The jazz-music legend is recalled in Tuesday’s new “American Masters” documentary “Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool” on PBS (check local listings).
PBS’ ‘American Masters’ recalls jazz legend Miles Davis
BY JAY BOBBIN
There was, and is, no other sound like that of Miles Davis. Friends, relatives and collaborators remember the dynamic personality that translated into a singular musical style – honored with eight Grammys and induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame – in celebrated filmmaker Stanley Nelson’s “American Masters” documentary “Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool,” making its PBS debut Tuesday, Feb. 25 (check local listings). Quincy Jones, Carlos Santana, Wayne Shorter and recording-industry titan Clive Davis are among those who recall the tenderness and harshness that made the late Miles Davis (whose voice is re-created by actor Carl Lumbly) such a gifted enigma as a jazz icon and in his personal dealings. Also featured is someone who knew him as both colleague and father, his composer-producer son
Erin Davis. “What I got from him,” Erin recalls, “was, ‘If you want to be a musician, you have to be serious about it.’ Maybe not take myself seriously, but take it seriously. We had that little four-track (studio) in our house, and he would just tell me what kind of beat to program or something, and he would just play some chords on it. When I played in his band, it was a lot more nerve-wracking for me, (but) it was still the greatest experience.” Davis was married three times, the last to actress Cicely Tyson, and Grammy winner Marcus Miller – who also appears in the documentary – had a unique view of him from several perspectives. “I think as an African-American musician in the ’40s and ’50s, you had to have a shell, and he didn’t really step out of that shell very often,” Miller reflects. “He kept people at a distance, but once he felt comfortable, then it was a completely different thing.
“I played in his band for about two years,” adds Miller, “then I left, and I came back to compose and produce for Miles. The second time was when I really got to know him. Lots of times, it was just he and I. I had already recorded the track, and we were adding his trumpet to the already recorded music. And he was comfortable at this point enough so ... I would say to the engineer, ‘Please don’t start the music.’ I would just give him a look like, ‘Don’t press any buttons, because I’m getting ready to hear a story here.’ ” Davis’ popularity among his peers was clear to director Nelson, who says, “Even with as hard and abusive of a person that Miles could be, the musicians who played with him loved him. They came on in (for the film) because they all wanted to tell their stories about Miles.”

Matthew McConaughey’s Top 10 Movies
BY JAY BOBBIN
“Interstellar” (2014): Director Christopher Nolan’s challenging and very emotional sci-fi drama casts McConaughey as a farmer turned astronaut who travels across time and space via a wormhole.
“Dallas Buyers Club” (2013): McConaughey was a shoo-in for the Oscar he won for his transformational portrayal of an AIDS patient.
“Magic Mike” (2012): A lot of McConaughey is on view as he plays the mentor of a male stripper portrayed by Channing Tatum, whose actual experiences the film is based on.
“Mud” (2012):

gets down and dirty, in multiple ways, as a Southern fugitive who convinces two teens to help him.
“The Lincoln Lawyer” (2011): An effective McConaughey The “Gentlemen”
plays a defense attorney representing a felony-accused playboy (Ryan Phillippe).
“We Are Marshall” (2006): McConaughey is excellent in this true drama as the new football coach at a university that lost his predecessor and the team in a plane crash.

Inspired by an H.P. Lovecraft story, this horror tale casts Nicolas Cage as the head of a family that anticipates a tranquil new life after inheriting a stately home in Massachusetts. That situation lasts only so long, thanks to a meteorite that lands violently in their yard and has a pronounced effect on the area; it’s good for the vegetation, which suddenly becomes bountiful where it had been sparse, but not so great for the local water supply – nor for the newcomers, as their health soon reflects. Joely Richardson and Tommy Chong also are in the cast of the film, the first to be directed by Richard Stanley since his work on Marlon Brando’s version of “The Island of Dr. Moreau” almost 25 years earlier. ››› (Not rated: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)

The “leaving” potentially is from Earth in this sci-fi saga, about a man (Brian Silverman) who gets the opportunity to depart from a nearfuture Los Angeles that’s short on promise ... but only if he can locate the wife he left years earlier and convince her to go with him. The visa he has applied for back then is good for couples only, so both have to go, or neither can. Others harbor deep resentment of him for his behavior then, so they aren’t very helpful with information, giving him more challenges in finding the person who’s his literal ticket off the planet.

“THE CORRUPTED”
DOLITTLE
Silent Auction - 5:30pm in the Patriot
If anything was a sure box-office bet going into the past holiday movie season, this was it. The original animated movie was the sort of serendipity any studio wishes for, and Disney wanted to make sure its best foot was put forward on a sequel, which is why it took six years. Voiced again by Idina Menzel, Elsa has returned to her kingdom after getting her power to freeze under control. She’s still haunted by elements of her past, though, and she believes she might be able to change the fates of some of her ancestors by following the trail. Thus, she and her sister Anna (again sporting Kristen Bell’s voice) set off on their new quest. Of course, snowman Olaf also is along, with Josh Gad’s vocals giving him the now-expected dose of attitude. In fact, the entire voice cast is well-chosen, with fellow Broadway veterans Jonathan Groff and Santino Fontana also back, and “This Is Us” Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown making a significant contribution in a new role. There’s no “Let It Go” on the soundtrack this time, though that tune does get a reprise, but the new songs are appropriate and catchy enough. Plainly put, any “Frozen” fan will be satisfied here. ››› (PG: AS) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)
There are lots of murder suspects in this clever and excellently cast take on the drawing-room mysteries that have been so much the province of authors like Agatha Christie, and under the guidance of writerdirector Rian Johnson, the film offers some twists that make it its own creature. One surely is the presence of Daniel Craig as a charming and enigmatic detective who shows up to investigate the killing of a rich and famous novelist played by Christopher Plummer. He’s been slain during a New England family gathering for his birthday, so plenty of relatives fall under the detective’s very watchful eye ... including those played by Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans, Toni Collette, Michael Shannon and Don Johnson. The deceased man’s nurse helps in the probe, and that offers something of a preview of Craig’s final James Bond movie, since Ana de Armas also will be one of his leading ladies in “No Time to Die.” Oscar-nominated for its script, the film apparently will be yielding some sequels. DVD extras: two “making-of” documentaries; audio commentary by Johnson, cinematographer Steve Yedlin and actor Noah Segan; deleted scenes; cast and filmmaker Q&A; marketing gallery. ››› (PG-13: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)
