★★★★ At this point, it would appear that nearly every major chart-topping megastar has delivered a jukebox musical of their greatest hits, a movie biography, or an immersive museum collecting artifacts of their greatest achievements. Accomplishing all three would be a herculean task that few musical acts would dare to approach. Enter: Pavement, the self-proclaimed … Continue reading Film Review: Pavements
