    Soul Power (2009)

    " Ultimately it's the music that makes this film a cause for celebration -- especially the chance to see 'Soul Brother #1' James Brown and his blistering band perform at their absolute prime."

    Hairspray (2007)

    " Hairspray is the perfect movie distraction for the summer -- frothy fun, kid-friendly and relevant."

    Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006)

    " If you got a buzz from Beavis & Butthead and Bill & Ted, Dumb and Dumber and Spinal Tap, you'll probably get a bunch of chuckles out of Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny."

    American Hardcore (2006)

    " If band names like Circle Jerks, D.O.A., Dead Kennedys and Minor Threat resonate with you, then this documentary celebrating their short-lived, pummeling breed of thrash-and-burn rock music will surely get your blood boiling all over again."

    The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006)

    " Officially endorsed by Lennon's widow, the film gains considerable credibility and flavor from her interviews, rare footage from the family archives (they documented everything), and especially the inclusion of more than three dozen Lennon songs."

    The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006)

    " Despite the overstating of his artistic case, I still found Jeff Feuerzeig's film account incredibly compelling, in a freaky, can't-help- but-stare-at-the- roadside-accident kind of way."

    Last Days (2005)

    " If you're looking for character insight, let alone plot exposition... forget about it."

    Rock School (2005)

    " Even a couple of Zappa's Mothers of Invention band alumni acknowledge the band done good -- not just as 'kids' but as musicians. And so will you."

    Lightning in a Bottle (2004)

    " A fast, sweet, cram course in the blues. And it does so in an extremely coherent, vital and entertaining fashion."

    Masked and Anonymous (2003)

    " As a lifelong devotee of Dylan's music, I found this far and away the best of the four movies he's made, in large measure because it's chock-full of his music and dramatically structured like one of his epic tirades."

    A Walk to Remember (2002)

    " Many a parent and their teen (or preteen) kid could bond while watching A Walk To Remember. So could young romantics out on a date."

    Rock Star (2001)

    " A sordid, stupid and amusing little saga, about as nourishing as a big bag of Cheez Doodles and equally addicting."

    " Just sit back, grip your arm rest like it's a joystick, and enjoy the slam-bang ride through the future-shocked Earth of 2065."
