FM (1978)
The Un-Official True Story of LA Radio Station KMET-FM's Demise
If you lived in Los Angeles during the 60's and 70's, you'll definitely understand and relate to this wonderful "un-official" send-up of what happened to shut down real rock 'n roll at radio station KMET-FM, the last surviving "underground" FM radio station of the 70's.
Conglomerate KLOS-FM and independent KMET-FM were in a ratings and cultural battle that pushed the envelope of radio decency and the right to free speech unlike no other.
The radio personalities: B. Mitchell Reid, Mary "Mounds" Turner, etc.
Situations like "Champagne PayDays" where the DJ's would drink while spinning records, as well as "suspected" pot-smoking while on-the-air, along with playing as few commercials as possible, helped to bring down the station at the middle of the seventies. If you were there and want to reminisce, or, if you wanna see what it was like during a time when 'the people' REALLY controlled the airwaves, FM is the movie for you.
Plus... you can't beat the music and the performances by artists and stars of the era.
IF YOU LIKE ROCK 'N ROLL and YOU BELIEVE THAT IT WILL LIVE ON FOREVER, then, "FM" IS THE MOVIE FOR YOU!

Girl (1998)
Dominique Swain stands way out above all others in this one!
What an extremely well-acted, realistic, coming-of-age-grunge movie! Dominique Swain has definitely shown herself to be quite a unique talent. First LOLITA, and now GIRL. This is a definite MUST-SEE by males and females alike.
