True Grit

  What a fantastic movie!  Best I've seen in a long while...  You don't even have to like westerns to enjoy the incredible acting, scenery, storyline and yes absolutely... TRUE GRIT in this movie.  Loved every single bit of it.  Except where the horse dies.  Dammit.



 I want to be her when I grow up....

    We loved it too! Last week J recorded the original and we watched it Friday night. I think I liked both equally. Kim Darby was way cool!
    Happy 4th, Karen!

    Oh NO! The horse dies! Well, that ensures that I will wait for it to come out on the home screen so I don't end up blubbering like a mad woman in the theater! xo Diana

    In movies people can drop like flies for all I care, but don't hurt the animals for I'll cry ;-(

    I never go to the movies. Can't bring myself to sit still for about two hours and I feel I can't escape the noise. I'm becoming an old nag really fast, hehe.

    But I'm glad you liked it ;-)

    Let's see, the last movie I watched in a theater was Ghost. Not likely to see it until I can watch at home. I love me some Jeff!

    I wasn't expecting to like this movie but I did, and was happily surprised. Haley did such an amazing job.

    Haven't seen this one yet, but have seen the J Wayne version maybe 100 times thanks to the Western Channel and my remote-hogging hubby.
