Aside from Somewhere, True Grit was the only other movie I was excited about seeing.
True Grit - 4/5
Shockingly simple, especcially for a Coen Brothers movie, but that isn’t a bad thing. It reminded me of how great a western can be. A simple story told simply, and masterfully.
The Killer - 5/5
It isn’t perfect but fuck me if it doesn’t have me cheering and hollering at my own TV. Showed it to my little brother and he really dug it, started calling me Shrimphead.
Does anyone else see the gay allegory between Little B and Shrimphead. The four other times I’d seen the movie it had never occured to me, but my brother called it like twenty minutes in and I couldn’t get that out of my head the whole rest of the movie.
