Crazy Heart
When a heart goes crazy, things can get a bit strange. For instance, it could only pump blood to your buttocks, or make you fall madly in love with an electric fence. And while the crazy heart in this drama doesn't cause its owner to become an objectum sexual, it does cause him to lead an unsavory lifestyle.
When a down-and-out, alcoholic country singer, Bad Blake (Jeff Bridges), is interviewed by a journalist (Maggie Gyllenhaal) about his once illustrious singing career, he finds himself falling in love with her. However, when his hard-drinking lifestyle becomes hazardous to her and her young son, Bad Blake must reassess his priorities.
Turning in one of the best performances of his career, Jeff Bridges brings the volatile vocalist and his music to vivid vivacity. Unfortunately, when you remove alcohol from the veins of a country singer, all you're left with is an inbred racist. (Green Light)
