Reviews

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Omer Levent It was a boring sequence in general. Total score for the sections: 7.30. I like his characters and his actors. I also like Imogen Poots' films. I liked the character of Machine Gun Kelly's Wes. It was for me, in general, a series of sincere emotions. But it did not have parts. I think the end was nice, but I did not get it. Phil was also very charming. It's a series I would not recommend because you are too boring, but it can really be watched for your music. He was glad to see that the familiar names played. Jeff Buckley vs. And it really provides a very good music discovery environment. Suggest the soundtrack list.
tomer G let me open this review by saying that music was always my greatest passion and music artists are some of my greatest heroes, that and of course movies and cinema. I was 16 years old when Crowe present me with the groundbreaking movie "Singles" that capture the grunge music generation with a one of a time soundtrack from bands like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and many more... the movie was the right mixture of drama, music,comedy and romance that only a true music lover can make. and then came "Almost Famous" that kept the same delicate essence. This series is (for me) the 3rd part in Crowe's musical trilogy, a group of roadies works for a band in a city state tour, a real hard job that keep you out of a normal family life where the tour buses are your home and the actual family are your co-workers, the pay isn't much so why keep going? they all have one thing in common, their passion for music, the same passion that drove Crowe on an early age to become a traveling journalist for the Rolling Stones magazine (the "Almost Famous" movie story). so.. is that series any good - sure is!, if you loved Crowe's other movies this one is the right series for you, if you are a true music lover you will identify with the characters and your heart will fill with warmth every couple of minutes.
KCurmudgeon One of my and my wife's favorite TV dramas of all time. I don't know, and pretty much don't care, if it's an accurate depiction of roadies or road life; it's a great series set in that world. I've always been a fan of Cameron Crowe's work and this is one of his best. Interesting, well-developed, affecting characters that you care about and an awesome soundtrack. This is the series that Vinyl should have been. The last three episodes of the season (and please let there be more seasons) were some of the most moving of any series ever. Totally can't understand how the critics are missing how great this show is. If you haven't seen it, give it a try. And to Showtime...Please let the tour go on!
Michaelrpp After a bit a bit of a slow start this show soon picked up and now has me hooked. The characters are now developing depth and helping the mix are guest appearances of stars like Lindsey Buckingham, John Mellencamp and couple of others. Couple this with the amazing musical score and this creates that final magic spark of realness. Some good sub-plots are developing too. I was a roadie for a year and some of the stuff done in the show is played up or played down but it's not all that far from reality. Every crew and band have their strange sides, quirky customs and personal demons. Members really do go missing. There's often drugs and debauchery involved but not as much as people think. With some bands and crews it's forbidden. Thumbs up
