A fairly convincing version of what might have happened.

Even The Doors looked like a model of clarity next to this.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 14, 2006

A flat riff on Jones's short life. You'll get the highlights but no sense of what made him special -- or what really haunted him.

| Apr 6, 2006

More than just another dead-celeb biopic, this is an effective evocation of the era in which Jones lived and died.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2006

Stoned manages to take a potentially intriguing depiction of popular music genius and water it down into a story of predictable egos and trite love triangles.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 24, 2006

Almost so bad it's good. Almost.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 24, 2006

Played with such an utter lack of charisma by Leo Gregory, Jones comes across as a rocker so drug- and ego-addled he doesn't have enough sense to lie down.

With its low budget, unadventurous script and notable lack of any Stones recordings it has the look and feel of a 온라인카지노추천 movie.

The good news here is that Woolley and his writers have taken the mystery surrounding Jones' tragic 1969 death as their main interest, and have adopted as fact the long-cherished rumor that the blond rocker's drowning was a case of murder.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 24, 2006

Apart from Considine, the actors all deliver superficial performances beneath several layers of slathered-on Summer Of Love drag, and Woolley's use of multiple film stocks and flash-cut editing jumbles together a bunch of '60s filmmaking clichés without

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Mar 23, 2006

Most of the movie is a tired sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll cliché, and many of the performances are so bad as to be laughable.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 23, 2006

It's fun, for a while, to hang out with the temperamental rock star. But in the end, we can't wait to get away from the man.

Full Review | Mar 23, 2006

The film fails to establish Jones' significance to the band or why his death should be seen as anything other than just another rock 'n' roll casualty.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 23, 2006

Stoned, Stephen Woolley's convoluted docudrama examining the final weeks in the life of the guitarist Brian Jones ... stalls in its own laborious accumulation of detail.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 23, 2006

Mines the story of Rolling Stones co-founder Brian Jones for a note-perfect pastiche of Swingin' '60s style, but is less satisfying in other departments.

Full Review | Mar 23, 2006

In the end, a Stones (or a Jones) movie with no Stones songs is itself a bit like death by misadventure.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 23, 2006

It never truly reveals who Brian Jones was before he fell apart. His indulgence, and his demise, play out in a void.

| Original Score: C | Mar 22, 2006

The rock hero starts out dead and so does the movie.

| Mar 21, 2006

The herky-jerky editing is meant to indicate tumultuous excitement, switching back and forth in time, but the effect is grating and frustratingly unilluminating.

Here's one rock pic that won't fade away.
