Old Reviews: Capote and True Grit

Popcorn flicks.

Drama: Bennett Miller's 2005 biographical "Capote," staring the outstanding Philip Seymour Hoffman. The film follows the events leading up to the writing of Capote's "In Cold Blood." Philip Seymour Hoffman definitely deserved the oscar that year for best actor. He is one of the greatest contemporary actors. It's on Netlfix Instant!

Action/Adventure: The Coen Brothers' 2010 western remake "True Grit," starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Hailee Steinfeld. It's about Steinfeld's character's determination to bring her father's killer (Brolan's character) to justice/get revenge. So, she hires the help of the "meanest" Deputy Marshal (Bridges character). Along the way, a Texas Ranger (Damon's character) tries to help as well. I'm a Coen fan and all, but I was still surprised about how good this movie was. It was one of my favorites of 2010. See for yourself on Netflix Instant!
