The Stooges Movies

Filmmaker Drew Thomas brings California's popular Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival to the screen with a different kind of musical documentary that not only showcases performances by some of the hottest acts to take the stage, but offers interviews with such musical icons as Beck, Joshua Homme, Mos Def, and Perry Farrell as well. From English icon Morrissey's performance at the inaugural Coachella Festival back in 1999 to Canadian indie rockers the Arcade Fire's electric 2005 set, the musical acts featured here run the gamut from hip-hop to alternative and virtually everything in between. Other artists featured include the Pixies, the Flaming Lips, Kool Keith, Radiohead, Saul Williams, and Squarepusher. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

On August 25, 2003, Detroit rock & roll fans witnessed something that many would have thought impossible only a few months before: Iggy Pop reunited on stage with guitarist Ron Asheton and drummer Scott Asheton for the first Michigan performance in 30 years by the ferociously influential proto-punk band the Stooges. Roaring through a set of classic songs from the band's first two albums (and with former Minutemen bassist Mike Watt standing in for the late Dave Alexander), the Stooges played a gloriously wild and rapturously received show that fully lived up to its legend. Thankfully, a camera crew was on hand to capture the event on videotape. Iggy & The Stooges: Live in Detroit includes the songs "I Wanna Be Your Dog," "No Fun," "Loose," "Down on the Street," "TV Eye," "Fun House," and many more from a night of pure rock action. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
