Anvil! The Story of Anvil, the documentary about Canadian thrashers that almost made it and are still trying, opens tonight in select cities. Reports are that the film is like a cross between The Wrestler and This Is Spinal Tap, and that it's fantastic.

Of course, the rave reviews for the film and the fact that it's poised to be a breakout hit is the real ending of the documentary. Already the band is scheduled to play huge festivals this summer, like Glastonbury and the Download Festival, which will see them playing to crowds as big as they did in their heyday. Just from watching the clips of them playing to ten people, I can't help but be glad for them.
