Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine in 'This Means War.'

20th Century Fox

A trio of appealing actors (Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine) is trapped in an action-spiked romcom (the guys are CIA agents vying for the same cute product analyzer) death-sentenced by a lack of humor, heart and a coherent reason for being. I could say more, but do I really need to?

“Is It True”

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
