True Grit (2010) - 8/10

This was a re-watch. The Coens have made masterpieces* over the years and this for me is slightly below their top-tier movies, but I still really loved it. The acting was phenomenal across the board, and the cinematography from Deakins was incredible as usual. Definitely made a big differences having subtitles on for Rooster though

*My Coen masterpieces: Fargo, Big Lebowski, Miller's Crossing, No Country for Old Men. No, I'm not taking notes on my list, thanks.

I think that's a pretty solid list

It is.

You won't find me arguing about No Country, Miller's Crossing or True Grit... I just really like some of their more, I. wanna say unusual work too.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? is probably my favourite.

Raising Arizona is right up there, so is The Hudsucker Proxy, and while I get that plenty folks don't take naturally to Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers, I love 'em.

Oh yeah he forgot O Brother. I love that one.

The Gray Man Pitch Meeting

 

[HunterNW]

IMDB reviews. Some give 9 / 10 and some 1 / 10.
Guess they only know the extremes

Same as the punks here. Plenty who can't appreciate a lekker skop skiet en donner movie. Must be some shakespear schit dialogue before they even give a point out of 10.

Burn After Reading is my favourite from that category.

 

[R13...]

So the Gray man has a rating of 47% on RT, but audience score is at 90%. I think i'll give it a whirl and decide for myself.

Not Okay (2022) 6/10

Good idea that starts off well, starts fizzling out from the 3rd act. Some touching moments.

 

[Herr der Verboten]

The Green Knight. It's been a while since I had to google the meaning and motives thereof. Still It's an A24/A24. No doubt about that and hardly a 5/10 but rather 8 or 7.5

Yeah I really liked it, and Alicia Vikander was impressive.

I also liked Macbeth and Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and especially Inside Llewyn Davis

It was a good adaptation, even my kid understood it. 8/10.

Honor Society (2022) 6.5/10

Sharp dark comedy with a twist ending. Some generic elements but overall a good watch.

Came here to post this. I rate it as a masterpiece and have watched it a few times.

Paradise Highway (2022) 6/10

Slow paced thriller. Does provide some insight into truckers & their lives. Predictable & runs too long.

 

[FiestaST]

These Final Hours (2013) 7/10

Familiar end-of-the-world premise but this one nails the mark wrt a touching story with lots of emotion, absorbing watch. Another quality Aussie film.

Debuted in theatres this day in 1987.
