... View MoreAs a huge Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor fan, I was going to see this movie at some point in time, and after seeing it, I thought it was pretty good. Joat Jett gives a pretty awesome performance throughout, and Michael J. Fox is solid but seems a little meek for this kind of role, to me. Michael McKean was a nice surprise in the band as well (for fans of Spinal Tap and his work on Christopher Guest's movies).This movie is all about the ambition of their "bar band" and trying to make your dreams happen, but there's not a lot to say about the plot of the movie. It's typical "my children don't believe in Jesus and are horrible to me" drama with an added twist that doesn't really make you sway one way or the other towards any of the characters. If you're a music fan, you'll appreciate the tale of how bands try and make their dream happen, but otherwise, it's kind of long for such a simple story and lacks the intrigue to keep watching after a certain point.
... View MoreIf you're looking for an Academy Award caliber screenplay or performances - keep looking. If you're looking for an imaginative or tightly wrenched plot line - keep on looking. But if you're looking for a relatively simple, mildly thought provoking and even a bit touching family/coming-of-age melodrama - "Light of Day" may possibly be up to the task. During this primetime part of his career, pretty much anything that Michael J. Fox did was worth a look. Couple this with the facts that the legendary Gena Rowland turned in a credible performance, and rocker Joan Jett was surprisingly solid, "Light of Day" can be decently entertaining to those folks who are home during the day; those airlines looking for inexpensive in-flight movies or guys like me, who learned of the bar scene, by cutting their teeth in so many of Cleveland's eighties-era, head bangin' watering holes... 5.5 Stars
... View MoreI'm a huge Nine Inch Nails fan. Nice movie.. but the real thing that I took notice to is the music by Exotic Birds. This is one of the bands Trent Reznor used to play in. Way before he ever started []\[] [] []/[]Trent is a master keyboardist. It wouldn't suprise me to see him scoring a movie. Oh wait.... NBK.. heh, kinda forgot.-BlazeFoxKitsune =^.^=
... View MoreAlthough the movie may be disappointing, the soundtrack sure is not! It contains unique songs of Joan Jett, like the titletrack or the heavy rocker 'Rabbit's got the gun'. Even Michael J feels like singing a song (but if that was such a great idea...) Anyway, for all that like Joan as a musician the soundtrack is a must-have.
