Really Great 12 Points 2006

A really good independent movie that follows the relationship of a busker in Ireland and an immigrant from the Czech Republic. The relationship has music as its core, and the story is told mostly through the music the two create. The film won many awards, including a Grammy for one of its songs.

Very Good 17 Points 2006

Beyonce, Jaimie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Danny Glover, Jennifer Hudson – need I add more? There were more. A terrific cast did a great job of giving us a glimpse into the life of soul-sisters in the 60’s. It was a little weird seeing Eddie Murphy singing like James Brown, but the unexpected musical …

Perfect 6 Points 2000

The filmed last performance of the show, this dvd may be hard to find, but is well worth it. Marking Carol Burnett’s return to the great stages of Broadway, this musical is a collection of the finest songs from Sondheim’s finest musicals, I found my copy on the internet for a few dollars and I as…

The Commitments
Very Good 73 Points 1991

The Commitments retains its charm some 25 years after it premiered, even as Ireland and the music world have changed dramatically in the intervening quarter-century. That charm stems from a can’t-miss combination of sweet soul music, quirky characters coming together in a band, and some real se…
