Hard Core Logo is often compared to This Is Spinal Tap--and for marketing purposes, that makes sense: both are pretend documentaries about rock bands (a self-important heavy metal crew in Spinal Tap, a self-destructing punk mob in Hard Core Logo). But though Hard Core Logo can be cuttingly funny, it's not really a comedy; it's a piercing examination of friendship and betrayal, success and self-hatred, and everything that fueled punk rock. Lead singer Joe Dick (Hugh Dillon) uses false pretenses to convince guitarist Billy Tallent (Callum Keith Rennie) to reform Hard Core Logo for a reunion tour across Canada, followed by a film crew (featuring director Bruce McDonald, whose other films include Roadkill and Highway 61, as himself). Tallent agrees, but only because he expects to be joining a much more successful rock group very shortly and sees this as a favor to Dick. As they travel from town to town, their relationship unravels, as does the psyche of bass player John Oxenberger (John Pyper-Ferguson). The performances are astonishingly genuine; even the oafish drummer Pipefitter (Bernie Coulson) becomes three-dimensional. By the end, you'll believe in them so much as people that the band's disintegration is truly wrenching. A remarkable film, both comic and sad. --Bret Fetzer

Misleading Picture, Aug 3 2011
By BekahLeigh - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hard Core Logo (DVD)
As a huge fan of this movie, I ordered this DVD assuming that it was a 2 disc deluxe edition, as the featured pictures would lead one to believe. However the copy that I received from MovieMars was a basic 1 disc copy in a regular case. Seeing as I already own that particular version, I basically wasted 20 bucks. I'm not sure if any of the other sellers have the 2 disc version, but I was very disappointed with what I received from MovieMars. As for the movie itself, its freaking fantastic in any packaging and I highly recommend it!
