What can I really say about this film? I mean, it is what it is. I'm sure some of y'all out there love these kinds of movies but, in my opinion, quality musicals are few and far between. The two things which make Rock of Ages worthwhile are the soundtrack and Tom Cruise's fantastic portrayal of 80's rock god Stacee Jaxx. I'm one of those dudes who believes Cruise can do no wrong. Probably because of his almost superhuman work ethic and balls-out commitment to a role. He single handedly saves the movie.
The clip below contains all three scotch sightings and will give you a glimpse of Cruise's performance. There is also an interesting appearance of the elusive scotch known as Clyburn. You'll have to look closely to spot it. I've added an enlarged screenshot below. Some devoted readers may remember that Clyburn is the same fake whisky from The Dark Knight. A little research revealed that Clyburn is a creation of a company called HPR Graphics which specializes in fake products for movies and TV shows. Some of their whisky labels are pretty impressive too.
