Zack the 10 year old guitar prodigy steals the show

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2004)

In School of Rock Zack the 10 year old guitar prodigy steals the show. Joan Cusack shines as Rosalie Mullins. Cusack comes across as being lovably neurotic. Jack Black gets some unintentional laughs for his choice of albums to review. Yes and Rush are the mammoth like survivors of the 70s progressive rock era. Bands that kept their youthful exuberance come to mind like Van Halen or David Lee Roth as more appropriate choices to listen to. I had a teacher once who was posing as something more than he was. Warrant Mercer wanted to have a Reconaissance Course with the Irish Regiment of Canada but he didn't have enough instructors. So he started the course anyway and then cancelled it on the second day. The RECON training I got was wonderful and plus I got paid for the days I worked. I learned from the RECON course and my Military Intelligence Course that the Russians and Chinese are land hungry and will attack America in one big Airborne assault just like in the movie Red Dawn. WHEN the attack comes all Americans have a Choice to make about whether they keep a low profile or Join in the Resistance to the Occupation by Russia and China. As an outspoken critic of the Russian and Chinese expansionist militaries I would try to get refugee status in America and then help America legally as much as I could. Just ask the Dalai Lama of Tibet how much compassion the Army of the Peoples Republic of China had when they invaded and occupied Tibet. The answer is no compassion was shown by the Chinese. I think that Director Richard Linklater did a great job keeping the band the SCHOOL OF ROCK visible in low lighting scenes. School of Rock is a believable band by the end of the movie. I gave school of rock a 9 out of 10.
