True Grit (2010)
Joel and Ethan Coen remake a beloved John Wayne western with Jeff Bridges in the star role. It sounds like literally nothing could go wrong with this, and you are right. This movie is a delight. Brilliant performances from all the actors, excellent writing and direction, a mixture of humor and seriousness that just works.
It's a rare film in the sense that I can recommend it to literally everyone who is reading this blog. I cannot think of a single person in this universe who couldn't find something to like about it. Unless maybe you just detest westerns? But if that's the case, what are you doing here? We're not friends.
Soonish:
- The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)
- The King's Speech (2010)
- The Illusionist (2010) (if it comes here)
- Rabbit Hole (2010)
- Blue Valentine (2010)
I think people who don't like gore and stuff might not enjoy this as much as other people. My dad and grandma both had to look away a few times. But it was flippin' awesome anyway!
