Movie: True Grit (2011)

Plot: A girl whose father gets murdered wants to avenge the loss. She takes the help of a field Marshall and a Texas ranger who are at loggerheads and the three are in pursuit of the killer ; the girl for her father & the other two for the money.

Highlights:

• Once again, a film with a simple story scores with the narration of the Coen Brothers.
• The lazy action of the giant like Jeff Bridges & the supporting roles played by Matt Damon & the girl.
• The night shooting sequence & the climax.

A watch-worthy cowboy film which ,for a change, is less on adventure.

Movie: The Big Lebowski (1998)

Plot: When some tyrants mistake a lazy 'dude' Lebowski for his much wealthier namesake, the Dude Lebowski loses his rug. The claim of his rug from the wealthier Mr.Lebowski leads him & his Snow-bowling team mates into a hell of a lot of trouble!

Highlights:

• The stylishly comical setup created by the Coen Brothers makes this film a joyous ride.
• Jeff Bridges and his snow-bowling teammate are brilliantly spontaneous when they mouth their wits.
• Dialogs with the heavy dose of nonsensical one-liners is a big plus.

Lowlights:
The plot could have been even more intense.

My Rating: 9.0/10
