"I was completely put-off on this movie by the previews/trailer and you would think that being it was directed by one the best modern directors (Ridley Scott) and starring one of the best modern actors (Russel Crowe) of our time that I would have seen it earlier..

All the sudden there is a shift in tone and then it seems there are striving for a Doris Day/Rock Hudson Romantic Comedy and it just turned out slightly off. So many mis-steps.... "

"Idolator passes along the news that networks are feverishly trying to counterprogram against “the allegedly low starpower of the veteran rocker” at the center of Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show, Tom Petty. But how could that be? Peter Bogdanovich spent four hours telling us that Petty is the biggest, most beloved, and most important rock star IN THE WORLD. I simply refuse to believe that a work-for-hire hagiography might have embellished the appeal of the man who commissioned it. If Spike TV execs think their competitive eating special will out-draw “Free Fallin’”, then I can only assume they didn’t see Bogdanovich’s movie.

"What you should see but may not know is showing this weekend: Does Your Soul Have a Cold? by Mike Mills (Thumbsucker), a documentary about depression and the pharmaceutical invasion of Japan playing on IFC. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford by Andrew Dominik, the best movie to come out of Hollywood you’ll have to strain to find. And a four and a half hour documentary by cinema legend Peter Bogdanovich on none other than… Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers?
