Sounds LikeON THE NEW ALBUM "BASED ON A TRUE STORY"

LA-UNDERGROUND.NET
"Based On A True Story is easily one of the best records of the year"

WEB IN FRONT - 4 TOP LOCAL ALBUMS OF THE YEAR
"stands as some of the finest songwriting of 2008: seriously have you heard a better single than “Missed Opportunities”? Exactly." "The Movies outdid themselves with Based on a True Story"

BUZZBANDS.LA / Kevin Bronson (LA TIMES) - FAVORITE LA ALBUMS OF 2008
"Defies categorization."

CLASSICAL GEEK THEATRE
"One of the year's finest records sees release just before the annual cut-off , surely wreaking havoc on every LA writer's "Best of 2008" lists..." "Sonically ... remarkably cohesive."

THE LAist
"Abnormally epic"
"They are simply legendary in Los Angeles." "The band is entirely idealized—purported to be larger than life." "All in all, Based On A True Story is a dazzling synth-heavy testament to, what has proved to be, an interminable reign over the fringe."

FLAVORPILL
"Earlier this year, the quintet released 'Based on a True Story' to glowing reviews, and their energetic, irresistible live show has generated some pretty big buzz."

THE DELI – LA
""Based..." is the kind of record that catches your attention and does not let go."

NOW AVAILABLE AT AMOEBA RECORDS & SHOWS


ON THE LIVE SHOW:


YOU SET THE SCENE - TOP 20 LIVE SHOWS OF 2008
"The Movies @ Spaceland on 12/15/08 – They all have their highlights, so it’s really hard to pick out one Movies show as the best, so I’m going with the most recent."

LOUDVINE.COM
"seriously I felt like a 13 year old at his first rock show" "The Movies are that good, and one of their live performances, will last a lot longer then just about anything you find in box with a bow."

AMATUER CHEMIST - (On Spaceland Residency 12/2008)
"The Movies had Spaceland in the palm of their hand."

CLASSICAL GEEK THEATRE
"Anyone at Spaceland on Monday night was reminded why The Movies are one of the most treasured bands in Los Angeles. Jesus Christos, did they pull-out the big guns."
