First Man (2018)::rating::0

The Beatles: Get Back (Episodes 2 & 3)::rating::0

For this week’s Cinemavino, Sean and I continue our look at Peter Jackson’s mammoth documentary, The Beatles: Get Back.  Jackson did an outstanding job of ironing 160 hours of raw footage into three coherent acts.  Not surprisingly, part II takes the Beatles into some of their darkest depths, as they try to bring George Harrison back into…

The Last Waltz (1978)::rating::0

Thanksgiving is already here, and we’ve found the perfect movie for the occasion. Martin Scorsese’s The Last Waltz is often held as the greatest rock documentary every made, and it’s easy to see why:  The Band’s farewell concert bottles everything cool, everything tragic, and everything beautiful about being a rock star, all in one magnificent film.…
