This movie was really kind of kept off the radar it seems as I don't recall it being heavily advertised and I'm not even sure it was in the theaters?? I could be wrong. Fantastic performance by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones guy for those that don't know).

Prison movies can get old IMO but this is so much more than just a prison movie considering the story/theme. Plus the portions of the movie that do take place while he is locked are done very well and are extremely accurate. They really did their homework getting the details right and factually accurate. Supporting actors were great as well.

Great flick.

Is that observation based on professional or personal experience?

Purely professional, thankfully.

Last Days Here…a history of Bobby Liebling of the band Pentagram. If you love Sabbath and don't know these guys, you better know. If history played out differently it's them that would be forever labelled as the inventors of heavy metal.

Liebling is an f#!&ing loon too...Ozzy who?

Watched 'I Tonya' last night.

Liked it and it comes with a good soundtrack too.

@Stuart.T If I’m not mistaken, it was Blue Oyster Cult that first used the term heavy metal to describe their music. Their symbol is the symbol for the planet Pluto,which is the planet of Heavy Metal.

Just to muddy the waters a little more, the term was apparently first used in a newspaper review of a concert by The Doors. Something along the lines of «Listening to The Doors is like having a ton of heavy metal land on your head».

Steppenwolf…heavy metal thunder...quite a few bands 'referenced' the term heavy metal, but usually as a metaphor for motorcycles...as far as the sound of the music, guitar tunings, lyrical themes, iconography and image, Pentagram were there...they took Blue Cheer and added evil.

Wow Talk about bringing back memories. I loved Blue Cheer back in the day. Saw them twice. Loudest band ever.
