True Grit *** (2010, Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Hailee Steinfeld, Josh Brolin, Barry Pepper, Domhnall Gleeson) – Classic Movie Review 3970
The 2010 remake of True Grit (1969) is a very decent, old-fashioned Western with strong, rock-solid performances. But, with its thin, slim-feeling story and relatively low impact, it is a slight disappointment from directors Ethan Coen and […]

Intolerable Cruelty *** (2003, George Clooney, Catherine Zeta-Jones) – Classic Movie Review 1239
Gorgeous George Clooney is the making of the Coen Brothers’ entertaining 2003 old-style Hollywood romantic comedy, but with a deliciously dark, cynical edge. The Coen Brothers dark and cynical? That’s a weird one! Clooney plays […]
