True Grit (2010)
Not what I expected....
OK, True Grit was a very well made movie, it had a great cast with great performances. It had beautiful scenery and the Coen brothers paid very close attention to detail. Having said that, it was not at all what I expected, I didn't realize it was a comedy, and that's what it was more or less. It was laugh out loud funny, and the audience and myself laughed throughout, but I could have swore the movie was about a girl avenging her fathers death, but that played a back seat role to the comedy. I don't know, I just expected some No Country for Old Men intensity at some point, but there was none. The girl barely even seemed bothered that her father was just murdered. So it was an entertaining film, but if your looking for a "gritty" Unforgiven type western, this is not it
The Cove (2009)
Really People????
First off, dolphins are beautiful creatures and it's sad, but correct me if i'm wrong but don't we slaughter millions of cows, pigs, chickens, and other animals here on a yearly basis??? And don't we hunt and shoot deer, fowl, and all kinds of other game just for fun??? Heck, if you don't want your unborn child you can run down to the clinic and murder it real quick, but we don't kill dolphins!!! and by God no one else will either....really people??? it's so hypocritical it makes my head hurt. Did anyone ever think that maybe it's none of our business being in another countries waters illegally secretly filming them??? but that's us the world police, exposing things WE don't do, so therefore they must be condemned!!!! give me a break, it's OK to enslave a dolphin and throw it in kiddie pool for other peoples entertainment their entire life...yeah, that sounds much better.
Madeo (2009)
Way too much hype......
Before watching this film I got online and read several reviews like I always do, to get a feel about what i'm about to see. From what I read I was very excited about the film, several people were comparing it to Hitchcock and saying what an incredible thriller it was, and many people praising it so highly, that after a few pages of reviews I thought I was preparing to watch a cinematic triumph. Well, I have NO idea what all those people were talking about... it's not some great thriller or mystery, it's not even a good thriller or mystery...I kept reading about all these great twists, none of which I found were much of a stretch. Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't a horrible movie by any means, it had some bright moments...great performances, some good humor, cool cinematography, but I'm just warning you, don't go into this movie believing your about to see some great mystery thriller, or you'll be greatly disappointed...when it ended, it was one of those " you got to be kidding me" moments.
