SCREEN/LISTINGS name on it. Until then I’m just gonna stay bad.” Jeff Bridges stars as Blake, a 57-year old alcoholic fading star of country music. When the sensitive yet cragged Blake meets young journalist Jean Craddock (Maggie Gyllenhaal), he resolves to turn his life around. Scott Cooper directs a star-studded cast featuring Colin Farrell and Robert Duval in this film adaptation of Thomas Cobb’s 1987 novel. In the same vein as The Wrestler, Crazy Heart champions the human spirit. See review on Page 30. (R) Flicks DEAR JOHN—Nicholas Sparks brings yet another tearjerker to the big screen. Army man John (Channing Tatum, Public Enemies) meets Savannah (Amanda Seyfried, Big Love) during an annual leave. Their fairytale romance becomes torn apart by war when John is deployed overseas. Over the years, the two exchange letters but the distance creates an emotional rift between them. Acclaimed Swedish director of The Cider House Rules, Lasse Hallstrom once again breathes celluloid life into the printed word. (PG-13) Edwards 9, Edwards 22 EDGE OF DARKNESS—Mel Gibson attempts to resuscitate his career and public image in director Martin Campbell’s (Casino Royale) dark thriller. Gibson plays Thomas Craven, a widowed Irish Boston cop whose daughter Emma (Bojana Novakovic) suddenly returns home. When Emma is murdered in front of him, Craven goes on rampage to find her killer. With the help of an oddly friendly, yet informative hitman (Ray Winstone), Craven discovers a world of corporate conspiracy and terrorism. Could Emma have gone from daddy’s little girl to a national security threat? (R) Edwards 9, Edwards 22 EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES—Harrison Ford stars as eccentric Dr. Robert Stonehill, a man tasked with searching for a cure for a rare genetic disorder affecting John (Brendan Fraser) and Aileen Crowley’s (Keri Russell) children. Based on a true story, the Crowleys struggle to raise enough money to fund Stonehill’s research learning as much about themselves and Stonehill as they do the disease. The tagline for this tear-jerker? “Don’t hope for a miracle, make one.” (PG) Edwards 22 FROM PARIS WITH LOVE—John Travolta as slick, chin-bearded FBI agent Charlie Wax. When U.S. Ambassador employee James Reese (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is hired as Wax’s assistant, he takes on more than his pencil mustache can handle. Explosions, wise cracks and good ole fashioned violence pepper Wax and Reese’s endeavor to stop a terrorist from attacking the City of Love. (R) Edwards 9 THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS—The story of Dr. Parnassus and his magical traveling show, in which visitors are treated to more than entertainment. The good doctor leads viewers to visions of their spirits freed but, not unlike Pandora’s Box, when a door is opened for good, sometimes evil finds a way out as well. (PG-13) Flicks IT’S COMPLICATED—Jane (Meryl Streep) and Jake (Alec Baldwin) were married, had three kids, and subsequently divorced
