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

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.

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

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

'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.
