I can’t say much more than simply see this documentary if you are either a Doors fan or a fan of 60’s and 70’s music lore. The iconic Jim Morrison had a mind that few could fully understand; The poetry in his music and the unpredictability of his life is something that many will talk about… |

The Band was a throwback during their Sixties heyday. Half a century later, they seem doubly backdated. Thus this documentary about their best album is worth seeking out only for true fans. For a onetime casual fan like me, it was mildly interesting and minimally affecting. Still, _The Nigh…

Cadillac Records features truly great music, sexy antics and charismatic portrayals of legendary performers, yet it somehow leaves you blue. Unlike listening to the blues, watching its performers indulge in the proto rockstar life is vicariously wild yet unsatisfying to the soul. I suppose th…
