After a brief theatrical run, the documentary “Paul McCartney: Man on the Run” premiered Friday on Prime Video. If you are a fan of McCartney’s post-Beatles band Wings, this is the story of that group, which sold a lot of records throughout the 1970s. American director Morgan Neville has distinguished himself with several compelling docs
Baby you can drive my car, and if you did, you would discover something fab. My 2007 Saab comes with a bonus feature — a “big screen” (for the time) entertainment centre. Even better, it came pre-loaded with all these “XM” satellite radio options, cutting age audio for my 9-3 Aero’s Bose speakers. Nearly two
I’ve always been a big fan of Albert and David Maysles. The “direct cinema” documentatians went on to make Gimmie Shelter (1970) and Grey Gardens (1975).

The Queen’s 70-year reign spanned from well before Beatlemania through Brexit. With the passing of
There will be many who watch Peter Jackson’s The Beatles Get Back, currently rolling out over three consecutive days on Disney+, who will say six hours is not enough. Having watched the second two-hour installment, as John Lennon says on “Revolution,” count me “in — out.” It begins with such drama. George Harrison has walked
Who wouldn’t want to spend six hours with The Beatles? Even if it is in January of 1969? Watching director Peter Jackson’s documentary “The Beatles Get Back” is a trip, especially if, like me, you’re old enough to have lined up on Yonge Street at 8 am on a weekend morning to climb the stairs
