![]() Slogging through the surge. The soldiers in Baker company only had 90 days, yet were on task to establish a forward outpost. Yep, right In the middle of the bad guys. This is no Restrepo – but engrossing in a measured, paced kind of way. Fighting is not the focus of the movie, instead you ar… |

![]() While not a great movie, the fun-poking at geeky 70’s arcade game players was hard to resist. Lots of chuckles at characters that probably existed when you and your acne was playing Pac Man or Donkey Kong at the arcade. Even more funny is the look at the ultra-geeks who get sucked back in when t… |

![]() Lots of notables star in this documentary about life in America during Elvis’ time. Interesting format as they ride around in one of Elvis’ old cars during the interviews. |

![]() Who’s Next fans – and who’s not – will be delighted by this 50 minute documentary. More celebratory than insightful, it also suffers from a few omissions. However it’s all good when Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle marvel at how their benchmark album came into existence. Long…

![]() ‘Quit singing and jam’ remains my reaction to many Cream songs, including from their defining album. So it’s less than optimal that this rockumentary focuses on Disraeli Gears’ lyrics, lyricists and singing. David Fricke’s commentary is terrific however. More to the point, their music ser…
