Camp Rock
Very Good 17 Points 2008

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)

The Wrecking Crew
Great 83 Points 2008

Fans of the Beach Boys, Glen Campbell, the Mamas & the Papas, Sonny & Cher or Nancy Sinatra should seek out this documentary about the unsung musicians who made their music for them. The Wrecking Crew wasn’t an official name for the group. These independent studio players didn’t have an officia…

Fame
Pretty Awful 22 Points 2009

There are bad movie remakes, and there are horrible movie remakes. This was HORRIBLE. I felt like I was watching a movie made solely for the purpose of showcasing the choreographers and vocal coaches from “So You Think You Can Dance” and “American Idol” … no storyline, no acting, just lots of B…

Crazy Heart
Really Great 83 Points 2009

Hard rocking and heart warming, Crazy Heart creates an Outlaw Country icon out of whole cloth, complete with instantly classic songs and Jeff Bridge’s iconic personification. Best Actor worthy? Hell yes.

Rueful, funny and incisive, this tale of alcoholic rock-bottom and the redeeming power…

Pirate Radio
Great 95 Points 2009

Seventy percent LOL, a sly script and exuberant sex & drugs & rock & roll make Pirate Radio a highly entertaining movie. (To be fair, sex & drugs aren’t shown, just celebrated.) Redoubtable comedic auteur Richard Curtis bases his movie on real events, bringing it to life with a terrific ensem…

This Is It
Great 78 Points 2009

Michael Jackson – like Elvis – left the building at a shockingly young age, inadvertently bestowing this rehearsal documentary to posterity. It’s quite the confection, demonstrating the singular brilliance of an otherworldly showbiz creature while leaving us wanting more.

The movie makes clea…

Good 66 Points 2010

French musical sensation Serge Gainsbourg explains himself in this surreal biopic. Largely unknown here in America, Gainsbourg was a cross between Dylan, Sinatra and Leonard Cohen in France. The women he squired – including Brigitte Bardot during her superstar heyday – comprise a good part of h…

OK 66 Points 2010

Visually scintillating, musically avant-garde, dramatically turgid: This biopic of two cultural giants goes down like Brussels sprouts instead of foie gras. IOW, it takes effort to work through the two hour running time, when it should feel like savoring a rich delicacy. Pity, since Coco & Igor…
