This week proves that rock music’s not dead, its stars are just either pompous gasbags or cartoon lions. For the former category, you have Criterion’s 4K release of The Last Waltz, where great music and great filmmaking duke it out with Scorsese’s Robbie Robertson fixation and with the presence of Eric Clapton; at least fellow shithead Van Morrison actually puts on a good show. And for both categories at once, you have Bono’s performance as rock-star lion Clay Calloway in Sing 2. His role, among other things (including a surprise appearance by Spike Jonze, always a great presence whenever he decides to act), helps to elevate (heh) Sing 2 from being lousy, crassly calculated kids-movie slop like its predecessor to being passable, crassly calculated kids-movie slop.
