It smacks of Robert Duvall's Oscar winner, Tender Mercies. Bridges plays a drunken country has-been redeemed by a good woman. Colin Farrell co-stars as a rising country star mentored by the Bridges character, with Maggie Gyllenhaal as a reporter who...
It seems that Fox Searchlight, desperate to have at least one film out by the end of the year (looks like they oddly don’t have enough on their plate this season) will be bumping Crazy Heart up to a December 16 release date. It’s a little romantic drama of sorts, starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and the [...]

BEST PICTURE: After building up amazing early buzz, "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire" finally burst out of the derby gate this past week at the AFI Fest. And it emerged as a major contender in many top races.

"Sesame Street" is about to enter its 40th season and it's making us feel, well, all of our own 40 years. As a little TV Junkie we were plunked down in front of that show as soon as we could sit up and the power of this incredible show has stayed with us all these years.

The Sesame Street of today looks quite different from when it launched back in November 1969. And more changes are coming up in the year ahead.

Fox Searchlight is suddenly screening Crazy Hearts, the Jeff Bridges character drama that Hollywood Reporter columnist Steven Zeitchik has described as a country-music version of The Wrestler, and frequently -- two showings today and a couple more tomorrow and/or Friday, a friend reports. But so far no screenings are slated for the New York crowd. Or so I'm concluding due to a lack of response after...
We knew Fox Searchlight was in love with "Crazy Heart," the low-budget country music drama that stars Jeff Bridges as a faded, booze-fueled singer named Bad Blake who's trying to get his career back on track. Written and directed by...
One of the things I've never quite understood about videogames turned movies is how you're supposed to play them. But I miss Jake Gyllenhaal so here he is all acrobatic like in The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time More Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Info I haven't yet read any internet opinions about this new trailer, so haven't a clue what the consensus is but if it's hugely negative, I'm...
