I enjoyed it as I do with most movies about the music industry. But
Pacino as Spector wasn't the central character. It's Mirren's portrayal
of Linda Kennedy Baden the defense attorney in the trial that the story
revolves around. Pacino did a reasonable job of showing how quirky
Spector is.
NBC's "Revolution" returns tonight for some more comedy. I wonder if
they took to heart the criticism that in a post apocalyptic world one
wouldn't have a hairdresser and washing machine handy while running from
warlords.
