Pump Up The Volume

Well after many attempts in catching this movie I finally saw it!! You can find it at supernovatube.com. That's where I caught it. 

Well I do have to say it wasn't what I expected. I was looking forward to another radio comedy like Air Heads(great film) but it was even better. It was a kick-ass deep film disguised as a teenagers revenge. Lots of naughty themes, teenagers swearing and plenty of dialogue spreading the message that adults suck.  Hit the screens right on 1990. The year, the void between the 80's and 90's where anything sucked and everything was evolving.

Starring Christian Slater as Harry Hard-On with a kick-ass soundtrack happening. You've got the Pixies, Sonic Youth, The Descendants and heaps of other great artists to remember I gotta say I really loved this film. It kept rolling on without getting me bored, had some serious moments but pulled right back before anyone started getting blubbery and Christian Slater does a pretty awesome job himself.

I don't want to say anymore because this is one of the few films I don't want to give away the ending to. But I'll just say this, the ending left me disgruntled about it afterwards. You can decide for yourself what you think so I'm giving 9 out of 10.
Yes you heard me 9 out of 10.

A great cult film for angry teens who couldn't be stuffed to do anything about everything but still like to rage on in their own lazy ways about anything. 
Definitely gotta' watch this one.
