Scott Cooper's movie Crazy Heart got two Oscar in 2009, It's a movie with the soul, no pathos, no ostentatious patriotism, just as it is. Jeff Bridges plays such a collective role of the classics of the Nashville Sound. Forty years ago, while still a boy, he went into the army in the end "The Last Picture Show," now he's back with the "Oscar". There are, of course, the obvious parallels with his main "pop-role" of Big Lebowski, but it looks like he selects the role and playing style and maintains this line till the final credits.

With a talent filled cast and plenty of inspiring music to offer Sparkle will most assuredly be one to see as well as listen to this year! Starring Jordin Sparks in the role of Sparkle, sounds like an ideal combination. Sparks was named the winner of season 6 on American Idol in 2007 and her career has never looked so promising since. In what may be her final acting role, Whitney Houston plays Sparkle's mom, a single mother with high hopes for her daughter's singing career. The sing together along with two sisters and absolutely sound like the Supremes did back in the 1960's.n original film titled Sparkle depicted a family of three sisters who formed a girl group from Harlem in the 50's but this remake centers them in Detroit in the 60's and is a far better tribute to the Supremes than Dreamgirls ever could be. Cast includes the late Whitney Houston (Waiting To Exhale), Derek Luke (Antwone Fisher), and Mike Epps (Jumping The Broom). Sparkle's sisters are played by Carmen Ejogo, and Tika Sumpter.

With stars like Dolly Parton, Queen Latifah, Courtney B. Vance, and Keke Palmer this film about a small town choir burdened by the town's budget cuts appears to be a hit.

Sparrow (Dolly Parton) to jump in because she thought it should be her to replace the dearly departed musical director. And as Sparrow is also a major donor with big bucks to spend, she could definitely help with financial issues brought on by the town budget cuts.he younger generation approves of G.G. Sparrow and her plans to modernize the choir's music and style and have their own agenda's which include romance and rebelliousness. At stake is the national annual competition titled "Joyful Noise" and the two leading women must overcome their differences to reach a competitive level. Dolly Parton (9 to 5, Steel Magnolias) is superb as the wealthy G.G. Sparrow, Queen Latifah (Beauty Shop, The Dilemma) is the hardheaded Vi Rose who's daughter Olivia (Keke Palmer) begins dating G.G.'s grandson, Randy (Jeremy Jordan) making yet more sparks fly in this small town. Beautiful music and wonderful acting give this just the right spirit for any season!
