#Rock of ages movie mashup for free

Of the large ensemble cast, only Cruise really gets into the swing of things, playing his incredibly debauched, dissolute, and disconnected fallen rock god to the hilt.

(Whoever decided to combine Twisted Sister with Starship deserves a smack.) Sadly, what little credibility Rock of Ages builds up is squandered by the “We’re Not Gonna Take It/We Built This City” mash-up. Baldwin and Brand’s take on REO Speedwagon’s “Can’t Fight This Feeling” is mildly amusing, and Cruise and Malin Ackerman (as a smitten Rolling Stonereporter) deliver a suitably raunchy duet of “I Wanna Know What Love Is” perks things up considerably, but the movie immediately deflates afterwards. In fact, so much of Rock of Ages feels programmed and familiar that there is very little in the way of surprises. It certainly doesn’t help that the movie’s central duo, Hough and Boneta, are completely bland and vocally anemic, or that their characters’ rote boy-meets-girl, boy-looses-girl romance is dull and predictable. She meets and falls for Drew (Diego Boneta), an aspiring rocker who gets her a job at the legendary rock club The Bourbon Room, run by aging promoter Denis Dupree (Alec Baldwin) and his assistant Lonny (Russell Brand). The plot is entirely formulaic: all-American girl Sherrie Christian (Julianne Hough) gets off a Greyhound bus in West Hollywood, having escaped Oklahoma in search of a singing career. It’s a two-hour anthology of about two dozen 1980s glam rock hits grafted onto a thin, formulaic plot, and despite its fist-pumping attempts to worship at the altar of Rock, the energy just isn’t there. The concept - a jukebox musical about rock stars on their respective trajectories up and down the fame ladder in Hollywood circa 1987 - is the sort of thing that works on Broadway but flops on film. As Journey so eloquently put it in that song: the movie never ends, it goes on and on and on and on. But their romance and their musical aspirations are threatened by trying to stay true to their musical visions, changing musical tastes, and by Stacee himself.Sitting through Rock of Ages is akin to being trapped at karaoke night at the local dive, where you’re pummeled by ill-advised renditions of ’80s hair metal and can’t make it through the evening without some jackass breaking into “Don’t Stop Believin'”. As Drew and Sherrie's romance blossoms, other romances around them blossom as well. But Patricia is hiding a secret from her past as to the reason for her extreme fervor in getting rid of the Bourbon. His Christian fundamentalist wife Patricia Whitmore is leading the on the ground campaign in this area, she who is determined to shut down the Bourbon. Another problem for the Bourbon is that Mayor Mike Whitmore is taking a tough stance on what he sees as bad societal influences like rock music.

Rumors are that Stacee is leaving Arsenal after their next gig to go solo, Rolling Stones reporter Constance Sack who wants to get the true story as to the reason.

Dennis and Lonny, who are having financial difficulties, are able to convince rock star Stacee Jaxx, the perpetually stoned front man for the band Arsenal who got his first break performing at the Bourbon, to perform for free at a benefit concert at the club. Despite Dennis Dupree, the Bourbon's owner/manager, not liking to hire people like Drew or Sherrie - someone who has musical aspirations - as service staff, Drew is able to convince Dennis and his assistant Lonny to hire Sherrie as a server, Drew and Sherrie who have a blossoming mutual attraction. The two meet as Drew helps Sherrie with a situation when she first arrives in town. She is just like Drew Boley was when he first arrived in Hollywood, he, now the Hollywood veteran, who works as a bar back at the Bourbon Club, known as the center of the rock scene in town and the place where many of the biggest acts in rock got their big break. Naive Sherrie Christian has just arrived in Hollywood from Tulsa looking to become a rock star.
