their lead guitarist , lips , to join motorhead , but lips declined . this is a must watch for anyone who even dabbles in the metal world .
lemmy
features appearances by such high - profile kilmister friends / peers as metallica , dave grohl , ozzy osbourne , slash , billy bob thornton and pro wrestler triple h .
the ace of spades rockers disbanded following the death of ian
lemmy
kilmister on 28 december 2015 , but will celebrate their last string of gigs with an official music release .
the clip also features a live rock and roll band showing explosions and a crowd of people playing guitars , a possible harbinger of the event’s live component . the film’s website does not specify when the movie and live band concert pairing will tour , other than a general early 2016 release date .
this film is about lemmy , his unique and daring image and music . don ' t expect any in - depth bio or anything though . half of the documentary is filled with superficial ass - kissing and in my opinion way too much metallica . you don ' t get to hear lemmy ' s early works but there ' s still plenty of live music footage and chit chat . among the interviews , henry rollins had an interesting perspective and joan jett gave an apt if not eloquent summary of lemmy :
everybody assimilates .
you know , go along to get along , you know , to get what they need to get . . . i don ' t see lemmy as that kind of guy .
i see lemmy as doing things his way to get where he wants to go .
and that ' s attractive , because people don ' t do that anymore .
lemmy is constantly smoking and appears to be drinking a lot too . he ' s obviously a smoker but i wonder if the alcohol consumption is exaggerated at this late stage of the game for the coolness factor even though he says he
doesn ' t want to advertise
that . at one point , he takes a pill for diabetes but again , it ' s never addressed in a detailed , serious way . it is what it is . there ' s a bittersweet moment between his son which again , seems to go under the radar . it reminds me of john wayne ' s persona , his aloofness . in a bar , lemmy billy bob thorton talk indirectly about how much money he makes and how little lemmy makes in comparison . although lemmy probably works ten times as hard for his money , he doesn ' t ' sell out ' except for the metallica stuff but that ' s my own personal opinion . it ' s shocking to see that while lemmy is a bona fide collector , he is also hoarder . seriously , his tiny apartment is overflowing with objects collecting dust . there ' s something loyal about it even though he doesn ' t remember the name of someone who gave him something . it ' s obvious that there is sentimental and a social attachment to them all . in short , lemmy / motorhead fans will get a kick out of all the footage .
useful biographical material helps establish the singer ' s place in rock history , stretching back to his days as a hendrix roadie , and interviews ranging from ozzy osbourne to dave grohl flesh out the picture . but the film ' s most valuable footage is of lemmy himself - - shooting the breeze about the entertainment biz with billy bob thornton , discussing his love life with the son he didn ' t meet until the boy was 6 and test - driving a vintage german tank .
jean - luc godard ' s film –
a science fiction film without special effects
in the words of the critic andrew sarris ;
a fable on a realistic ground
in godard ' s own description – is a cry of protest aimed at the worshippers of science and logic . unlike stanley kubrick ' s 2001 : a space odyssey , which now resembles a picturesque relic of long - abandoned aspirations , alphaville still seems to be watching the world come to meet it . and the world is very much closer to the director ' s creation than it was back in 1965 .
“it is primarily a visual experience with very little dialogue , ” rollins said this summer . “and it is not a film that you will see in the traditional way of going into a movie theater and sitting down . you will be standing up for this very loud , fully immersive experience . ”

wow . grohl , sixx , duff , jett , metallica , rollins , anthrax , sunset strip . . . and of course , lemmy . all in one movie . holy rock .
everything that a rockumentary should be , the story of the highly colourful life and career of a man who has more right than most to claim the title of rock god , a piece that has been put together with obvious reverence , extensive background research and attention to detail . but this is more than just a parade of talking heads , although that important element is there , the film offers a snap - shot of the great man ' s life , delivering vignettes that nicely convey lemmy ' s influence on many of those who followed in his footsteps . the film offers much to entertain those who are not motorhead fans and for those not aware of lemmy ' s legacy . it is an excellent companion piece to his autobiography white line fever , which is to be recommended for those wanting more detail on the subject , but that is not to say that ' lemmy ' does not manage to pack in a good amount of detail itself in tracing the man ' s origins , nicely cut together with scenes that illustrate his ongoing contribution and relevance to the world of rock music at the age of 67 . much credit to directors greg olliver and wes orshoski .
in penelope spheeris’s exploration of the excess , gaudiness , and empty lives of the la metal scene , lemmy comes off as a wise cracking buddha . his age and wisdom are a stark contrast to the youth and brash stupidity of the fledging rockers in the scene . lemmy lives hard and yet has a good head on his shoulders to talk about it with insight and intelligence .
singerman , who managed motorhead from 1992 until the group disbanded after lemmy ' s death , said he believed the stoke - born rock star would be
extremely proud
of his statue .
the film i felt really captured the essence of who he is what he is about and how he go ' s about doing what he does . when you watch normal doc ' s the interviews feel stale and bland , but everyone in this film is almost worshiping at the altar of lemmy kilmister and as well they should . it follows a nice flow throughout and does a great job of covering his early career and life up to what he is doing now . a portrait of a every day man who just happens to be an extraordinary musician . if you don ' t know who he is you should watch this and get to know him a bit . the best part is that none of it get ' s cheesy and overly sentimental . it ' s just him and that ' s it .

