In Theaters Soon: "It Might Get Loud"

Rock documentaries are all the rage these days. And as a network who splits its loyalties between movies and music, quite frankly we couldn't be happier about it. But to be honest it has created something of a glut. (If we get one more 3D Disney tween concert movie shoved down our throats, we're not sure we can be held accountable for what follows.) But one thing the Jonas Brothers' movies do accomplish, however, is make us all the more grateful when the good stuff comes out. And It Might Get Loud, my friends, is the good stuff. (And don't be turned off by the fact that it's directed by An Inconvenient Truth's Davis Guggenheim. This is no powerpoint presentation.) The formula is simple. Take 3 of the most talented, creative and innovative electric guitarists in the world, get them in a room together and stand back. They play, they compare notes, and generally gush about the wonders of the guitar. As the one sheet said, the movie might not affect how you play guitar, but it will change how you listen. Not one to miss.

Opens Friday August 14th in LA/NY. (Image courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics)
