Peter Bogdanovich Movie MASK : True story about the life of
Rocky Dennis and his battle with the terminal disease lionitis!
Hellacious Movies Movie Review : I felt the story failed to honor Rocky Dennis's life and struggle
with the rare and terminal disease lionitus as there was too much story surrounding his mother and
her biker lifestyle! Quite frankly having been told once that I had an aggessive cancer with very
little chance of survival and having a loved one die from cancer I feel I know first hand they ignored
much of the mental and physical torments this young man went thru! I also felt disconnected from
the main characters in the story! And the acting was at best attrocious! Since when does wearing a
t-shirt advertising moustache rides and giving Cher the look equate to high caliber acting!
