Still Bill (2009)
Bill Withers Shines in, "Still Bill"
There is plenty of sunshine when this film is on. We have all heard his music, no matter what age you are, and sing along to his songs. This film is about the life of 70's musician, Bill Withers. I really loved this film because it gives a history of this mans life. In other words, its not all about his music. But more about the after math of a successful music career gone limp after a few years. The film captures Bill as he is now and then takes you back to when he was most famous. Sting makes a guest appearance in the film. Sting is always nice to see. I really liked the archival footage. I felt like the images really took me back to the moments of the 70's/80's. I mostly liked watching the way Bill interacted with his daughter who, by the way, is a talented singer like her dad. Still Bill is clean fun and such an important film to see because singers from his time will not be around forever.
Nerdcore Rising (2008)
I Love Nerds!
Like I said, I love nerds. Nerd Core Rising, that is. This film is so funny and original that I could barely contain myself in the seat. It's funny because it's about a guy that is so clued in on a genre of music that is typically not listened to by people like him. He raps about the most random stuff, but relevant if your a fan of say, Magic the Gathering? I also liked that I got taken on this adventure and followed him on his second tour. I just love Mc Frontalots reactions when he finds out that he actually has fans and a female groupie. How cute! Also, The one and only true geek rapper himself, Weird Al gives some cool comments about the whole nerd core history. Anyway, check this film out. It is wildly entertaining and informative about a new culture of artist that are sure to rise up on us faster than those spell cards. Don't front, check out Nerd Core Rising!
