A fading country music singer gets his life and career back on track when he meets a female reporter.
Bad Blake is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who's had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can't help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean, a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. As he struggles down the road of redemption, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man's crazy heart. (Fox Searchlight)
****: "A small movie perfectly scaled to the big performance at its center." —A. O. Scott, New York Times
****: " Jeff Bridges is a virtual certainty to win his first Oscar, after four nominations." —Roget Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
****: " Gyllenhaal is charming and makes unexpected choices in her performance, but this is Bridges' show, and he's as Best Actor-worthy as he's ever been." —Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
"On a par with Bridges' acting, and a sine qua non for Crazy Heart's success, is the excellent music he sings." —Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

This famous film-noir murder mystery features an inventive twist: the victim as "detective," desperately trying to solve his own murder.
With Edmond O'Brien, Pamela Britton, Luther Adler. Frank Bigelow .
Small-town accountant Frank Bigelow goes to San Francisco for a week's fun prior to settling down with fiancée Paula. After a night on the town, he wakes up with more than just a hangover; doctors tell him he's been given a "luminous toxin" with no antidote and has, at most, a week to live! Not knowing who did it or why, Bigelow embarks on a frantic odyssey to find his own murderer
"It’s a snappy mystery trapped in between murder and death, and it stands as one of the finest of the post-war B thrillers." —David Cornelius, E-Film Critic
