The Caped Billboard Bandit of Chicago

In 1990, a single dad began seeing something he didn’t like in his neighborhood. So he took on a secret identity—and changed everything.

Love and Mercy (2014)

This is the story of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Shifting back and forth between the recording of Pet Sounds in the 1960s and Brian's 1980s life being controlled by a psychotherapist (played by Paul Giamatti).

Paul Dano portrays the younger Wilson and John Cusack the older Wilson.

I don't want to give more away because I went in blind. Suffice to say I'm not the biggest Beach Boys fan but walked away impressed and enlightened.

Police and Thieves in the street
(Oh yeah)
Scarin' the nation with
Their guns and ammunition

The next generation

Hear me

And all the crowd come in, a-day by day
No one stops it in anyway
All the peacemaker, third world officer
Hear what I say

I see the bright lights of Memphis
And the Commodore Hotel
And underneath a street lamp
I met a southern belle
She took me to the river
Where she cast a spell
And in that southern moonlight
She sang this song so well
