All Dolled Up2005
A New York Dolls Story
What makes this film worth watching?
"...with their demise in 1975, the New York Dolls' reputation slowly grew. . . ALL DOLLED UP goes a long way toward explaining the continuing fascination with the band and the hold they still exert on so many imaginations." - Jo-Ann Greene, AllMusic

Sex, Drugs, Rock n Roll...and Videotape! Here are the New York Dolls--one of the true, unsung superheroes of Rock & Roll--in a grainy, distorted chronicle that takes them on a loud, rowdy adventure thought a ghost-grey landscape of worn-out Americana..from the decayed urban nightmare of New York City to the sleazy sunshine of Hollywood. This raw, gritty videotape footage captures the streetwise cartoon energy of the Dolls at their zenith (their studio recordings never quite bottled the lighting they blasted out in their legendary live shows): five crazy dudes who were part Bowery Boys, part Phil Spector Girl Group, all sass and attitude. Arthur "Killer" Kane, Billy Murcia, Jerry Nolan and Johnny Thunders--all long gone, but never to be forgotten. Let it rock!
Boring
