	Tommy (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tommy is told to forget what he saw and heard, and as a result becomes deaf, dumb, and blind.
		Unlike other films of rock operas (such as Pink Floyd's The Wall) the album is not dubbed over the film; the different actors sing the songs instead of The Who.
		For the most part the original ideas of Tommy's unique perception (being that Tommy can experience the world in a spiritual manner that average humans cannot with all of their senses being assaulted by other sensations) are only hinted at in the film version.

	Juwanna Mann- Tommy Davidson & Kim Wayans
		Tommy's perspective on the film is that it gave him a tremendous amount of freedom to make a "stunningly funny" movie.
		As Tommy said, "Who we think we are has nothing to do with what we are about." Often when many of us attain our goals, we are not the people we were when the journey began; that's really what JM is all about.
		Tommy first saw the film as a character driven comedy before it was made and after seeing it in the theater he noted the added dimension of a moral story that addresses the importance of a "healthy balance" in one's life.

	Tommy Keene bios
		Tommy Keene is the undiscovered songwriter of our time, yet he's still at the peak of his powers.
		Maybe the real inherent beauty behind Isolation Party, his fifth full length album, was Tommy's ability to reflect his influences and heartfelt emotions within the songs while mixing the impassioned atmosphere of his live performances to tape; somewhat of a constant challenge in the studio for Tommy.
		Tommy recalls, "He said something like, 'Well, maybe one day you'll make better use of this than I can.'" Tommy still has the guitar to this day and has used it on every studio recording.

	Rize (2005): Tommy the Clown, Larry, Dragon, Swoop - PopMatters Film Review
		Indeed, the film's strongest element is its vivid visuals -- the bodies are dynamic, the skin glistening, the costumes clownish, and the faces painted into stark, self-asserting abstractions.
		At the forefront of krump is Tommy the Clown (born Tommy Johnston), the "ghetto celebrity" credited here with originating the style in his performances at children's birthday parties during the 1990s.
		The urgency of this movement is visible in the film's spurty rhythms.

		The film works as a comedy and, surprisingly, becomes a touching, even heartbreaking story as it unspools.
		She catches the eye of young Tommy (Michael Pitt), takes him under her wing and shows him the ways of rock.
		Selfishly, Tommy Gnosis becomes a star with their material, and Hedwig's manager (Andrea Martin) is mandated to book gigs in every town where Tommy plays (this leads to a great moment when Hedwig throws open a door during one of her shows, revealing Tommy playing one of her songs next door).

	CBC.ca - Arts - Film - Dead Reckoning
		Tommy Lee Jones’s big-screen directorial debut, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, fits snugly in the Peckinpah mould: it’s elegiac, allegorically ambitious, brutal and well suited to exploring social issues particular to our globalist age.
		The film is loosely based on the case of a Latino-American murdered by U.S. Marines near the Mexican border in 1997.
		Earlier in the film, Norton roughs up a group of Mexicans trying to sneak into Texas; he subsequently runs afoul of the same bunch on the other side of the border.

	EI > Interviews > Anthony Flessas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		However, this is not a ‘gay film.’ Flessas asked me if I wanted to know “Why Gay films suck?” He pointed out that you have AIDS dramas or romantic comedies where the gay character is the comic relief.” In Flessas’ work, the characters are regular human beings struggling through their day to day of life.
		Tommy is a twenty-something young man trying to decide who he is and where he is going.
		What I got out of the film was Tommy finding the courage to accept that he was gay and come out of the closet.

		Luckily for Tommy, his problems are recognized and he goes into play therapy while his mother talks over the family’s problems with a psychiatric social worker.

	DVD Times - Tommy Boy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		When returning home from college, Tommy is told by his Dad, that he has a new woman in his life who we find out is the young and beautiful Beverly (Bo Derek).
		However Tommy stands in her way of selling the family run business and leaving with all the profits, so with his father’s long-term business associate Richard (David Spade), they go on the road in an attempt to save the company.
		As you’d expect, the film works best when the two leads are going at each other’s throats, so it’s not surprising the pace lags a little when some of the supporting players are going through the motions.

	LatinoReview.com - The Latin Perspective On All Films! - Film/Movie Reviews - The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
		Pepper the co-star of the film (with Tommy Lee Jones) has a pivotal role, the entire film rests on his instincts, and like most actors rarely is one given the opportunity to shine like he does here.
		The film runs a bit long and there are some disturbingly bad special effects that will go unmentioned so as not to spoil the plot, however, had this film been made circa 1975 it would have been remembered as a classic.

	Tommy (1975): Roger Daltrey, Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed - PopMatters Film Review
		While Tommy's malady symbolizes the plight of the consumer audience, his commodification as the Pinball Wizard messiah defines and limits Tommy as a human being (much as consumerism reduces people merely to the status of consumers).
		The sequence conflates Tommy's personal revelation with the larger cultural issue of the loss of meaning: the failure of the "father" equals the lies of history.
		Tommy uses a pop-cult product for personal use, for his own method of engagement with the world.

	Tommy Movie Review at Hollywood Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		This film is a rock opera about a deaf, dumb, and blind boy who becomes a pinball celebrity.
		The lengthy prologue details the romance between Tommy's parents (played by Robert Powell and Ann-Margret) and the death of his father at the close of WWII.
		The use of pinball as a metaphor is less than compelling and we're never sure whether Tommy is the hero or antihero of the story.

		Watching his latest work it is clear why the director is more comfortable making films on his home turf: Prairie Giant is a model of the rousing, social-realist filmmaking advocated by NFB founder John Grierson.
