there are a bunch of great and awful rock documentaries you can find, but not one caught me that much as the Fuzzomentary. Forget these strange polished documentaries, that suggest to tell the truth about rock and roll and the realness of making music.. this one's telling it the right way and it doesn't necessarily need to avoid a high quality artistic approach as you can see right here. reality is what you make out of it, and the reality of being a touring band was never told that beautiful and entertaining before. if truckfighters would be a fake band like spinal tab, this would be the coolest mockumentary ever. a brilliant film for everyone who's into rock music in general!
... View MoreThey don't write stuff like this anymore. Truckfighters (the fuzzomentary) it may be the best documentary I've seen in 2011. It's not only for stoner fans (though it may enhance the viewing experience), but to any one who likes to see a good piece of video+story+music all together. It's a good accompaniment to "Such Hawks Such Hounds", and also it's a good way to wait for "Lo Sound Desert". No more to say about it, just view it, listen to it, and enjoy it. Quoting Rockaxis.cl "The documentary shows the band's history from birth to the recording sessions and subsequent promotion of the excellent "Mania" (2009)..." "With a humorous appeal, the record also shows the highest points in the history of the band, as his recent first tour of North America, the tour with Fu Manchu and a growing recognition from critics and the public."No more to say about it, you just view it, listen to it, and enjoy it.
... View MoreI bought this film for my husband as a surprise. And a surprise it was. This film is really great. Everybody who loves stoner-rock must see this film. Truckfighters are influenced by many other very good bands (qotsa, kyuss, fu manchu...), but they still do their own style and have much fun doing it. The music is hard, honest and unbelievably good. You can't watch without moving, the sound is awesome.I have never seen an independent film before and I already regret that I haven't. This is a low-budget-production, but made with love and passion. What is there more to say? Just buy the film, support that band and that filmmakers. It is worth it.
... View MoreTo be honest, I am not a fan of this band, actually I didn't know them before, probably because I don't even know that much about this genre of music. Still, I started watching this film expecting something good because I had seen before some previous works of Joerg Steineck which are actually pretty good, but this movie exceeded my expectations. I just loved the way the story was told, a funny way that keeps your attention from the beginning to the end, because mixed with creative images and of course good music, it shows in an honest way, the day by day of three normal guys, that within a normal life (jobs, kids, etc.), try to make their dream of playing their music, a reality. Great movie!, made me laugh and kind of love these guys at the end.
