It sounds like "Rock and Rule" is being re-released as "Ring of Power" at the
LA Filmex.  Good, I liked it a lot when I saw it in Boston a while ago. Sure it
had a hokey ending, but there were some great touches in it. Eg, the aging rock
superstar (named "Mock", who could they be referring to?) has a mansion that
metamorhposizes into a jet-propelled zeppelin after he kidnaps the heroine. 
Try doing that with models, Lucasfilm!   It was only showing in the smallest
theaters, though, and it closed after a week.  "Something Wicked This Way
Comes" also closed after a week, and I also liked it.  For a while there
I was worried that I was poisoning all these great movies.
