Crazy Heart

Jeff Bridges plays Bad Blake, a lonely alcoholic country singer with a heart of gold.  This was a 3 star movie elevated to 4 stars by the terrific acting.  I'm not sure if Bridges should've beat out George Clooney for the Oscar this year, but there is no denying that he was great in this one.  Maggie Gyllenhaal was also at her best as the reporter interviewing Blake who ultimately ends up falling for the down-and-out crooner, and it's always nice to see Colin Farrell (albeit in a small supporting role).


4 out of 5 stars
