Filmmaker Michael Gramaglia's years-in-the-making biography of the legendary punk band the Ramones entitled End of the Century traces nearly all the various and sundry peaks and valleys which the seminal rockers experienced over the course of its 20-plus year career before disbanding in 1995. Beginning with the band's first concert performances in the mid-'70s, Gramaglia explores the eccentric and highly volatile band members -- in all the various line-ups that were presented over the years -- as the Ramones slowly gained fame for their high energy and high-tempo style of music that would later influence generations of punk rockers around the world. Mixing archival interviews with new interviews of the various surviving bandmembers, as well as interviews with a number of the Ramones' contemporaries, End of the Century encapsulates the East Coast underground music atmosphere of the 1970s and '80s that the band inadvertently shocked into existence. ~ Ryan Shriver, Rovi

New York City has long had a reputation as a city willing to embrace anyone and anything, regardless of eccentricity, and this documentary pays tribute to a handful of rock musicians, drag performers, and performance artists who have helped to make the Big Apple's underground entertainment scene among the liveliest in the world. Freaks, Glam Gods and Rockstars...The NYC Story features interviews and performance footage from transsexual rock pioneer Jayne County, drag queen and Wigstock founder the Lady Bunny, Kembra Pfaler from the theatrical rock band the Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, members of the all-female thrash-punk group the Lunachicks, and many other Manhattan-based performers, who offer both a perspective on New York's past and their gripes with the city's present (most notably the elimination of rent control and Rudy Giuliani's efforts to clean up the city and make it harder for night clubs to operate). Village Voice columnist Michael Musto also offers his perspective on New York's entertainment underbelly. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
