damn the man

Rating: 9/10 (28 September 1998)

Empire Records is very 80's but for the 90's. Great cast, great script, well directed and entertaining. Not to be taken seriously but to be enjoyed. It gives hope to me in a strange way that even though everything around you sucks that you have the power to change it...all it takes is fate. The reason that this movie is so great is that its characters are all of us,(very reminiscent of Breakfast Club) you have to identify with at least one if not all of the characters in some asspect. Also superb soundtrack. Damn the man save the empire!!!!
