Moody Blues - Live at Montreux 1991, TheGenre: Musical & Performing Arts Release Date: 05/31/2005 Rating Production Year: 1991 Run Time: 96 mins Released By: Eagle Rock Entertain One of rock's longest-running acts, the Moody Blues began as a mid-1960s British Invasion band before turning to psychedelic pop later in the decade. In the 1970s, the Blues evolved into purveyors of melodic, classically influenced songs that split the distance between progressive rock and pop, a sound they carried through several decades. This program finds the Moody Blues performing at the 1991 Montreux Jazz Festival--their only appearance at the prestigious event--in support of that year's KEYS OF THE KINGDOM album. Longtime band members Justin Hayward, Graeme Edge, John Lodge, and Ray Thomas work through a career-spanning selection of songs that includes "Your Wildest Dreams," "Ride My See-Saw," "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock & Roll Band)," and, of course, "Nights in White Satin." … more less -

Factory Cast: Henry Rollins, Chrissie Hynde, Jello Biafra, Mary Harron, Thurston Moore Director Don Letts has spent a good portion of his adult life documenting the exciting punk explosion that came out of England in the late 1970s. His film about the Clash, WESTWAY TO THE WORLD, is regarded as one of the definitive artefacts of the era, and Letts even went on to form the band Big Audio Dynamite with the Clash's Mick Jones.

Letts calls on a number of British and American stars to offer their thoughts on punk, with Henry Rollins, Chrissie Hynde, Jello Biafra, and filmmakers Jim Jarmusch (MYSTERY TRAIN) and Mary Harron (I SHOT ANDY WARHOL) among them.

Sketches of Frank GehryGenre: Musical & Performing Arts Release Date: 08/22/2006 Rating PG-13 Production Year: 2006 Run Time: 84 mins Released By: Sony Pictures Home Cast: Frank Gehry, Dennis Hopper, Bob Geldof, Julian Schnabel Oscar winning director Sydney Pollack takes a sharp sideways turn with SKETCHES OF FRANK GEHRY, a documentary about the noted architect. Usually known for making grandiose productions such as THE FIRM and OUT OF AFRICA, Pollock adds a genuine curio to his filmmaking resume with this movie. Although the two men have been friends for years, Pollock thankfully bypasses the opportunity to pay a fawning tribute to Gehry, instead presenting a well-balanced portrait that offers both positive and negative commentators the chance to etch their thoughts into celluloid. But it quickly becomes clear that the biggest naysayer of all is Gehry himself, who is painted as a highly self-critical man, clearly ill-at-ease with fame and his own achievements. Pollock offers some screen time to Gehry's magnificent creations, but not as much as a less experienced director might have done, instead choosing to focus on the man himself. People such as Gehry's therapist, Milton Wexler, and garrulous artist/director Julian Schnabel (BASQUIAT) offer their thoughts, but the real magic occurs when Pollock and Gehry are on screen together. The series of interviews between the two men have the kind of relaxed atmosphere that could only exist after years of friendship, and Gehry comes across as an astonishingly normal and likeable fellow who keeps his ego firmly in check. Shooting mostly with hand-held digital-video cameras also brings a nice intimacy to the proceedings, creating a warm testimony to a great artist who has somehow managed to keep his integrity intact despite the ruthless nature of the industry in which he works. … more less -
