Favorite Quote:
"...and hey, I met you. You are not cool." - Almost Famous
your suspicions that (A) the Rolling Stones are timeless, and (B) they're all having a great time.

Of course, if you don't know the Rolling Stones well, chances are your enjoyment of the film will be severely limited. This may sound strange to some, but I personally don't even like concerts that much – give me a story to invest in any day – which is why I've been ambivalent about concert films like U2 3D before. But as a huge fan of the Rolling Stones (and Scorsese for that matter), Shine a Light is one big happy exception.

Movie Grade: B+

Synopsis:

A Rolling Stones documentary that focuses on the two concerts from the group's current "A Bigger Bang" tour as well as historical and contemporary behind-the-scenes footage and interviews. A recent concert in Austin, Texas, was also filmed.
