Could have been so much better. Good concept, though.

It's tough to catch lightning in a bottle twice.

It's not the best around, but it's damn good.

It's about gosh darn time that Jeff Bridges was celebrated for his talent. AND.... it couldn't have happened in a better time than with Crazy Heart.

As a reviewer it is my duty to inform you of things you 'must' view when it comes to great movies.  As someone that enjoys films, it's imperative that I direct you to 'epic' films so that you're viewing experience is seasoned and as an audience member it will be your job to season your tastes in films through these 'epic' journeys.

With several interesting extra features and a solid presentation on Blu-ray, this is one release action fans should strongly consi...[Read More]

For most studios that are re-releasing movies on Blu-ray it's completely an effortless task. Repackage the movie, add still menus and go from there.
