Berkreviews.com Movie Club - Crazy Heart (2009)

Following the Oscars, Corey  (@coreyrstarr) and Jonathan  (@berkreviews) decided to pick an actor who we love but had major gaps in their viewing history. Thus, March's theme is Best Actor goes to Jeff Bridges! That's right, The Dude himself is our focus for Movie Club this month and March gives them five weekends which means five different Jeff Bridges movies. Corey gets to pick first and then they alternate every week as per usual. 

Each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week initially spoiler free and then diving in completely after a spoiler warning. Before getting into the review Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all. 

Week 1 - Crazy Heart (2009)

The first episode for our study of Jeff Bridges films is the only time he has won an Oscar; Crazy Heart (2009). The film is directed and adapted by Scott Cooper and stars Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Colin Farrell. Corey started the month of strong with this pick as it showcases Bridges in what at least the academy deemed his best work. The plot summary according to IMDb.com reads, "A faded country music musician is forced to reassess his dysfunctional life during a doomed romance that also inspires him."
