Prey for Rock and Roll
Prey for Rock and Roll ★★★ 2003 (R)
Jacki (Gershon) is a punk rocker who heads the allgirl band Clam Dandy in the L.A. club scene. She's been trying to make it big for the past twenty years, and, fast approaching 40, wonders if it's time to call it quits. While the movie has heart and an authentic rock and roll attitude, it falls on some conventional tactics. That doesn't undermine the raw performance of Gershon, who coproduced the film, and sang her own songs, but it does have a buzzkilling effect on the rest of the proceedings. Adapted from the autobiographical play by Cheri Lovedog. 104m/C VHS, DVD . US Gina Gershon, Drea De Matteo, Lori Petty, Shelly Cole, Marc Blucas, Ivan Martin; D: Alex Steyermark; W: Cheri Lovedog, Robin Whitehouse; C: Antonio Calvache.
