Rolling Stones film 'Shine a Light' a Can’t Miss

MoviesI believe that someday well into the future, the fossilized remains of the Rolling Stones will still be playing arenas long after the band members are officially gone. That’s how strong their will is to perform. They’ve been playing together on and off — with a membership change here or there — since the early 1960s. And yet, there’s still something special about watching Mick, Keith, Charlie and the boys take the stage and strut their way through their legendary catalog. “Shine A Light” is proof that no less a chronicler of human events than Martin Scorsese believes the Rolling Stones are still worth investing a lot of time in. The film is a documentary shot at two shows at New York’s Beacon Theater during the group’s “A Bigger Bang” tour in 2006. Someday the celluloid from Scorsese’s movie will decompose, but the Stones will play on. (Paramount Vantage, opens Friday)
