While it makes us uncomfortable when we hear that a new venture from movie legend Morgan Freeman is called Digiboo, we still love the concept . Those Redbox kiosks all over the place that rent movies (without having to interrupt some pimpled teen text'ing their BFF) has just gone digital. Digiboo, partnering with Freeman's Revelations Entertainment, is launching a digital self service system akin...
I missed this trailer when it popped up, it's the trailer for Crazy Heart, a new film starring Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Colin Farrell and the superb Robert Duvall. It tells the story of an aged country music singer whose life has really broken him down and through his many marriages he now finds himself drinking too much and travelling from small time gig to small time gig. Then a journalist...
By Jenny DCF It’s no secret that I love Terry Gilliam’s work: the wild fantasy, the sarcastic wit, the characters who run the gamut from caricatures to real, well developed, believable people caught up in dreamlike adventures. His films are distinctive. The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus is vintage Gilliam: it has roots in Time Bandits and Baron Munchausen and even The Brothers Grimm (though...

Fox Searchlight has released the trailer for their latest Oscar caliber movie, “Crazy Heart.” Touted as the next “Wrestler”, Jeff Bridges plays Bad Blake, an alcoholic country singer that is trying to find inspiration for his glory days at the top of the charts.

These days so many movies are overly large, loud, glitzy, glamorous, quirky or strange that when a film comes out that appears to just a simple, well told story I can’t help but get excited. Crazy Horse appears to be such a movie and I am therefore quite excited about it. The trailer doesn’t give too much of the plot away (always a plus) but it’s clear that the film is about an aging...
Yesterday we saw the first poster and images from Crazy Heart, Fox Searchlight's film which stars Jeff Bridges as "a washed-up, alcoholic country singer who gets his life back on track thanks to a reporter-type (Maggie Gyllenhaal)." I've heard from a couple of people in the know that Bridges will be a contender for Best Actor with his performance. And lets not forget that Robert Duval and...
Fox Searchlight has debuted the trailer for Scott Cooper's Crazy Heart starring Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal as well as Colin Farrell and Robert Duvall. This is the indie film that a month ago no one even knew about.

Two interesting things got brought up by schmoes, FrancoYesca & corran horn: 1. Bridges channeling the f*ck out of Kris kristofferson 2. This really neat video of Bridges and Colin Farrell filming a scene for the movie....
"Secretary" is just that; it has all the elements of traditional movie romance (they meet, they become attached to each other, he can't come to terms with his feelings, she encounters a rival for her affections, etc.), but it's built around a relationship whose foundation is physical pain. It is a great testament to this film that the majority of an initially hostile audience stuck with...
It's no surprise that Crazy Heart hasn't been on a lot of people's radar. First of all, the title sounds like a tween romcom. But I can get past that. However, it's also about country music. Hey! Come back. I'm...

Starring: Christopher Plummer, Lily Cole, Tom Waits, Andrew Garfield, Heath Ledger and friends. ●●●○○ If you were to brainstorm words associated with the back catalogue of Terry Gilliam then you would almost certainly perfectly describe his latest piece. Indeed The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a typical example of both the positive and negative...
Ever since Robert De Niro gained 60 pounds to play washed-up boxing champ Jake LaMotta in the 1980 film "Raging Bull," actors have been using extreme weight loss and gain to help transform themselves into their on-screen characters. Colin Farrell appears to be the latest. A recent photo snapped in Spain shows an emaciated Farrell with hollowed cheeks, sunken chest and stick-thin legs. It is believed
