I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreTells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

View MoreShe complains that she got "a shot of cortisone in her f-ing ass" just so she could perform, and apologizes for her voice, but boy does she ever sound great! Vocals maybe, were not as on as in The Isle of View, but she sings "I'll Stand By You," "Brass in Pocket," "Don't Get Me Wrong," "Kid," and other hits beautifully. She rocks out with "Middle of the Road," "Night in My Veins," "My City Was Gone," and others like the rock star that she is! There's a great guitar solo in "Fools Must Die," and a charming screw-up at the beginning of "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart," but it's great, really. It does take her a few songs to warm up and get comfortable with the crowd, and it could do with some more talk (also the director seems to forget that there is a bass player in the band because Andy Hobson doesn't get much camera time), but the music, vocals, and entertainment is very good. Martin Chambers is "entertaining" during a couple numbers, and if you like Chrissie Hynde, you'll love the DVD.
