Lets face it kids if you’re not a Morrissey fan this is just a concert footage with a really unattractive audience. I do mean that as well, from the doughy to the confused. It was a hipster buffet.

Springsteen and I, A Movie Trailer For the Fanatic
As a non follower its hard for me to imagine the excitement to be felt by so many at the announcement of the new film “Springsteen and I’, just looking at this clip does nothing for me at all- II suppose its similar to the kids who lined up for a Justin Bieber film- but just much older and less cute
Friends Of The Viper Room, An Upcoming Documentary About The Famous Los Angeles NightClub
he dark and tiny nightclub – I have been inside several times and it’s quite small, especially the toilets! – was originally opened by Johnny Depp, and has been the place to be on a Saturday night since the 90s, the place where some celebrities like Mick Jagger, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Billy Idol, or Iggy Pop would occasionally make a surprise apparition late at night
Ridley Scott Is Producing 'Springsteen & I’, A Documentary About The Boss From The Fans' Point Of View
What I get from this short one-minute-and-half tease, is a feeling of togetherness expressed by all these people, who are all united under the same unconditional love for the boss. Think what you want about Springsteen, but there’s obviously something special about him to command such a huge crowd.

So what a great year to pluck out some concert footage- digitally remaster it, and put it up on the big screen? Now you can walk in to your local theater and pretend you’re there all over again.

The film is being written but Lee Hall who wrote the wonderful Billy Elliot.. see how this is all fitting together now? I see a Broadway rendition of this in our future.. yuck. Oh and if anyone knows any little boys- they’re having a bit of trouble casting 5 year old Elton.. heaven help us.

The Clash 'Rude Boy', Reviewed (sorta)
One of the coolest things it showed was how the shows got bigger and bigger. I loved the whole “They’re not fighting, they’re dancing!” scene. It was a revolution; it hadn’t been seen before and the Clash brought it to the table.

“You remind me of the babe”, and people were instantly liking the status and commenting with the next few lines of “ ‘What babe?’ ‘The babe with the power.’ ‘What power?’ ‘The power of voodoo’ ‘Who do?’ ‘You do’ ‘Do what?’ ‘Remind me of the babe!’”.
Tom Cruise "Paradise City" Reviewed
Perhaps if he had not opted to hit the tons that pop balloons with their frequency we would be ok but the shrill “taaake mee hoo o ome yeaha yeaha’ made me want to not only kill myself but everything around me
The CBGB Movie?
How the hell can the dude for Avatar be Joey and what gives him the gaul to accept that challenge? I guess it can be considered historic value but really I don’t expect much but a shot at profit. I predict it to tank harder than Water World
The Rise And Fall Of The Clash, NYC July 5th 2012
I don’t really think I have ever cried watching a preview film trailer before. Yeah, cried. Like that drizzle sort of tear thingy chicks do, I totally just did it just on this couple minutes of splicey footage. I wasn’t crying over how really rough Mick is looking these days…
The Killers "Go All The Way" Cover Reviewed
The tune is being used in the new film Dark Shadows, starring Johnny Depp. So basically this is a film taken from a fabulous original with a soundtrack of copies of fabulous originals which means, ain’t nothin new here.
Jewel as June Carter Cash
When did the world 'biopic' come in to fashion? I swear its a new one they used to be called biographys or documentary. Biopic sounds like a lab experiment involving monkeys or something.

These styles included melding live-action photography with animation, 3-dimensional sequences and kaleidoscopic ‘rotoscoping’ where film is traced frame by frame into drawings. The entire process took nearly two years
20th Anniversary Cash In, The Bodyguard
This film was about a singer and her stalker (played by Kevin Costner) and was a huge success but if Whitney hadn’t died- I doubt highly there would have been all the hoopla being given for the anniversary of its release.
Lady GaGa Made For TV Movie
Gaga is concerned that the soon to be made film will show her as vulnerable and weak- she wants her image to be strong and self confident. This is also a contradiction since her whole rally cry has been about her triumph over insecurities

Paul Dano Musical Inspirations
‘Even if you’re playing someone in the 1700s in France, you might listen to hip-hop, if it’s an energy thing for the character. Or you can listen to what the character actually listened to. I use music like crazy. It’s like sticking a needle in your arm, like taking a drug because it’s so immediate,’
Sergio Mendes Loses To Muppets At The Oscars
the Oscar for Best Original Song went to…’Man or Muppet’ from The Muppets movie. Pretty much the best news from the Oscars. If you recall we were so excited to see the film and although it was not an epic success it had just enough retro cuteness to win me over
Russell Crowe In 'Les Misérables', The Movie
Crowe will be portraying Inspector Javert in the latest version of the Victor Hugo classic. Who cares, right? There has been a million adaptations of this thing- it’s as if we have all lived it already. This film has an somewhat interesting twist though- it’s music
Vans Warped Tour "No Room For Rock Stars" Trailer
The film will be released March 1, 2012 and part of me really wants to go see it, and part of me just wants to go to Warped instead. As close as it feels, nothing touches the magic of the tour itself.
'One For The Money' Reviewed (Sorta)
There were moments of laughter but the sexual tension between Plum and Morelli was weak and that between her and Ranger non existent.

Metallica and The Bulging Screen
Disney Pixar? Hell yes, bring on the glasses, 3D is awesome. Sweaty Ulrich? No thank you. But now that Metallica is officially Lou Reeds bitch, it’s only fitting that they plaster their mugs on the big screen
Taylor Swift In Yet Another Les Mis Revival
First of all, before getting to Swift, do we really need another version of Les Miserables?! How many times can you reinvent Victor Hugo’s classic, with music or no music? The famous novel has already been adapted, I kid you not, 52 times since 1907
Elton John Wants Justin Timberlake For His Biopic
is a real endorsement from the man himself, how many times does this happen? How many times does the singer choose the person who is gonna play him or her? I know it was the case for Johnny Cash who had totally approved Joaquin Phoenix playing him, but it must be rare
"New Year's Eve" Reviewed (More or Less)
How bad can a movie with Bon Jovi getting slapped not once, but twice? Prett bad. Perhaps if Gerry Marshall had Katherine Hegl slap every member of the casr they might have been on to something.

"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" Reviewed (More Or Less)
The entire Reznor/Ross score is electronic plus organic mayhem and is most effective at its most tense. Still there is nothing as brilliant as the walk across the Harvard campus in “The Social Network”.
'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close' Reviewed
There were so many people sniffing and weeping in the theater that the moviemaker should be a little ashamed to have exploited loss and grief so much. It’s way too easy to make people cry at watching other people crying, I don’t think there is a dry-eye scene and Sandra Bullock is crying every time she is on the screen.

Taylor Swift worked with the Civil Wars and Burnett to write and perform the song ‘Safe and Sound’ the Decemberists wrote ‘One Engine’. Other sources are saying that Arcade Fire are even doing several songsfor the soundtrack, including the theme song
