![]() 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…

![]() Spice World gets a lot of flack for being a film that stars The Spice Girls [it’s the cool thing to do when you diss these ladies]. But given the chance, it’s a really appealing and charming film with a lot of energy and spunk. Watching five days in the lives of the Spice Girls is entertaining as… |

![]() 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…. |

![]() The Peter Principle personified: Kevin Spacey reached his level of incompetence by writing, directing and starring in Beyond the Sea, a surreal biopic of Bobby Darin. The starring part was mostly fine. The writing and directing parts, not so much. Darin’s terrific songs make the movie an…

![]() The “Cotton Club” is one and and a half performances away from being a very good for great movie, but as they say “If my grandma had wheels, she’d have a trolley”. Well that’s not quite accurate but overall it is a very appealing, ambitious movie that is marred by a very over the top performance …

![]() 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. |

A fun little jaunt to Afghanistan by the quirky Bill Murray. Even with his increasingly old and grizzled demeanor, he continues to pull off that special brand of snarky humor, even if it is a bit more subdued than in days of old. And speaking of subdued, don’t blink or you might miss Bruce Will… |

![]() Charming romcoms that are more intelligent than LOL funny are worth their weight in popcorn. Juliet, Naked is lightly buttered, a fine time at the movies for smart comedy fans as much as for lonely hearts. An exceptionally strong cast centers on the serene beauty of brainy Rose Byrne, who i…

![]() 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…
