Crazy Heart

Crazy Heart

Jan 31, 2010

I didn't know much about this movie before seeing it. I read one review about it and knew I wanted to see it. Jeff Bridges won the Best Actor Golden Globe for his performance as Bad Blake and now I know why. He is fantastic in it. Well maybe Amazing would be a better word to describe his performance. He made a drunk lonely washed up country singer someone that you feel for. There was something about Jeff that I can't put my finger on but if you could bottle it up and sell it everyone would be a fantastic actor.

Crazy Heart was written beautifully. You really do feel for Bad Blake and where his life ended up playing hole in the wall bars from town to town. Maggie Gyllenhaal played Jean who met Bad during an interview and Robert Duvall plays his friend back home. Colin Farrell also had a small part in the movie. Who knew Jeff Bridges and Colin Farrell could sing!!!

Great movie from start to finish. If you were already a Jeff Bridges fan (and for those who aren't go watch The Big Lebowski again) you will love him more after this performance.

Magnificent Movie!!!!
