Tron: Legacy


Usually I'd start off with a turbo-fire summary of the story. However, with Tron: Legacy, the story is all over the place. It’s hard to pin down the entire plot within one or two sentences because the movie spins numerous ideas around your head without clearly defining any of them. The pacing slows to a halt in the middle and doesn’t pick up much near the end. However, the incredible visuals and the PHENOMENAL score draw you into the gorgeous world of The Grid. And if you’re movie’s boring, at least you’re bored in The Grid. With Olivia Wilde. Groovy.

True Grit

The Coen brothers activate their wonder twin powers to remake the John Wayne classic True Grit by reuniting with Jeff Bridges, almighty God of acting for whom we must give our thanks. Additionally, they hired a sizable bag of marbles to shove in his mouth. He seems to spit them out one by one as the movie goes on, but don’t be surprised if you miss some dialog in the beginning. Hailee Steinfeld, along with the rest of the cast, gives an exceptional performance. However, the slow pace dampened numerous scenes that weren’t as exciting than they should have been.