the 2013 film ' run for your wife ' is an adaption of the 1980 ' s ray cooney stage farce of the same name . it is difficult to make a film of a stage farce , as there isn ' t the same urgency , timing and quick pace in a film as in a stage farce , also a long time in one scene setting can prove boring on film . run for your wife does start to get boring at times due to lengthy domestic scenes , but it does try to break the monotony with occasional outdoor or other indoor settings . there have been previous attempts to film ray cooney ' s work - ' not now darling ' and ' not now comrade ' , with partial success . does anyone agree that this dvd version of run for your wife has been edited from the film version ? i saw the film at the cinema earlier this year ( 2013 ) and remember an indoor scene in a pub starring wendy craig - not in the dvd version . i also remember geoffrey davies and geoffrey palmer in the film version - absent from the dvd version again . overall the film was enjoyable , bar the cheesy opening theme tune , the audience at the cinema enjoyed it although they were mainly old people , it was only a wednesday morning one off showing in rochdale . however the stage version i saw in 1995 was much better . that had an all star cast with robin askwith , britt ekland , ian lavender and windsor davies . i thought robin askwith would have been a better lead than danny dyer , but askwith is 63 now , he was great in the 1990 ' s stage version .

after the screening of ' run for your wife ' i came away with a big warm , old - fashioned glow in my shorts . the film probably won ' t be winning any awards for cooney this time around and is a remarkably quaint project at times that represents an era , some 30 years back , when poo jokes , random sexual clinches and falling off ladders / being hit on the head with a garden rake was all the rage .

' run for your wife ' is a comedy that ' s rooted in the ealing comedies of yesteryear . i don ' t think ray cooney was all that impressed when a member of the audience compared the film to being a reminder ( and a reminder that she loved ) of the carry on films of old . i think , even for cooney , that ' s taking things a bit too ' retro ' . in fact , the plot of ' run for your wife ' takes things , sometimes , into far darker waters . cooney says that :
we wanted to show that the lead character is a man in big trouble , he ' s a bigamist about to be found out , not an especially nice person

some scenes in ' run for your wife ' stand out ; especially a totally ott and gratuitously stereotyped sequence between old familiars christopher biggins ( as bobby ) and lionel blair ( as cyril ) - a couple of gay flatmates with double entendres aplenty in every other word . there ' s a quite disturbing sequence involving these two with cyril washing a dark red garment for a local customer ( who is described as being

cooney seems happy with the way the film has transferred to the big screen ; taking in more locations than the stage play allowed ( just a two room set ) . and then the big one - will there be a sequel , like the original play had a follow - up ? there ' s a picture of dyer ' s character john smith holding two babies at the end of the credits of ' run for your wife ' and the caption : ' john smith will return in caught in the net ' . cooney says he plans to film a sequel next summer or maybe the following april . bear in mind , by this point in the film ' s release , cooney is well aware of all the critical venom out there - i can ' t help but suddenly love this man even more for having the balls to not care ; to already be working on a follow - up . if that ' s not the most brilliantly british bulldog spirit in the face of adversity ever - i don ' t know what is !

' . because , when you think about it - many of the characters in great british farces would be pretty objectionable sorts to know in real life ( and we all know a few ! ) , they ' d : steal your wife , sleep with your daughter , get off with your boyfriend , spy on you undressing from an opposite bedroom window , borrow the money in a pot you ' ve been saving for christmas and then , for an encore - slap a blonde traffic warden on the bottom on the way home . ahh , the magic of farce !
