The Movies: For Eastwood, a tonal shift

Heaven help us all. Has Clint Eastwood, the macho man known for hanging desperados high and blowing up moods with moody downers like “Mystic River,” turned into an old softy? Kind of. In “Hereafter,” his soulful exploration of the great beyond, Eastwood drops the tough guy facade and deals with his most heartfelt subject yet […]

It would have been great “Behind the Music” fodder: “Angry Fiddler Splits from Folkie Troupe.” But for as much as she might be pushed and prodded, Amanda Gervasi can’t speak the least bit ill of her former wolfpack, Gypsy Tailwind, or the wisdom she gained from the full-band experience.
