True Grit

This is the definition of cinematic.

Absolutely sublime. it is extraordinary in every sense. Top of the list has to be the cinematography which is just perfect. then there's the script, the pacing, the tone, the story an the performances.

Ahhh the performances - normally i'm against little kids being up for Oscars as i think it's all a little bit pathetic. However, Hallie Steinfeld deserves all the credit she is getting - a brilliant "gritty" performance and all this from her first feature, lets hope she doesnt turn into a drug addled slut like lindsay lohan and a load of other child stars.

Not gonna go on too much about how good it is. just go see it and wallow in its immenseness.

Tron Legacy

Welcome to the future of 3D, using 4 projectors the visual affects for this film are amazing. Used only really within the computer world of Tron (the Grid). The first 40ish minutes of the movie are very cool, with showing Sam Flynn's relationship to his fathers computer company (showing it to be something like Apple), Sam's fathers friend Alan Bradley comes to him revealing that he'd received a message from the arcade from a line that had be disconnected for over 10 years. Sam promptly goes there and then get sucked into the grid, there are some very cool arena fights and light-cycle races... and then Sam meets his dad and the film becomes a snooze-fest from there. The film promptly looses pace, story and interest from there. There's a very weird crappy cameo from Michael Sheen who's character there isn't really any need for.
The films shows the people living within tron are half the time unthinking robots, the other time have personalities and never explains or shows why. Are they robots or people with feelings? It just doesn't make sense. And why are they so hot? Is it wrong for them to make us want to bang a computer program? Or is that really why Jeff Bridges hasn't left for the human world... he's cybering the whole fucking time... dirty old man.

I honestly wasn't expecting much from this film so I wasn't too let down, but I was really enjoying it up to a point. This film could have really done with another script write to add in some ... character... plot... you know the important stuff. Bloody amazing 3d tho!

3 Stars.
