True Grit

My wife & i actually went to a movie theatre to see this one...i cant even remember the last new movie i wanted to pay good money for & make the effort to watch but this was a good one. When i first heard about it i thought it was the worst idea ever...why remake a classic? No one is going to like it better than the original, & its going to get instant comparisons. But this was actually really well done & didnt need any computer graphics or 3D gimmicks.

Agreed! Great movie.

Saw it, and liked it. You can't compare the two movies to each other. They are two takes of the same story. Both good movies. The little girl in the new version killed it though!

hey David, yeah once they hit the trail & hunt for tom they are pretty different.& bridges is about the only actor i can think of that i feel could take one of the duke's roles and do it justice. i agree about the girl in the new version, she almost stole the show...& they didnt even put her name on the movie poster!!
