Re: Documentaries
I saw New York Doll on cable a couple of weeks ago, and would recommend it. It's about New York Dolls bassist Arthur "Killer" Kane, his struggle with drugs and alcohol, and his conversion to Mormonism.
Whenever a movie combines punk rock and Mormonism, hilarity is sure to ensure, and this one doesn't disappoint. The climax of the movie is a Dolls reunion concern (featuring David Johansen, aka Buster Poindexter) where Kane wears a glammed-out costume supposedly inspired by Joseph Smith.
For all the laughs, though, the movie is pretty inspiring, and the ending is both unexpected and touching.
