Whoever has the true grit is perhaps not who you think
We are talking about the 1969 version, although a remake came out in 2010. The story is based on the novel by Charles Portis. This is the film that earned his only Oscar to John Wayne! It is far from his usual roles. It is a has-been sheriff who finds inspiration through a sturdy temperament girl. This western is of his time and perhaps suffers latency for an audience that is not accustomed to the old movies. The costumes and backgrounds are of course beautiful. A good time, a film in history to see at least once. It includes one or two famous historical mistakes, will you find them?

God Bless America

why I loved it !
It's dark humor how I like it : without consensus, violent and despite what you might think very enjoyable if you can take a joke. God Bless America takes on everything that's wrong with society and gets rid of it by killing it, literally and one bullet at a time. It's bad but fulfilling at the same time. Just enjoy it !Wednesday, July 3, 2013
Australia by Baz Luhrmann

| Australia by Baz Luhrmann |
Just before the Second World War, a British aristocrat, newly widowed, inherited a ranch in Australia. She asks for help from a Australian cowboy and its Aboriginal employees to resist the competition in the livestock trade. But the regions is dangerous and the Japanese planes attacked....
Danger always makes things more intense
Australia is a fully assumed romantic adventure on a huge landscape. It remains, however, far from a masterpiece and Japanese attacks seemed to be a pretext for reunion scene. But, it made us forget the world. The star's couple produces great chemistry, they are two of my favorite actors. Of course the scenery is beautiful and quite savage. A good entertainment.

why I loved it !
It's an amazing depiction of the american civil war both at the rear of the conflict and in the middle of battle. The cast is brilliant delivering incredible performances and the director did a very good job at fleshing out the different characters you'll come to love or hate.Sunday, June 30, 2013
Finding Neverland by Marc Forster

| Finding Neverland by Marc Forster |
London, in the early twentieth century. The writer J. M. Barrie is uninspired. His marriage is not going well and his career is downward. One day, he meets Sylvia Davies and her four boys in the parc. A strong friendship develops between them five, but the grandmother doesn't see it positively. Through this relation, James finds inspiration and writes Peter Pan.
A child's soul
Finding Neverland is a beautiful movie, very aesthetic. The stars are superb, as well as other actors. This is the role that revealed Freddie Highmore. He is really surprising here, and there is no doubt of his future success. Neverland's scenes are a real delight. This film will transport you to a magical elsewhere.
