Very Good 17 Points 2007

I liked this movie. A bit campy/fairy-tale for some, but for people who really appreciate the affect music can have, it will tug at some emotional strings within you. Freddie Highmore does a good job as the orphan. It was interesting to watch Robin Williams in a quasi-bad-guy-yet-good-in-a-way ch…

An Evening with...
Perfect 12 Points 2002

Yes! Hot music, hot band, hot film. If you’re looking for a great musical experience, I’d say put this at the top of your queue. And don’t worry, all you red-blooded Americans, Natalie Maines only mentions Toby Keith once :-)

Amazing Journey...
Great 17 Points 2007

I’ve always just been a casual fan of the Who — I have lots of song favorites, but I’ve never known that much about the band itself. This documentary does a great job of putting you in touch with the band, its history, its music, and especially the personalities of the members Roger Daltrey, Pet…

Really Great 66 Points 2018

Aretha Franklin was never even that close to being one of my favorite soul singers. There, I’ve said it.
Diana Ross, Nina Simone & Mavis Staples all found more favor with me than did the Queen of Soul.

That’s now chang…

Amadeus
Perfect 66 Points 1984

Brilliance has never been more exquisitely appreciated than in Amadeus, with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s genius obsessively observed by Antonio Salieri, his lesser rival. Profound jealousy makes for such sweet sorrow, especially as snottily delivered by F. Murray Abraham in a stupendously juicy r…

Great 66 Points 2000

Backstage Pass To Rock & Roll Valhalla. Rock and roll voyeur trip. Great performances, including then new star Kate Hudson. Funny, witty script.

Cameron Crowe is a monster talent, and apparently has been one since he started writing for Rolling Stone as a mere pup of 15. This lovingly persona…

A Star is Born
Very Good 83 Points 2018

Bradley Cooper & Lady Gaga got themselves the best Star is Born of the past half-century. Think about it, Cooper & Gaga beat Kristofferson and Streisand all to hell, he the better actor, she the better rock singer.

Nevermind that Cooper’s major moviestar turn as a rootsy rockstar with a ragi…
