  True Grit 2010

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  As much as I love the original, THIS is the definitive version.
  What an absolutely stellar film, the Coens are true masters of the craft of filmmaking, as well as the Western genre.
  Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon are of course impeccable in their roles as Rooster and LaBouef, but good LORD Hailey Steinfeld is astounding in her performance.

  Watch it, love it - simple as that.

  12 Angry Men 1957

  ★★★★★ Watched 22 Apr 2024

  A perfect film.

  The amount of suspense and drama conveyed by these 12 men in a single room was truly gripping.
  Lee J Cobb (The Exorcist) was truly gargantuan in his performance, and Henry Fonda stands as a pillar in his quest for certainty amidst uncertainty.
  A progressive film for its time, and still holds deep truths about both the grace, and sometimes broken nature that is contained within the American justice system.
  A must watch.

  Does the story take a few liberties in the historically accurate timeline to make a more theatrical story? Yes.
