By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB“Jersey Boys” is Clint Eastwood’s effort to put the hugely successful Broadway musical of the same name on the big screen.
It is the story of Frankie Valli and the original N.J., through their trying to survive in the big time. The music of the Four Seasons plays throughout the film, making it more than worth the price of admission.
The story is told by each of the four band members, cutting away at times to talk straight to the camera.

By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB“Begin Again” is a simple movie, motivated by the power of music – but it works. The story is about the redemption of two down-on-their-luck strangers and what they get from teaming up together.
Dan Mulligan (a scruffy Mark Ruffalo), was just dumped as a music producer from the company he founded. In his drunken sorrow, he stumbles into an East Village bar and hears Greta (Keira Knightley), a young woman who writes songs in her spare time, singing. Her soulful song inspires him (in a very clever scene adding imagined backup musicians) and he attempts to coax Read More
