MovieMonday—A Trio of Recos

I have three movies to tell you about and you should watch all three, if you haven’t already. 

true grit True Grit

A Coen Brothers movie, it’s really good!  Jack’s seen it three times and I know he’d like to watch it again. Gary and I would watch it again, too.  Jeff Bridges does an impressive job and the story just gets you.  Makes you want to say You Go, Girl!

the fighter The Fighter

Marky Mark is good but Christian Bale’s acting was outstanding.  Definitely more humor in this one than True Grit, but also a really good movie.  And it had a delightful surprise for me on the soundtrack.  I was half-dozing (not a reflection on the quality of the movie, just a usual Diane thing) and bolted right up when I heard the first bars of Strip My Mind.  I had no idea!  It fit well.  Overall, a good soundtrack really. 

And then there’s this movie called Napoleon Dynamite…by a young film maker named Caroline Gill.
