Opinion: Is PG-13 Safe for Kids Any More?
By not in system - AOL NewsThe Coen brothers' latest film, "True Grit," is an unquestionable success among movie audiences, grossing more than $175 million worldwide on a $38 million production budget. It has earned the praise of critics and the Academy alike, garnering 10 Oscar nominations, including one for best picture. "True Grit" has everything a lover of cinema could want out of a movie: Joel and Ethan Coen's crackling patois, the terrific camera work of cinematographer Roger Deakins, a star turn by newcomer Hailee Steinfeld, and Jeff Bridges, who traded in Bad Blake's guitar (from his Oscar-winning role in ...
Jeff Fisher, Tennessee Titans Surprisingly Decide to Part Ways
By John Oehser - AOL NewsJeff Fisher no longer is coaching the Tennessee Titans. Fisher, in one of the most surprising moves of the offseason, will part ways with the Titans, according to a statement released by the team early Thursday evening. Fisher has coached the Titans on a permanent basis since 1995. He was the NFL's longest-tenured head coach. Although there was speculation about Fisher's job security late in the season, the move comes as a surprise because the Titans and Fisher has appeared ready to move forward with Fisher as the coach since shortly after the season.

'True Grit' Then and Now: Political Eye Patches and a Girl Named Mattie Ross
By Suzi Parker - Politics Daily"True Grit" is legendary in my neck of the woods. Before Bill Clinton or Mike Huckabee, there was "True Grit," a 1968 western novel about Arkansas by an Arkansan named Charles Portis. Portis, now 77, worked as newspaper reporter but abandoned the deadline life to become a novelist. He struck gold with "True Grit," his most successful novel about Mattie Ross, a feisty and fearless 14-year-old, who sets out to avenge her father's death in Oklahoma's Indian Territory. A year after the book was published, John Wayne starred in the movie adaption and won an Academy Award -- his ...
The Works: What's Next For Yao Ming?
By Bethlehem Shoals and Eric Freeman - AOL NewsToday in The Works: why Nets fans should curb their enthusiasm; comparing Steve Nash and Jeff Bridges; and a bit of streak numerology. But first, making sense of Yao Ming's latest bad news. The Ballad of Yao Ming Yao Ming's foot is hurt again, enough to keep him out for the rest of the year, and the entire basketballing world now weeps in sorrow. After playing only five games to start this season and none in 2009-10, he's now at a sub-Oden level of health. To call this moment a career crossroads would be wildly optimistic -- at this point we should start wondering if he'll ever be able to ...
I Have a Wife, and He's Spectacular
By Janet W. Battaile - Politics DailyContinuing our Woman UP conversation about what women want, I feel compelled to respond with a defense of men, and my man especially. In this era of bad-boy husbands, as my colleague Judy Ellis calls them, it was refreshing to hear her praise Jeff Bridges, after he paid public tribute to his wife of 30-plus years when he won a SAG award for his portrayal of an over-the-hill country singer in "Crazy Heart.'' But Christine Wicker raised questions about the sincerity of men who lavishly and publicly praise their wives, saying her mother had warned her that such men "had to be guilty of something ...
In 'Crazy Heart,' Yet Another May-December Pairing
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyIf only the movies were more like real life. Judy Howard Ellis noted a "swooning moment" when actor and middle-aged-antidote-to-lousy-husbands Jeff Bridges paid loving tribute to his wife, Susan, at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I was as ahh-struck as any other woman of a certain age, especially since I believe Bridges has long been overlooked. (Hollywood has a tendency to honor big performances and ignore the reliable actor's more nuanced work.) So this weekend -- filled with warm fuzzies for the actor and the man -- I finally got to "Crazy Heart" and the performance that is winning ...
