Crazy Heart. (2010, 111 minutes, R, drama) It has been said that Jeff Bridges' performance is a tour de force, a fact proven by his critical wins, including the Golden Globe. I am really looking forward to see if it really delivers while feeling that it will be along the same lines as Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler last year. The movie tells the story of a broken down country singer who has led a hard life on the road filled with drinks and bad marriages. He sees a chance at redemption in a journalist played by Maggie Gyllennhaal. On top of that, I like the music I have heard so far from it.
Also opening this week, but not near me:
- Ajami
- District B13: Ultimatum
- Shinjuku Incident
- The Korean
- Red Riding Trilogy
- Terribly Happy
- Tony
Box Office Predictions
For seven weeks Avatar has ruled supreme. Does it have the strength to take eight? Why not? It has made it this far, well above and beyond expectations, so why not another week? It already has the international and national all-time records in its pocket, it can pretty much do whatever it wants! I think the most significant challenge will come from From Paris with Love; although I suspect the R rating will hold it back, it will top off in the high teens.
Here is how I think it could play out:
| Rank | Title | Box Office |
| 1 | Avatar | $26 million |
| 2 | From Paris with Love | $17 million |
| 3 | Dear John | $14 million |
| 4 | Edge of Darkness | $9 million |
| 5 | When in Rome | $7 million |
| 6 | The Tooth Fairy | $5 million |
| 7 | The Book of Eli | $4.5 million |
| 8 | Crazy Heart | $4million |
| 9 | The Lovely Bones | $3 million |
| 10 | Sherlock Holmes | $3 million |
