I saw Dio:Dreamers Never Die, starring Ronnie James Dio-Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny.
This is a Fan_Tastic biography of Ronald James Padavona, aka Ronnie James Dio, aka Dio. This is authorized by the artist's estate and has lots of footage and pictures from his beginnings to his death at 67 of stomach cancer in 2010, just 2 months short of his 68th birthday. There are also lots of fellow artists telling stories of their interactions with Ronnie, and some stories from his wife, Wendy. Ronnie was one of the few artists to record and tour in 6 decades, starting with Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and then the band just called Dio. I am a big Dio fan and I knew most of the stories but there were some I didn't. You learn what was his first instrument he played-it's probably not what you think-and how he became a singer and got his name Dio. You learn how he came up with his famous horn gesture, which most people think is a devil sign-it's not-and covers how he got 40 heavy metal artists together for Hear 'N Aid, his version of We Are the World for starving people in Africa. If you are a fan, you should enjoy this movie.
There was about 15 minutes of extra footage after the end credits which had more people talking about him and some music, too. It said it was for theaters only.
It didn't have a rating but it had some language and a running time of 2 hours & 7 minutes.
I really enjoyed it and would buy it on Blu_Ray.
