![]() There is an exterior shot of an adult theater with a big XXX on the marquee two characters walk through the theater and we see a quick glimpse of a man in leather pants dancing suggestively in front of a woman. A woman shows her panty strap to a man in order to get a backstage pass, a woman wears a top that shows the outline of her nipples, a man stuffs a cup in his pants, and two women lie in bikini bottoms and expose their bare breasts when they role over. A woman climbs on a man's lap and they kiss passionately. A bare-chested man and a woman in a robe sit in a candlelit room she rubs an ice cube on his nipple (we see several close-ups of his nipple) and they kiss passionately a few times. We see a woman in bed with a man and woman - one woman is bare to the waist the other climbs out wrapping herself in a sheet and we see her bare back and shoulders. A woman exposes her bare breasts as a car drives by, rubbing them on the window (we see this from the inside of the car). We see many men and women in various states of undress in a room the morning after a concert (the suggestion is that there has been group sex) many of the women are topless and we see men with bare buttocks (one stands up and pulls up his underwear). A man takes a vial of liquid (presumably an alcoholic beverage) out of a woman's cleavage using his mouth. But what goes up must come down, and Izzy has some totally predictable lessons to learn about life as a rock star, especially when it comes to maintaining his relationship with his girlfriend Emily ( Jenifer Aniston).SEX/NUDITY 8 - Men and women dance at a night club, with couples kissing sensually, some with exposed tongues (men and women, women and women), dancing close in groups of three (a woman sandwiched between a man and woman and a man sandwiched between two women), and touching each other. He has plenty of fun with Dominic West in full British rocker mode, and Timothy Spall being just the right amount of sleazy. There's all the sex, drugs and rock and roll he could want, and Chris, now going by the name Izzy, even buys his own Batmobile (from the 1966 show). From there, it's a fast roller coaster ride that climbs the ultimate dreams of fame and fortune for a 1980s wannabe rocker. So the band, which includes Timothy Olyphant in leather pants and a horrible wig, kicks Chris out.īut thankfully, some groupies were recording one of Blood Pollution's concerts, and Steel Dragon just happens to track him down as a candidate to replace their heir lead singer, Bobby Beers ( Jason Flemyng), who isn't quite the metal god that Chris thought he was. But the band isn't nearly as into meticulously recreating the songs and showmanship of Steel Dragon as Chris, and they'd rather play their own original songs. That includes fronting a cover band called Blood Pollution, inspired by one of the band's signature songs. Mark Wahlberg plays Chris "Izzy" Cole, a copy machine repairman who has dedicated all of his spare time to worshiping the metal band Steel Dragon. ![]() The movie is all the better for it, because it allows for all the gloriously goofy clichés you'd expect from a movie like this. Though it's inspired by the real-life story of Tim "Ripper" Owens, a singer in a Judas Priest tribute band who was chosen to replace singer Rob Halford when he left the band, this is a totally fictionalized journey into the world of rock. ![]() Who wouldn't want to see Mark Wahlberg belting out cheesy metal in a leather suit with flames all over it? Why It's Essential Viewing: Look, I'm not going to pretend that Rock Star is essential viewing, but it's a pretty fun way to pass the time if you want a mindless music biz movie with a hell of a soundtrack, including both familiar 1980s rock hits and some catchy but cheesy metal songs by the fictional band Steel Dragon. ![]() The Boogie Nights star treads familiar territory in this story of a copy machine repairman who goes from moonlighting as the lead singer of a heavy metal cover band to the new frontman of the very band that he pays tribute to every week. (Welcome to The Quarantine Stream, a new series where the /Film team shares what they've been watching while social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.)
