 Rating:  - End of the Century - The Story of the Ramones - Great Topic, OK DeliveryAmong music documententaries, End of the Century - The Story of the Ramones fits squarely in the middle. On the one hand, for any fan of the Ramones it's hard to criticize it. On the other hand, the *VH1* treatment of the band seems like a *one size fits all* type of approach that could have been greatly improved upon. It's still very good, but the Ramones deserved a documentary that was great. Like most rockumentary fare, the vast majority of this one is made up of cut and paste ... Read More Rating:  - A bit unfair, I think......to Johnny, who was portrayed as the Bob Knight of the Ramones. Sure he was a bit heavy handed, but gee, to keep those nimrods together for as long as he did must have been quite the task. When it was time to retire, I'm sure he was more than ready. Still, it was a shame that he and Joey weren't men enough to patch up their differences before they both passed away. As a drummer, I enjoyed the Marc Bell feature on what it took to play Ramones music. Simplistic as it may ...

In Brazil, they played soccer stadiums; in the US, they played clubs and small theaters. The "End of the Century" is a story of a band-their lives, their loves, and their ultimate heartbreak. Any music should sit down and but the DVD. Rating: - If only it had been called Teenage NewsJust how different would things have been for The Ramones without the burden of semantics and association? Alas, that's the way it happened and this is the main point of this documentary. It's an autopsy-like examination of why this band who should have had it all ended up like it did. From their own estimation, that wasn't a good place. What separates The Ramones from almost every other band is that in these circumstances most others would have either drastically changed their approach or broken up ... Read More Rating: - Earnest but UnappealingThese guys deserved a decent documentary about the arc of their career, particularly Johnny (who somehow kept everyone together for 20 years) but the overall take is, actually, rather depressing. Sure, these guys got into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame but, by the looks of it, were fairly miserable, angry and resentful every step of the way. Dee Dee's on and off the horse; Joey is depressed, shy and jealous; Johnny's constantly trying to keep a lid on the powder keg of their collective egos, runs the ... Read More |
