The breakdown is as follows:

And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean, a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. Bad also becomes the mentor to a contemporary country star, Tommy Sweet (Colin Farrell), while simultaneously struggling in the rising young crooner’s shadow.
The early word on the movie is Bridges delivers an outstanding performance that will garner some serious Oscar consideration. In fact, Fox Searchlight is giving Crazy Heart a limited release in select cities on December 16 so the movie will qualify for the 2010 Academy Awards.

Movie Review: The Men Who Stare at Goats

In The Men Who Stare At Goats, Ewan McGregor plays Bob Wilton, a lowly reporter from Ann Arbor, Michigan, who finds himself stationed in Kuwait, waiting to cross the border into Iraq to cover Operation Iraqi Freedom. With his personal life in shambles after his wife left him for a one-armed man, Wilton figures that he can head to Iraq, look like a hero with some Pulitzer Prize-winning journalism and win back the love of his life. Wilton has no idea, however, how his life is about to change when he meets up with a character named Lyn Cassady (George Clooney), who claims to be a recently re-activated member of the U.S. Army’s New Earth Battalion, a unit that trained its soldiers to use paranormal powers on their missions. The men are made to believe that they can split clouds, become invisible, pass through solid walls and kill with a simple look – a practice they test out on goats. Cassady takes Wilton through the history of the classified military program, where we are introduced to characters like Lieutenant Colonel Bill Django (Jeff Bridges), the off-the-wall founder of the program and the man in charge of training the soldiers and Larry Hooper (Kevin Spacey), a psychic soldier and Lyn’s former nemesis, who is now stationed in Iraq. As Wilton points out in the movie, he headed to Iraq looking for a story and Lyn Cassady brought him an adventure. Read more
