4 stars Blues Beats Rock
If you are into the Blues, then this movie is for you. Even though Ralph Macchio is his usual whimpy self through most of the movie, he smokes in the end. Joe Seneca is fantastic through out, being everything from a "Mean Old Man" to a compassionate friend. The movie get's rather slow at times, but always comes back with great humor and killer music.

i hadn,t seen this movie since i was a kid so i wasn,t expecting much .after watching it through i was really surprised at how good it was,sure the actings not the stuff of oscars,but the two main leads do a terriffic job portraying a kind of master and apprentice role.this film will appeal to anyone who loves the blues +for all you that like it a bit heavier steve vai puts in an awsome cameo in the final climatic guitar duel.5/5

A great story line about blues music.The acting is 2nd rate but we enjoyed the movie anyway.If you have a music lover in the house this movie is worth the money.Try to avoid the sudden urge to go buy a guitar it's not as easy as it looks.

Classic hard rockers Tesla were one of those bands that reluctantly hitched a ride on the hair metal bandwagon of the late '80s, only to get bum-rapped on the early-'90s flip side when their career was undeservedly sunk alongside those flaming chunks of hairspray and mascara. Unable or perhaps unwilling to cope with culturally enforced grunge exile thereafter, the members of Tesla chose extinction instead, quietly going their separate ways after touring in support of their fourth studio album, 1994's ...

Bursting at the seams with clever cinematic ideas, Rodney Evans's BROTHER TO BROTHER captures the essence of contemporary black gay life in America by drawing parallels with the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. Perry (Anthony Mackie) is a young gay student at Columbia University who moonlights as a worker in a homeless shelter. Feeling something is missing from his life, but unable to form the essential questions which will lead to the answers he so desperately craves, Perry unloads his existential angst onto the shoulders of his straight best friend Marcus (Larry Gilliard Jr.). Perry finds inspiration in the pages of a book on the Harlem Renaissance, and takes a journey back in time to meet some of the characters who dominated the neighborhood in the 1920s. First up is an encounter with the elderly painter and writer Richard Bruce Nugent (portrayed here with extreme pathos by Roger Robinson), who offers Perry a nostalgic foray into the history of black, gay culture. Bruce's stories are reenacted in black-and-white, and introduce Perry to esteemed figures such as Langston Hughes (Daniel ...

Who better to bring the grand-scale King Kong myth to the screen once again than the director responsible for creating the vast and magical world of the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy? In this behind-the-scenes documentary, Academy Award-winner Peter Jackson invites viewers inside the production process for his epic undertaking, 2005's KING KONG. Set in the 1930s, the film took over six months to shoot, involving many elaborate sets and exotic locales. Luckily for fans, Jackson and members of the all-star cast (Naomi Watts, Adrien ...
