If I Leave Here Tomorrow: A Film About Lynyrd Skynyrd (2018)
What Might Have Been - But I'll Take It
This was a good'un and a must see for any fan of Southern Rock or Rock-n-Roll in general. Despite less than five years of mainstream exposure (and just over two years of genuine promotion) Ronnie Van Zant, and the original Lynyrd Skynyrd lineup had Allman Brothers Band-like chemistry. Much like the ABB (Duane Allman), Skynyrd lost one way too early IRVZ).
"What might have been" might follow them more so than other Rock Band of the 20th Century, as losing Ronnie so soon, left a void in Metal/Swamp/Southern Rock that the band would never regain, despite continuing to tour, at present. A fantastic film!
Happy (2012)
Fantastic!
Warning: The spoiler is in the title. This is my first IMDb Review and I will keep it brief, as those before me did a great job summarizing the nuts and bolts of the Film. I am not a movie fanatic (by any stretch), however, if you knew me, you would KNOW that I would probably not publish a film review; much less, on a film titled, "Happy".
In my opinion, I am not "grumpy" but "Happy" really brought a smile to my face. Reason being, the film is 110% accurate; I cannot say that about much of anything these days but "pure", "fresh", and "authentic" (along with, the aforementioned, "accurate") ruminate in my head as brief descriptors. It is well worth the seventy-five (75) minute run time, guaranteed.
In closing, this film is not what I expected it to be (I rated it a 10 out of 10) but much, much more. For this I am grateful (and happy). Enjoy!
