Charlie Watts Movies
One of the most star-studded super-groups of the rock era, Willie and the Poor Boys included such luminaries as Charlie Watts, Jimmy Page, and Bill Wyman. Filmed at Fulham Town Hall in 1985, this concert film features the band joined by several special guests for a performance of such songs as "Poor Boy Boogie," "You Never Can Tell," "Baby Please Don't Go," and "These Arms of Mine." ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
After exploring the careers of the Band and Bob Dylan in The Last Waltz and No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, respectively, acclaimed director Martin Scorsese turns his lens on rock & roll legends the Rolling Stones for this feature focusing on two concerts from the band's 2006 A Bigger Bang tour. In addition to extensive coverage of the band's two-night stand at New York's Beacon Theater (an engagement that was staged as part of President Bill Clinton's lavish birthday bash), the film also features historical footage, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage from decades past. Oscar-winning cinematographer Robert Richardson (JFK and The Aviator) supervised photography for the film, with an impressive array of A-list talents, including Andrew Lesnie, John Toll, Ellen Kuras, Anastas Michos, Stuart Dryburgh, Declan Quinn, Emmanuel Lubezki, Robert Elswit, and Albert Maysles, stepping in to insure that the Beacon performances were covered from every angle possible. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
