Social Distortion - Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes by Epitaph Records

Convoy - DVD - Angled Doors Review

 I'm sure you remember the classic song by CW McCall, well this is the movie. Kris Kristofferson plays the Rubber Duck. Him and some trucker buddies get fucked with by some small town cop and they get in their trucks and head for the border. The cops chase them and more and more truckers join up starting the huge convoy. That's the basic plot. Great film. Another must have.

Crazy Heart (2009)

Director: Scott Cooper

Starring: Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Colin Farrell

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1263670/


 I'm going to keep this review short and sweet. It's about an aging whiskey drinkin' outlaw country music singer down on his luck and failing at his career. His protege has gone on to big fame and sold out arenas while he's stuck playing bowling alleys. I can re-hash the whole story, but what's the point. It's a damn fine drama with an amazing soundtrack. Jeff Bridges is the best I've seen him in years, Colin Farrell doesn't come off like a cartoon as usual. Robert Duval has a bit part and is also the producer. Which is funny... The movie totally reminded me of Tender Mercies, and is probably the best of it's type I've seen since TM came out. Anyway, this is definitely worth going out to see or picking up when it hits dvd. If you like a good drama or you're a country music fan be sure to check it out.

Verdict: * * * *
