The theme of this week’s Cheat Sheet? Casting. Well, for the most part. We’ve got the best of the best including J.J. Abrams’ hopes to cast Benicio del Toro as his villain in Star Trek 2 as well as a slew of potential recruits for Warner Bros’ Akira.

With that said, many people will be able to get behind Country Strong. Did it work in too many country tunes that could possibly annoy mainstream audiences? You bet-ya.

Beau Hutton (Garrett Hedlund) is a local performer at all the local bars in Nashville, Tennessee. The scruffy looking cowboy oozes with talent and is content to hang…
