I love music. Movies and music. I have worked in Suncoast, Sam Goodie, FYE, and used movie and music places. My best friend from middle school on was a sony Diskman that opened my world to real music. The first time I heard Metallica was at study hall, a stoner barrowed my cd player and forgot to take out the disk. It blew my mind. I lost my musical verginity at that moment. He then let me barrow Pearl Jam's "10" album.
I may not have been their first fan, or their biggest, but I am a fan. To be honest I didnt know too much about them. So in my quest for movie nerd-dom, I came across this film. Written and directed by Cameron Crowe (Jerry McGuire, Almost Famous, We Baught A Zoo).
One of the reasons I wanted to see this is that over the summer Pearl Jam had their 20th anniversery concert at Alpine Valley here in Wisconsin. 2 days in summer in wisconsin. Livivng less than a hour away I wanted to see some of that concert, and was hoping it had a little in this film. It did not.
It also did not disapoint! I want to give it 5 stars, but I just cannot. I'm giving it 4. The sound on this is amazing and this will be my first recomendation that if you can, get the bluray from netflix if you have a good sound system. The streaming sound was great but 7.1 will melt my sox off.
