Fun story, creative plot, unexpected turns and terrific acting. These points define enjoyable movies for me. Audience applause at the end, that doesn't happen very often.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Crazy Heart, A character movie

I didn't expect it to be very good. But, i was surprised at how much I l enjoyed the story. I expected a down and out singer to go through tough times and burn out. It was excellent acting and character development. A little speeded up in "real time" for the development of the love story and his addiction recovery, but a hopeful look at how people can reach bottom and turn their lives around. Good singing, songs and surprizing singing talent by Jeff Bridges and Colin Farrell.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Too Dark for Me
PostedAugust 9, 2008

The movie was too dark, depressing and endless. The resolution was unsatisfying and with no direction. The storyline was too long with one vile catastrophe after another. While I appear to be in the minority in this perception, my age group may reveal my repugnance. Too many repetitive violent scenes. Heath Ledger was exceptional, but too dark and humorless. I would have liked to see the Joker more cleverly fun, not just pure evil. His Joker represented death and carnage and I felt every bit of it. I didn't care for Maggie G as Rachel, nor Christian Bale as Batman. She was uncharismatic and he was stiff with no appeal as a "hero." The ending was awful, all "good" characters lost out, evil prevailed. That happens enough in real life.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
