Cameron Crowe's great story about a budding Rock journalist from the 70's.

Great movie, really brought me back.

Best line: "Opie must die."

I like that movie. The featured band in the movie that is called Blackwater/Blackoak (?) is supposed to be the Allman Brothers Band

Great movie, what took you so long to see it?

NJG8tor · 11-16-2009, 09:45 PM

I was disappointed with it, but because other people seem to like it, I assume it just wasn't my cup of tea.

One of my favorite movies - and the band was Stillwater. "I am Golden God!" ;-)

If you liked seeing the band scene from the 70's and loved that music this is a great movie.

Critically Crowe did a better than average job showing the personalities. He deserves credit for that.

one of my all time favorite movies. Really well made, Kate Hudson is pretty amazing in it, and they manage to accurately show the 70's rock scene through the eyes of an innocent, keeping it clean. Truthfully one of the most underrated movies of the decade.
