![]() The Commitments retains its charm some 25 years after it premiered, even as Ireland and the music world have changed dramatically in the intervening quarter-century. That charm stems from a can’t-miss combination of sweet soul music, quirky characters coming together in a band, and some real se…

![]() 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… |

![]() The Jonas Brothers(focasing on Joe Jonas) stared in this movie about a camp in witch kids showed their talent in dancing, singing, and music producing. A clear Disney movie. Although adults may like this movie, kids would enjoy it most. (Review by Katherine) |

![]() I liked the movie, though I thought I would enjoy it more because of all the hype I had heard. However, that being said, it is an interesting romp through history following the path of this single violin. Plus, with a soundtrack that can’t be beat, you’re sure to enjoy this film. |

![]() Cadillac Records features truly great music, sexy antics and charismatic portrayals of legendary performers, yet it somehow leaves you blue. Unlike listening to the blues, watching its performers indulge in the proto rockstar life is vicariously wild yet unsatisfying to the soul. I suppose th…

For you uninitiated (or unaware), Rush is a band that continues to produce ever evolving kick-ass progressive rock after 35 years, has 24 consecutive gold and platinum albums (trailing only The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Aerosmith), gets shunned by critics, yet continues to sell out big stadiums… |
