Just perfect...

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I've watched this movie last night on cable and got very excited with the first story where 2 rockers crash their car and seek for help in a Disco. The second story is also very good (the one with the hitchhiker). Unfortunately, the other 2 stories are lame. The concept of this rock and roll twilight zone movie is great, but only the 2 first stories make it worth seeing.

I basically really liked Strange Frequency, except for one part: the final story, "More Than a Feeling". Although Judd Nelson does really well in this segment, I found the story to be simply too disturbing for me. Also, since the other three stories were obviously intended to be funny, why couldn't they have done the same for this one? However, the other three segments are all thoroughly enjoyable. The first story, "Disco Inferno", was OK, and I thought it was funny to see that guy turn into a disco dancer(I'm not naming anyone, for fear of this being considered a spoiler). The second story, "My Generation", was quite good. Eric Roberts and Chris Masterson do a great job in creating these two interesting, entertaining characters, and I couldn't help laughing when they were discussing which of them should kill certain people, and with what weapon.My favorite story, however, was the third one, "Room Service". John Taylor makes an excellent rock star degenerate/ hotel trasher, and I also really liked the calm, prissy maid, although I fail to see how she could put up with guests like him. My two favorite scenes in this segment were when the maid is telling the reporter about all of the musical legends that stayed at that hotel( I loved how she referred to all of them as Mr., such as Mr. Presley, Mr. Jagger,etc.) and the immensely funny scene in which Jimmy was involved in that little feud with the maid. I couldn't stop laughing as I watched the maid calmly repair all the almost irreparable damages Jimmy did to the hotel room. All in all, this was a pretty good movie.

Okay, so I watched it because the Masterson brothers are too cute for words and Eric Roberts is always a believable psycho (deliciously so) but I actually liked it!Not entirely original (some of the stories were quite predictable) but fun nonetheless. The last story with Judd Nelson was definitely the best...and that ending actually made my jaw drop!Might have been a bit edgier (and less predictable) if done by another channel (ahem, not necessarily MTV) and the reference to "Behind the Music" was pretty shameless, but overall an entertaining way to spend 90 minutes. Would probably make a good weekly series if they could push the envelope a bit more.As a fan of "The Twilight Zone" I was impressed with how they put a rock and roll spin on some "classic" spooky stories and intriguing ideas about human nature and the supernatural.

I was pleasantly surprised by this little anthology film. It's not half-bad. A little bit Twilight Zone, a little bit Urban Legends, a little bit...well, VH1. It takes a lot of legends and conventions about rock starts, the music business, and the effect of music on our lives and does some pretty cool things with it. But as is the case with most anthology films, not all are created equal. There's one story that's very good, a couple of cute ones, and one bad one. But even the bad one isn't THAT bad. The first story, "Disco Inferno" is that one. It's not so much bad as it is very predictable. A couple of stoners who don't have much going for them except that they're rabid rock fans get into an accident driving home from a concert, and find themselves at a mysterious club where disco lives all night long. I'm probably spoiling the ending, but it's pretty obvious that they've died and gone to hell...and for them, hell is disco. I can relate. The best thing about this tale is that it features Danny Masterson putting a spin on his "That 70's Show" character. The second tale, "My Generation" is weird and darkly funny. It's about two music-loving, philosophically-minded serial killers who meet up and square off in the Pacific Northwest. If you can get over Eric Roberts as the psychotic Deadhead, you're in for a rather humorous satirical statement on music of this generation and the one before, how they compare and, perhaps, how the statement of the music of the 60's was lost on both generations involved. The third, "Room Service," is pretty straightforward. The story of the constantly-escalating battle of wills between an excess-loving, hotel-room trashing rock star (Geez, they still do that?), and the ultra-efficient housekeeping matron who manages to clean up all his messes with superhuman skill. It's fun to watch because it's so contrived, so based on legend that the tale seems familiar (and check it out, the guy from Duran Duran! An actual excess-loving rock star playing himself!). Not great, but fun. The final tale, "More than a Feeling" is the darkest and the best. It's the story of a recording company exec with a conscience (and no, that's not the fantasy part), who has a talent for picking the next rising star. Unfortunately, every one of his charges rises fast and crashes and burns even faster. This leaves him with guilt beyond all measure, and leaves him ultra-protective of his latest - and last surviving - artist, a young and talented female vocalist played with big-eyed innocence by Marla Sokoloff. I was a little thrown by this one, it being so dark and having Judd Nelson playing a character that wasn't a total sleaze, but in the end I was impressed - especially by the ultra-chilling final scene. Not a mast
