DIO - Dreamers Never Die (Documentary)
This was first shown on the 28th, and will play again on Sunday (October 2nd) in a lot of theaters around the country. From all the reviews I've read it's a good documentary, and some of the stuff in there will surprise people. Not because of how shocking Ronnie James Dio's life was, but because of how shocking it wasn't.
It's at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not a lot of reviews, but, still - 100%.

Re: DIO - Dreamers Never Die (Documentary)
I went to see this today, and the theater was about 75% full. That was nice to see.
The movie itself is very good. It's a really interesting story, and a rather unique one in the music business in that the star doesn't hit it big until they're in their mid 30's. At that time a Rock Star in his/her mid 30's was viewed as being old. The Stones were seen as aging in the 70's. But that's when Ronnie first achieved big time success with Ritchie Blackmore in Rainbow.
If you don't know the story, or many of the details, this is a great movie. For someone who knows the story well like I do I was disappointed that they didn't talk about a number of things - but I recognize that it was down to not having enough time. Realistically, this could be a 5 part, one hour a night TV docu-series on TV and still leave stuff out. The stuff that's in there is pure gold.
I'll definitely make the Blu Ray purchase on this one!

Looks like it was a limited release - 2 days, one showing at each location per day.
My bet is that this shows up on Blu Ray/DVD and a streaming platform soon.

Yeah same here looking forward to streaming or purchasing. Love RJD.
Rainbow in the Dark is one of my favorite songs. I didn't even know this was being made.
