MaestroReviews

Deb and I are artists, painters actually. We go see films as often as once a week. That's right, we go to the theater and sit in a dark room with strangers to see movies. We rarely rent. We like "little" movies, foreign and documentary films. We try to stay away from mainstream and blockbusters whenever possible, but a couple sneak in each year. We seek out the obscure. We try to avoid violent movies, and that really limits our choices, most film makers seem to think violence makes a story interesting.
I try not to give anything away in the reviews, but offer an honest reaction.
We rate them 1~10, 10 being highest.

True Grit

Deb 7 Me 4


Here’s another piece of garbage. Maybe that’s a little harsh. The stars did a fine job, the beginning was more reminiscent of The Sting than True Grit, and that’s not all bad; at least it was a remake of something. I'll tell you what pissed me off, and its really not the fault of the movie, but it was rated PG. They hang people, shoot people, some point-blank after torturing and dismembering them, some from a distance. The King's Speech got rated R because they use the "F" word. What are we telling young people? I have a very low tolerance for this industry, probably the main reason I try to patronize films made outside the system. This is just pornography.
