When's the last time this old queen was relevant (if ever)? He takes some ridiculously ignorant shots at the Coens in his review of True Grit.

In the numbing hands of pretentious filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen...

quote:

Despite an occasional surprise like Fargo and No Country for Old Men, the Coen brothers have never met a comma, period or semicolon they didn't like. Their movies ramble through open space like rail fences on a cattle ranch...

quote:

The really appalling thing here is Jeff Bridges. Last year, he won an Oscar. This year, he gives the worst performance of 2010...


I can understand people who don't really get the Coens movies and don't like them, but to for a RT supposed "Top Critic" to make such asinine statements is surprising.

I was disappointed with it but I'd still give it a B or B+. It just wasn't GREAT imo.

But that review is just ridiculous.

talk about pretentious. I love the Coens, but not everybody on the planet has to fawn over every single move they make. They aren't above criticism. And have you even seen this movie yet? Perhaps some is warranted.

He's pretty goofy. He attended Natchitoches High School. My sister was one of his best friends. You can't take the guy very seriously.
