I saw a movie last night that stayed with me all day today......

His father Lloyd had his Sea Hunt, his mom Jean who passed last year acted and wrote for Bob Hope. He may be forever known simply as THE DUDE from the Big Lebowski or perhaps on this site as the benevolent owner in Seabiscuit.

While playing the music of Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett and singing his way into the hearts of the audience Jeff Bridges gives a certain Oscar nominating performance as Bad Blake in Crazy Heart taking a set of common themes of life's lessons and choices while spooling them into uncommon truths. I was shocked by how well he plays guitar and sings while acting the rest of the role into rarified air.....

Whatever you have to do find a big ole theatre to take it all in, do yourself a favor and see this movie....

I don't get it, pretty much same here in Wash DC, 3 screens in 30 miles but Saw XX is on 6 times a night in 10 cities. Million Dollar Baby was like this...

Title track plays here continuously......http://www.foxsearchlight.com/crazyheart/

I think it is due for a wider release in the next few weeks.

Apparently written and shot by a first time director Scott Cooper. Whole movie done in 24 days for bupkus so hollywood suits didn't expect much.
