Perfect 66 Points 1983

The world’s greatest rock & roll band – at the peak of their powers – glimmers brightly in Hal Ashby’s awkwardly titled movie documenting their massive 1981 stadium tour. Promoting a just released Tattoo You, the 25 song set draws six tracks from that kickass album, along with three from the u…

Love & Mercy
Perfect 66 Points 2015

Love & Mercy is as much the story of one man’s mental illness as the story of his treasured musical genius. The man is Brian Wilson, the illness is schizoaffective disorder and the music is that of The Beach Boys. The movie is perfect, as inspired as a uniquely inspired Beach Boys song. _Good, …

Great 17 Points 2013

Ron Howard chronicles Jay Z’s musical melting pot. I can’t think of a better way to get a broad spectrum music that you probably are not listening to a lot of. Take a gander at Rita Ora, Kanye West, Pearl Jam, Janelle Monae, Skrillex, Santigold, the Hives, D’Angelo, and many more. My favorite…

Magic Mike XXL
Good 17 Points 2015

Tons of laughs form the Channing Tatum and crew. I mean, how could you not find the premise of following a stud-muffin crew on their final blowout funny. Just the story generates lols, but the cast does a great job of stretching that out for the entire film.

Marley
Very Good 83 Points 2012

Bob Marley’s legend emerges enhanced and deepened from this extensive documentary of his life and career. Notwithstanding classic rockstar foibles, he’s revealed to be a figure of complexity, courage and depth. Plus his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame talent shines brightly through. Jamming.

Good 17 Points 2013

What was supposed to be a story about a Metallica roadie on an urgent mission turns out to be basically a concert film, but Dane DeHaan does give it the ‘ol college try – but didn’t have much of a chance in the aimless and over the top secondary story line. That said, if you are a Metallica fan,…

Miles Ahead
Very Good 66 Points 2015

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…

He rocks you with grooving new songs and hits you with classics that still raise goosebumps…. I haven’t heard a better revival of his style of music. Although I didn’t like all the songs on the DVD, please do stick it through — because there are some riffs you won’t want to miss….. As for me…

OK 17 Points 1981

I can’t say much more than simply see this documentary if you are either a Doors fan or a fan of 60’s and 70’s music lore. The iconic Jim Morrison had a mind that few could fully understand; The poetry in his music and the unpredictability of his life is something that many will talk about…

Good 66 Points 2010

Rock I ran. Whoops, make that Rock Iran, as in the music of rebellion from the theocratically oppressed country threatening nuclear Armageddon. This revolutionary paradox makes Persian Cats the most important political movie of the year. A slice-of-life take on the underground rock music sce…
