"Rock films, or rock bands for that matter, were never looked at quite the same way after this film was released. Rob Reiner, er, Marty DiBergi gets the director credit, but somehow I feel the combined improvisational talent of Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer has an awful lot to do with the sublime content within. Yes, it’s funny, but it’s also as painful as any Bergman epic. Such is life."

With Shock and Awe on DVD and Digital HD today, we checked out the movie over the weekend, the new movie starring Woody Harrelson, Rob Reiner, James Marsden, Jessica Biel and Tommy Lee Jones is based around the time that the term ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction‘ was very much on the lips of many in 2003.

With America on the very edge of a horrific war with Iraq, Shock and Awe is the true story of how the very phrase was twisted with shocking effect.

"Sadly, this Criterion edition isn’t available anymore on DVD, but back in the nineties this was my quintessential laserdisc (along with the Criterion lasers for Boogie Nights and Taxi Driver). This was the only place you could get a commentary track by Rob Reiner as well as an alternate commentary track with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer out of character. It also contained the original twenty-minute demo reel Spinal Tap: The Final Tour and the band’s first performance on TV five years before making the film. Thank God I still have my laserdisc player!"
