Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan: Brothers in Blues (2023)
*Feel-Good Blues!*
This is the story of how Stevie and Jimmie Vaughan's musical journey began, and how it unfolded, interwoven with how life was for kids growing up in the '50s and '60s as they did. Great memories from Billy Gibbons and several other mainstays of the early Texas rock and blues scene. Priceless early snapshots and music clips. Everyone should enjoy this movie!
Listening to Kirby Warnock narrating this will give you a sense of the warmth and close-knit feeling of growing up in Texas. Mentioning the places the boys played while very young and as they began to achieve fame brings Texas to life. If you loved them from the beginning, it will respark that joy. If you are new to the Vaughan Brothers, get ready for a journey. Either way, you will always be glad you hopped onboard the Vaughan Brothers blues train.
The Vaughan Brothers got me through a rough decade with their feel-good blues. Thank you, boys. I'm forever grateful!
The Vanishing (1993)
Edge-Of-Your-Seat Time, folks!
I found this to be a great edge-of-your seat movie, pushed to the hilt by Jeff Bridges' creepy performance and the nerve-tearing music.
I am lucky to have a high threshold of "suspended disbelief", but even so, nothing seemed tremendously annoying or out-of-place in this movie. It actually seemed just like real life on a certain level -- at times I had unpleasant flashbacks of stuff from articles on the BTK Killer and other obsessed lunatics who just so happened to have a "normal life" on the side. Jeff Bridges had this character type down cold.
Oh yeah, and my husband (who is very critical of movies we watch), actually liked this one. Kudos!
Sincerely, Susan
