Album Notes Personnel: Van Morrison; Roger Waters, The Chieftains. This strange concept for a retrospective--collecting the many times Van Morrison's music has been used in popular films--pairs obvious Morrison classics such as "Gloria" and "Wild Night" with lesser-known gems such as "Queen of the Slipstream" and "Irish Heartbeat." The question one has to wonder--given the availability of superior hits collections--is why? Perhaps Martin Scorsese's use of "Comfortably Numb"--taken from a riveting performance with Roger Waters and the Band at the fall of the Berlin Wall--in 2006's THE DEPARTED was the necessary nudge. AT THE MOVIES also includes live versions of "Caravan," "Domino," "Moondance," and "Into the Mystic" that should satisfy hardcore fans who already have the studio albums. And although AT THE MOVIES ultimately confuses, newcomers should find some thrills here. This is Van the Man, after all.
