Rock N Roll movies session 3: Hail Caeser & Heavy Metal


Caesar is a would-be rock star. But for now, he works at a pencil eraser factory. Soon he falls in love with the owner's daughter. In order to get her, he bets with the old man that he can make a hundred thousand dollars in six months.



Pretty Dumb and inconsequential,  but fun.
 You get a band that plays "rock" that sounds like then current smooth rnb, Judd Nelson as a inmate, robert Downey Jr as an ad axec and Sam Jackson as a mailman

Harmless fun nominally rock and roll picture. 


Based on the sexy science fiction cult comic, "Heavy Metal" combines extraordinarily stunning visuals, new wave music and a series of mindbending stories in a unique motion picture experience. The anchor of the film is an eerie green ball that magically transports us into a series of adventures in the past, future, and into the world beyond. Included are stories of the space super heroine, Taarna; the hard-boiled exploits of Harry Canyon, cab driver of the future; and the adventures of "Den:' who the green ball changes from an introverted teen into a macho hero. This groundbreaking animation extravaganza also use the voices of John Candy, Harold Ramis, Eugene Levy and Joe Flaherty, as well as writers, directors, and artists from around the world.

Heavy metal is the stuff of hetero teen boys dreams, busty,  badass women almost always naked, hard rock soundtrack, rough around the edges animation,  a mix of horror, hardboiled detective story and sci-fi.  A movie that you can smell the potsmoke on
 Saw it at a revival screening years ago.
