I approach each film hoping to enjoy it, and after I see it, I'll post here how much I did enjoy it. I'll try to explain why I liked it, or why not... but some times I'll be lazy and won't explain, I'll just give the star rating.

Soul Power *****
Director: Jeffrey Levy-Hinte
Year: 2008
Cinematographers/Camera Operators: Paul Goldsmith, Kevin Keating, Albert Maysles, Roderick Young
A great music festival documentary, beautifully photographed, with great personalities coming through on their own. I was totally fascinated and ready to sit through the full set lists of all the artists, disappointingly only a few extra performances were included as extras on the DVD, but hopefully in the future there will be more.
As far as concert films go, I think this is actually better-made than Woodstock, although arguably less important historically. So maybe I would put this as my second favorite concert film of all time. Seriously, excellent.
