Song Sung Blue (2025) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The story of a singing couple
Craig Brewer’s latest film “Song Sung Blue” is a bit too conventional to my little disappointment. Probably because I am already familiar with its dramatic real-life story, the movie often felt to me like being no more than a merely … Continue reading
This Is Spinal Tap (1984) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Still endearingly outrageous and hilarious
Rob Reiner’s 1984 comedy film “This Is Spinal Tap” still amuses me a lot for many good reasons. While keeping its attitude as straight as possible via its ground-breaking mockumentary style, the movie has a lot of fun with many … Continue reading
Devo (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): The story of one defiantly unconventional American band
Netflix documentary film “Devo”, which was released in last month, looks into the history of Devo, a defiantly unconventional American band which simply tried to do something quite different during the 1970-80s. To the frustration and bafflement of its members, … Continue reading
Stop Making Sense (1984) ☆☆☆☆(4/4): It still rocks
