Elvis coulda been titled Baz given its near fatal dose of writer-director Baz Luhrmann’s overwrought style. Elvis Presley was no stranger to overwrought style, so the cinematic marriage works to a point. That point gets reached when Baz dwells on the overwrought story of Col. Tom Parker, notwit… |

Iconic rapper Eminem achieved pop culture immortality in this loose recreation of his emergence from the Detroit hip-hop scene. It’s been said that 8 Mile plays like a rap version of Saturday Night Fever. True enough, though it achieves greater resonance by profiling its own star and memo…

Chet Baker was bodaciously gifted. The James Dean of Jazz had his own style of cool, West Coast Swing. Plus, he was supermodel handsome. Ethan Hawke – the moviestar who plays Chet Baker – isn’t nearly as handsome as Baker was, even allowing for Hawke being in his 40s, playing a music idol in h…

A moviestar who directs himself playing an iconic figure in a dramatic biopic has a fool for a leading-man. Don Cheadle provides proof of this as Miles Davis in Miles Ahead, following in the footsteps of Kevin Spacey, who stubbed his toe directing himself as Bobby Darin in the similarly flawe…

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… |

If you are a Pink Floyd fan, then this movie should be on your to-see VuList. A thorough journey in to the band-member’s viewpoints on the music they created. It is very apparent that these guys know there wasn’t much they could do to top that album, and that album defines them even to this day…. |

Constant name dropping and a self-serving biography about rock photographer Robert Knight’s pursuit of great guitarists is a little off-putting at times, but I’ll have to admit seeing footage and hearing stories of some of rock’s greats was darn interesting. Just some of the names we are t… |

The only reason this movie was interesting at all was for its concert footage. The interviews were mostly self-serving, with some exceptions when the band talked about Freddie Mercury or the recluse drummer Roger Taylor. The band was amazing. Their style isn’t for everyone, but the musicianship -…
