Set your DVR now! As the resident documentary “hater” around here, you should take note when I tell you that one of the top five films that I’ve seen in the past 12 months is easily Sacha Gervasi’s documentary, Anvil! The Story of Anvil (our review). It’s one of the most heartwarming stories of persistence and determination through failure that I’ve ever seen; but also ass-kicking at the same time. It’s the kind of movie that makes you want to stand up and cheer during the closing credits. Sort of This is Spinal Tap meets American Movie if you will. “Family. It’s important shit man.”
So as I said, set your DVRs because the television broadcast premiere of Anvil! The Story of Anvil airs tomorrow night (Saturday, October 3rd) at 10pm eastern on VH1 and VH1 Classic. If you’re a music fan (or even if you’re not), you’ll be doing yourself a huge favor by watching this movie this weekend.

PS – the band is also scheduled to play on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” on Tuesday.

If I had VH1, I’d be taping it. That said, when does this thing come out on DVD? It’s one I’ve got to have.
I’m pretty sure it comes out on DVD on Tuesday actually.
Indeed it does, I will be picking up my pre-ordered copy to slip into my signed DVD cover
