Gritty

The Coen Brothers latest cinematic effort, True Grit, was a fun ride into the old west, while retaining the brothers casual stylistic charm. I found myself laughing at the witty dialogue and at the smooth manner in which it was delivered. All the actors did fine jobs, but again I think that Jeff Bridges stole the show in his drunken portrayal of Rooster Cogburn. I'm not a big western fan, but this one was a pleasure to watch.

Tron!!!!

I wasn't a huge fan of the original movie Tron, so when I went into the new Tron: Legacy movie, my expectations weren't that high. As far as I'm concerned the movie lived up to my expectations. I can understand why some people liked it, but I just wasn't one of them. The only thing that saved me from hating it is Jeff Bridges performance, as for the rest...yawn.
