    'Control' and 'I'm Not There' avoid the biopic pitfalls. - Slate Magazine

    I love rock biopics - especially 'Velvet Goldmine.' Definitely looking forward to checking out the one on Bob Dylan.

    Quoted: I'm Not There occasions some very Dylan-esque mumbling and fidgeting from Christian Bale and young British actor Ben Whishaw, but the only full-on impersonation of the man is by a woman, Cate Blanchett.

    Across the Universe (2007) - MSN Movies

    This movie looks like it might be cool - Julie Taymor tends to put together some really creative stuff. It's set to the music of the Beatles, with actors playing Joplin and Hendrix-like supporting roles. Bono and Eddie Izzard are in it too!

    Quoted: Set against the tumult of the 1960s, Julie Taymor's hallucinogenic musical follows the arduous journey of star crossed lovers Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood) as they and a group of musicians are swept up in the raging waters of the volatile counterculture movement.

    Shut Up And Sing: Dixie Chicks

    I heard this documentary was great, and really makes the case that free speech comes at a high price these days... definitely going to rent it when I get a chance.

    Quoted: ”Shut Up And Sing” travels with the Dixie Chicks, from the peak of their popularity as the national-anthem-singing darlings of country music and top-selling female recording artists of all time, through the now infamous anti-Bush comment made by the groups lead singer Natalie Maines in 2003.

    Oscar buzz revives interest in real-life 'Dreamgirl' - CNN.com

    Interesting story about the woman Jennifer Hudson's character is based on in "Dreamgirls." I'd like to know what Diana Ross thinks about all this...

    Quoted: Like Effie, the "Dreamgirls" character based in part on her life, Florence Ballard had a triumphant return to the stage after her fall from grace.
