Crazy Heart
Country Time Lemon Fade
Trailers & Mo | Official Website
Jeff Bridges IS Bad Blake, a famous, but fallen country music star who looks like Kris Kristofferson, acts like Jeffery Lebowski and sorta sings like a Fabulous Baker Boy. His heart is crazy!!! Guess it is or else why would Thomas Cobb name his book so? Reduced to playing in bumblef&ck bowling alleys, Blake still takes whatever his manager (James Keane) can get him, to supplant his whiskey and ciggy regimen. What a life... that's going nowhere (wait, is this Tender Mercies, which also stars Robert Duvall???)! Add his bitter bettyness for the grand success of his protégé Tommy Sweet (a sweet Colin Farrell, returning to his Sonny Crockett hair roots) and what you got is a recipe for a downward spiral spiraling even mo downward and eastbound and downward!!!! BUT THEN a young single mother walks into his life (Franken Gyllenhaal) and gives him purpose, which is good for his character, but ultimately lames-y for our story. Blake is a good man, but of course his wicked ways will somehow catch up with him and screws everythings up. That basically happens, but he wises up for the better, roll the credits, and maybe hand him an Oscar that his career deserves, but not necessarily for his Heart work, which is absolutely fine, juss not any better than him as El Duderino. Then again, we'd be happy if he did win for this instead of Clooney who plays Clooney, but a Clooney who flys a lot!! WOW, how mindblowing Clooney!!!
