2018
Comedy, Drama, Western

Vignettes weaving together the stories of six individuals in the old West at the end of the Civil War. Following the tales of a sharp-shooting songster, a wannabe bank robber, two weary traveling performers, a lone gold prospector, a woman traveling the West to an uncertain future, and a motley crew of strangers undertaking a carriage ride.

Love the format of this one. The quality of the stories varies from good to perfection, but once the end credits start to roll, you get a one big picture…

Drama

In Greenwich Village in the early 1960s, gifted but volatile folk musician Llewyn Davis struggles with money, relationships, and his uncertain future following the suicide of his singing partner.

A movie about a country musician? Should I watch this? Yeah, you definitely should. You will forget to be watching a biographical drama. Music, camera work, acting, everything is top…

Drama, Adventure, Western

Following the murder of her father by a hired hand, a 14-year-old farm girl sets out to capture the killer. To aid her, she hires the toughest U.S. Marshal she can find—a man with ‘true grit’—Reuben J. ‘Rooster’ Cogburn.

A perfectly crafted movie. The script doesn‘t go very far from the classic westerns, but the quality of directing, filming and acting earns this movie the highest rating.

It is 1967, and Larry Gopnik, a physics professor at a quiet Midwestern university, has just been informed by his wife Judith that she is leaving him. She has fallen in love with one of his more pompous acquaintances Sy Ableman.

It doesn’t get any better than this. The most personal and the best movie from my favorite directors and could the best movie I have ever seen. It’s going to…

2016
Comedy, Drama, Mystery

When a Hollywood star mysteriously disappears in the middle of filming, the studio sends their “fixer” to get him back. Set in the 1950s, the story was inspired by the career of Eddie Mannix (1891–1963).

A generally OK movie, but a disappointment from Coens. The movie is too light and without a clear direction.
