* A Second Look At Bad Blake- A Jeff Bridges Film Retropsective

Click on the headline to link to a "Boston Sunday Globe" article, dated April 25, 2010, concerning a Jeff Bridges retrospective at a local theater.

Markin comment:

Long before Jeff Bridges won his well-deserved Oscar for his Bad Blake role in last year’s “Crazy Hearts” I noted, in a response to someone’s comment in another blog, that in a sense he had been playing those kind of award-worthy roles all his now forty year acting career and that he should have been honored long time ago. I also noted the similarities between the way he played his role as Duane in “The Last Picture Show” and Bad Blake in “Crazy Hearts”. Now for those who did not, or do not, believe me and need visual proof you are to be well-treated. At least those in the Boston area and, perhaps, in your town if you push for it you will get a chance to see a Jeff Bridges retrospective at the local theater described in the “Boston Sunday Globe” linked article. The following is not an exclusive list of my choices but “Last Picture”, “Rancho Deluxe”, “Fat City”, “ The Big Lebowski”, and, of course “Crazy Hearts” should be on your dance card. If no retrospective is coming up in your area check out “Netflix”. They are all available on that site. Kudos, Duane. Kudos, Bad.
