Straight to HELL

One of the movies that shaped my ideas and musical taste was Alex Cox's REPO MAN. I unspooled the vhs quite a few times and lost or borrowed out my cassette of the soundtrack many times. When STRAIGHT TO HELL came out I bought a number of copies of the cassette soundtrack, but I never rented the movie. Until now.

What can I say about a movie with Joe Strummer and Evis Costello and the Pouges in it? Or Courtney Love dying in a firey wreck? Ok, I'll be honest, it's a really uneven film. When it's good, it's fun. When it's not so good, it's really not so good.

Ok, the truth is it's a disjointed mess of a movie, but the soundtrack is worth a listen...
