Matador Picks: The Best Ever Metal Documentary, Doves, Paul Rudd In A Planetary Costume and The World’s Dullest Travel Host?

Anvil! The Story Of Anvil

The buzz out of Sundance is that it might be the best Rock Doc ever made. We’re salivating. Do yourself a huge favor and watch the trailer. Anvil! The Story Of Anvil (note: band name twice, one exclamation point) opens on the 10th.

Sesame Street: Being Green DVD

Paul Rudd goes for an Emmy as Mr. Earth, a planet-shaped character who teaches Sesame Street the values of being Green. We are running to Borders as you read this.

Simon Reeve (Dull Travel Guy)

Who is this dude? The BBC2 travel host has dogged us on current trips, always on the screen in a hotel or airport. While somewhat gorgeous, Reeve is a fascinating study in just how boring one person can make the world appear to be. “Just around the corner is a lake.” Ohhhhhh. “This is just nature showing off.” Mmmmm. We’re not kidding. Watch him even take all of the fun out of weed.

Doves

This wildly talented and under-appreciated band from the UK release Kingdom Of Rust, their first album in four years. Known for rather spacey live shows, this album was recorded over 18 months in a “farmhouse-come-studio”. The CD/DVD version of the album features a documentary with live footage and a making-of.
