I'm bustin' out of this one horse town this weekend to go to Calgary (a six or seven horse town at least!) to see Oasis and Ryan Adams live!  So instead of a movie review this weekend --- I'd love to share some awesome news from the Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon!

The Rocker --- review by Craig the Movie Geek

Dir:  Peter Cattaneo  Stars:  Rainn Wilson, Christina Applegate, Teddy Geiger, Emma Stone

Synopsis:  A failed drummer is given a second chance at fame.

Here is a great concept that is ruined by a wholly unoriginal treatment.  The Rocker should have been a fun send up of loud and sweaty rock n' roll, but instead it comes off as a bland colour-by-numbers snoozefest.
