Spinal Tap
The Campsite Entertainment for Download 2009 has just been revved up with the news that an indoor cinema screen will be hosting two of the hottest rock films ever made! Download is proud to announce that a pre DVD release screening of Anvil! The Story Of Anvil will be shown over the weekend plus a showing of the all time classic ‘rockumentary’ This Is Spinal Tap.
Anvil! The Story Of Anvil is an immensely entertaining one-of-a-kind documentary, directed by Sacha Gervasi (Writer – The Terminal), a former roadie with the band back in the heady days of the 1980’s. Re-visiting lifelong friends Lips and Robb, Sacha joins them 30 years later as Anvil attempt to make it big one last time. The DVD and Blu-Ray is released on the 15th June 2009, from indi VISION, a label within Universal Pictures (UK).
This Is Spinal Tapis considered the ultimate in ‘rockumentaries’. The band are about to embark on their biggest world tour to date. Along for the ride is film-maker and fan Marti Di Bergi (Rob Reiner), there to make a behind-the-scenes tribute to his favourite heavy metal band.
However instead of a celebrating the genius of the musicians behind such classics as “Big Bottom” and “Hell Hole”, the documentary captures the cracks as they begin to appear for this band whose time has come… and now appears to have gone again.
