Shine a Light- 8/10
If you're a Rolling Stones fan you'll likely love this flick. It's a concert/documentary film. Directed by Martin Scorsese and filmed during two performances at the Beacon Theater in NY. Yes the Stones are old. At the time of the filming I think Mick was 64 and Watts was 67, I hope if I get there I'm half alive as these guys appear. And while Kieth looks near dead, probably should be dead, he isn't. It's been said conventional weapons can't kill Richards, I starting to think that not just a joke. I'm a fan. I've seen them 14 times (a number I thought was a lot until I met a couple in Hawaii in the second row on the second night seeing them for the 63rd time.) Anyway I liked it. I would have preferred a few changes to the set list. Factory Girl was discussed and I would have liked to of heard Sweet Virginia live again. Also I think this is the first time I've ever seen a Stones performance that didn't include Gimme Shelter. Then again can't remember the last concert I went to and didn't leave thinking "why didn't he/she/they play______"
