Go Behind The Music With The Trailer For Cameron Crowe’s TV Show ROADIES

I haven’t connected with any of Cameron Crowe’s movies on a huge level since Vanilla Sky in 2001 (my god, is that really 15 years ago?). But I won’t give up on the man who had a streak that contained Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous and the [...]

Need For Speed is ridiculous, contrived, thinly plotted with poorly constructed characters. It’s a film based on a video game, with a title derived from a line of dialogue in a slick but soulless 1980s action film. It’s also a blast – [...]
