Music

• Choristes, Les [The Chorus] directed by Christophe Barratier (2004)

  [7/10]

  "I generally don't like warm-fuzzy feel-good movies, but this one handles the plot well, develops the characters in a believable way, and has some pleasant music along the way."

• Coal Miner's Daughter directed by Michael Apted (1980)

  [6/10]

  "I would have liked the movie to present more of Loretta's personal philosophy as expressed in her songs and less of her hobnobbing with stars after her rise to fame."

• Step Up directed by Anne Fletcher (2006)

  [5/10]

  "When you watch a movie like Step Up, you wish the producers had just left out the lame, connect-the-scenes plot and just given us twice as much dancing."
