Forget almost, Crowes Famous is perfect film
It is truly amazing when a film captures the audience members’ collective heart; when every person sitting in the theater can’t help but feel all the trivial pains and pleasures put forth in the story. Unfortunately for audiences everywhere, this only occurs once in a great while. However, it did in many theaters this weekend when writer and director Cameron Crowe’s “Almost Famous” caught its first batches of well-deserved attention. The movie, Crowe’s first film since his double Academy Award-nominated “Jerry Maguire,” is set in one of rock ’n’ roll’s most cardinal eras, the 1970s - back when everything was on vinyl.
