New Release Tuesday: Not Fade Away

Not Fade Away IMDb
Pretty okay movie about a fictional 60's rock band that never made it.  I like this period of time in music history.  A lot of Beatles, Rolling Stones, and etc.  The soundtrack was my favorite part.  The story was going alright at first but in the second half it lost its touch.  I didn't like the ending.  Too artsy for me.  It was promising.  Rock and roll is rebellion and an art form.  Nothing new about that.  It was just interesting to check out a movie that was more real.  A lot of bands out there don't make it to the big time.  Most movies are about bands that make it or bands that were known for something.  So, the idea for this movie was good.  Some of the characters were good like the crazy sister.  Overall, as a whole, it didn't fully deliver.  Just good for a soundtrack movie.
