Here's a CNN movie review of Stoned
'Stoned'
Reviewed by Owen Gleiberman
How far gone is Brian Jones (Leo Gregory), the arrogant and substance-addled Rolling Stones guitarist? He's so far gone in "Stoned" that when he begins to miss recording sessions, retreating to his wood-beamed country manor, somebody scolds him by holding up Keith Richards as an example of responsible drug use.
Directed by the veteran British producer Stephen Woolley, "Stoned" is constructed around the thesis that Jones, who was found dead in his swimming pool in 1969, was murdered -- that he essentially got himself killed by degenerating into the single most noxious jerk in the history of rock stardom. He treats his mistress like a whore, drinks himself into a vicious daze, and humiliates his bloke of a builder, Frank Thorogood (Paddy Considine). His real addiction is to being an a--hole.
Thorogood allegedly confessed on his deathbed (in 1993) that he killed Jones, and while the movie convinces us that this might have happened, it never truly reveals who Brian Jones was before he fell apart. His indulgence, and his demise, play out in a void.
EW Grade: C

Not very flattering towards Elmo. Haven't seen the movie so wouldn't know if it was fair or not. Then again how would I know anyway?

Every review I've seen so far is very inconsistent, some say it paints a good protrait, other's say it don't, some say the acting is good, some say the dialogue is boring, etc. The only way to know for sure is see it for yourself. I learned a long time ago to not rely on professional critics. |

JB, you are full of life, however,
I'll take Belichik & Brady over Saban & Culpepper anytime.
What were they thinking not picking up Drew Brees?
I'll grant you Culpepper will have better nautical engagements.
Remember, you stick with tried and true too long,
you become black & blue in a hurry in football.

I respect what the Ppats accomplished....but it is time for us to finally win another Super-Bowl.....I see it in 3 yrs!!! |

I see a snow plow operator on a field
and the Phins lose....
Seriously, it's great to see some other team in the AFC become stronger, as it's certainly not the other participants in the division.
Will you take Mike Lowell back as he is stiff as a cod?
