Crazy Heart

I was going to be all productive tonight but I got sucked in by a moovie...I love it when that happens. I've had Crazy Heart sitting around for a week and popped it on during dinner. I had every intention of turning it off after I was done eating and doing some actual work...but I just couldn't. It was such a beautiful story so well told...Jeff Bridges as Bad gave such a great performance that I only saw the singer...I only saw the character. It's rare when that happens...the film just hooked me and I couldn't not watch. And I'm not a country fan..not at all, but I loved the music and will probably buy the soundtrack. I was even more blown away when I found out that Jeff Bridges and Colin Farrell sang their own songs. He sings, he dances, he's a photographer...really his website says it all.

Here's a clip of Bridges singing the main theme song written by Ryan Bingham and T-Bone Burnett. If you haven't seen the film, don't watch it here. It'll mean so much more when you see it in context.



And here's a link to Ryan Bingham singing the same song.

  1. Couldn't agree more about this one. One of the best recent examples of an actor truly becoming a character. Between this and In Bruges my opinion of Colin Farrell has definitely been on the upswing lately!
