True Grit

A tough U.S. marshal helps a stubborn young woman track down her fathers killer well where do i start firstly iam a fan of the coens although i thought there last couple of films while being good films lack that certain sparkle of there earlier works this made me think maybe we had already seen there best work well iam  glad to say i was wrong this film blew me away OK the acting the three main players  Jeff bridges Matt Damon and new comer halle stienfield  all perform majestically the script is fantastic the dialogue is just mesmerising  the photography beautiful and atmospheric  i mean i felt that u could taste roosters whiskey smell the camp fire and at times stark showing how tough life was back then the music you know music is important to me in a film and i usually pay a great deal of attention to it but i have to say while i acknowledge there was music i was so wrapped up in the story i dint really notice but hell I'm sure it was fantastic just like the rest of the movie.

The Mechanic

Arthur bishop is a mechanic an elite assassin who is compromised when he is asked to eliminate his friend and mentor harry (Donald Sutherland) things become further complicated when harrys troubled son Steve(Ben foster) turns to him to become his apprentice Arthur grudgingly agrees then the mission seems clear find the real reason behind harry s death well another Jason Statham  action movie and yes i,am a fan this is a very slick violent action pic with a lot of gun play fighting which kinda reminded me of the Bourne series a few plot holes aside i throughly enjoyed this good performances from Statham and foster.
