Oscar movie check-off list 01-25-10

I’ve been slacking on my Oscar buzz movie list. Luckily, I dragged my happy meal ass to see Crazy Heart at the Embarcadero Cinema after work on Friday. I was kind of skeptical about seeing such a movie on a Friday night. According to socially correct standards, one is supposed to go party and get plastered on a Friday night, right? But I think Jeff Bridges’s Bad Blake in Crazy Heart got boozed up enough for the entire world.

Again, I was skeptical about this film, but since Bridges won a Golden Globe (and a SAG Award), for his portrayal of a washed up country star, I figured I’d see it – and I was happy I did.

Bridges’s accolades are well-deserved. More than that, the film reinvigorated my love for country music of the non-Taylor Swift/Carrie Underwood variety. Granted, I do appreciate today’s country; but the gritty storytelling of the down home country from the days of yore makes my heart joyfully sink. (and yes, I do like country – I spent most of my life in Texas, what can I say?) After the movie, I immediately went home to download the soundtrack.

Nonetheless, who’s ready to see Bridges reprise his role as Kevin Flynn in Tron Legacy?! I know I am!
