Big Star ImageThe highly anticipated film about the amazing band Big Star, Nothing Can Hurt Me, is now in wide release.  Or at least as much as a film about a brilliant yet tragic and influential indie band could ever be in theaters.  Many writers have commented on the film and we have collected a few of those reviews here.  Once we see this movie, you can expect our review on Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative!  If you have a review of the film that you would like to share, let us know at drjwudr at gmail!
