Here I am with a brand new column! It's summer and I think we all deserve to be entertained by nice music films while we sip an iced green tea!
Here my suggestions:
The film follows the adventures of Chili Palmer, a disenchanted film producer who tries the music industry. He meets and romances a widow of a music executive on the way and he also deals with LA gangsters.
Be Cool (2005), directed by F. Gary Gray, is a collective film. The audience can enjoy this film also just trying to identify the actors behind each character. Believe me, this is not a great film, but it's entertaining. I think that in some way it offers a reflection about the music industry that it is not so granted.
The positive side? Uma Thurman and John Travolta together after Pulp Fiction. The negative side? The happy ending.
This film follows the story of a schoolteacher's struggle to teach violin to inner-city Harlem kids.
I know, we have heard this story a thousand of times. Still, it's a story with good feelings, good music and an amazing Meryl Streep. I think that this story is in some way the "first" of its genre, it was directed by Wes Craven in 1999. So why don't go back in time to re-discover an underestimated cult?
The positive side? A fantastic Michael Angarano when he was young. The negative side? The fast ending.
Have you seen any of these films? What do you think?
