I Am Thor (2015)

I Am Thor: Directed by Ryan Wise. With Jon Mikl Thor, John Holmstrom, Nik Turner, Jack Cione. Jon Mikl Thor was a bodybuilding, steel bending, brick smashing rock star in the 70’s and 80’s whose theatrical band, Thor, never quite made it big. Years later he attempts a comeback that nearly kills him.

“I thought I knew a lot about music (and I even spent time in a band myself). So I feel kind of embarrassed that I didnu0026#39;t know about this band until watching this documentary. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was super late at night and I was thinking of stopping and getting some shut-eye. However, Iu0026#39;m glad I stayed up and watched this through until the end. It turned out to be quite the story of highs, lows, and sheer determination. No matter how bad things got, how questionable the situation, how tattered the band became, or how ridiculous a scenario was that was playing out in front of your eyes — rest assured somehow and some way Jon Mikl Thor would face things with a positive attitude. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe unabashed honesty in this documentary is fearless. Hereu0026#39;s a person who wears his heart on his sleeve and is truly likable. And heu0026#39;s willing to put the good and the bad times out on display for everyone to see. No publicist filter here at all. Itu0026#39;s actually really refreshing to see in this age of carefully scripted and curated presentation. It makes you laugh, cry, worry, and cheer. And that folks is entertainment. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBravo to Thor and all the musicians and loved ones that helped him on his journey here in midgard.”
