I attribute that entirely to the heroic spirit of Glen Campbell and his extraordinary family," said producer Trevor Albert. In 2011, music legend Glen Campbell set out on an unprecedented tour across America. They thought it would last 5 weeks, instead it went for 151 spectacular sold out shows over a triumphant year and a half across America. What made this tour extraordinary was that Glen had recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He was told to hang up his guitar and prepare for the inevitable. Instead, Glen and his wife went public with his diagnosis and announced that he and his family would set out on a "Goodbye Tour." The film documents this amazing journey as he and his family attempt to navigate the wildly unpredictable nature of Glen's progressing disease using love, laughter and music as their medicine of choice. Special appearances include Bruce Springsteen, The Edge, Paul McCartney, Blake Shelton, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift, Steve Martin, Chad Smith  and Bill Clinton among many others. "We are honored to bring this portrait of Glen Campbell to American audiences," said said Joe Amodei of Virgil Films. "This great entertainer and his indelible music have been a part of so many lives for decades, we look forward to reminding everyone of what's so special about him." Keach added "the legacy Glen Campbell and his incredibly courageous family share in this film is one of the most important movies I have been blessed to have worked on. Glen Campbell.. I'll Be Me will forever inspire me as a filmmaker and a man. Glen is a real life hero on and off the stage."

You Go Ghoul! Reese Witherspoon

Hi, I'm Reese Witherspoon

OK, before you all get evil and start throwing bobbed apples at me, I love Ms. Witherspoon, I simply like to keep my posts somewhat geared to my favorite time of year. Thus the "Ghoul" reference.

Actually this post is a Valentine not a Trick to one of my favorite actresses. Reese is awesome and so deserved her Academy Award for her performance as June Carter Cash in Walk The Line. 

Not to mention she was brilliant in two of my personal favorite films of all time, as Tracy Flick in Alexander Payne's Election and Vanessa Lutz in Freeway.

Vanessa: Holy shit! Look who got beat with the ugly stick. Is that you Bob? "Freeway"

I would like to give Reese the utmost respect for how she recently addressed her arrest in 2013. It was an honest comment on the human condition. Happy Halloween Reese!

Source Us Weekly: 

Reese Witherspoon's arrest in April 2013 was something of a wake-up call -- and not just for her. Asked about the incident during a press conference for her new movie Wild at the BFI London Film Festival on Monday, Oct. 13, the actress said she thinks it opened the world's eyes to the fact that there's more to her than the America's Sweetheart persona she has cultivated on-screen. 

"I think it was a moment where people realized that I wasn't exactly what they thought I was," the 38-year-old star said (via The Hollywood Reporter). "I guess maybe we all like to define people by the way the media presents them, and I think that I showed I have a complexity that people didn't know about." 

Of the arrest -- for disorderly conduct in Atlanta, where she was filming The Good Lie at the time -- she added, "It's part of human nature. I made a mistake. We all make mistakes. The best you can do is say sorry and learn from it and move on."
