I've heards some very good reviews of this one -- looking forward to seeing it.
Can't wait...:)
how do you do a remake of the DUKE
Same here. I told the wife we'd go see it but will probably put it off until the DVD is released.:oQuote:

Looks to be a good movie but I will wait until it's on Blue-Ray.

Normally, you're right. However, everything I've read about this one has said it breaks that rule.Quote:

I'm anxious to see it also.
Probably on the order of Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven"....
That was a good one.
I will watch it when it comes on free tv.
Free means a good antenna canepole. hahaa. Most ppl do not know what a tv antenna is. I hate it when I make myself feel old.
iill wait till its out for net flix
fill your hand you son of a bit$# i mine to kill you to day / 2 great lines
Went to see it this afternoon and it was great. Bridges is not the Duke but he does a good job.
Just not going out of the way to see it. I don't think Hollywood can remember how to make a western.
Brokeback Mountain about their speed these days.Quote:

Okay, guys... I was pretty skeptical about this one. Really wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to say that this movie is EXCELLENT!!! Went to see it yesterday and am really glad I did. Bridges is no John Wayne, but he was awesome in this role. Best new movie I have seen in a very long time.
john wayne was way over rated as an actor. he played the same part in every movie he ever made. don't understand why folks were so crazy about him. of course i feel the same way about the beatles and elvis. meh.
I saw it Sunday with the Mrs. It was a great movie for me. Ranks right up there with Silverado. I appreciated that the sceanery was more like the area depicted than the first movie.
I will never understand why both John and Jeff rode righ past Ned pepper's horse and rode Little Blacky to death. Ned didn't need him anymore.

this is one of the very few I will go see before it comes out on video
I saw it and thought it was very good. Bridges does a great job and shouldn't be compared to John Wayne. I like John Wayne, but he always played the same character every time..... John Wayne. This version of Grit is more true to the book.
I differ with some of you guys.;) I grew up watching any and all of John Wayne's movies and could only wish there was as good an actor nowadays. Yea, JW did act as the same guy in all his movies...which made him the BEST. He was ALWAYS the toughest guy on the block so there wasnt any need to change that!:) I havent seen the new movie yet but plan on it. Thanks for all the feedback. Makes me want to see if sooner than waiting on DVD.
I don't really agree that he was a great actor............but............I still get at least one John Wayne movie a week out to watch. He was the western and always will be. I just wish that he had made even more movies than he did. I also agree that Silverado was the only newer western that even came close.
Speaking of John Wayne as an actor, I always thought his best job was in The Searchers closely followed by The Shootist. That said True Grit is still my favorite JW movie.
The Cowboys. Good.Quote:

The movies were old and I was young. He may not be the best but from my memories he was. Dont forget all the war movies he played in either. Some good ones there too.;)
I think mine is Lonesome Dove, I think Robert Duvall is one of the best ever.Quote:

Finally got to see it. Great movie.
I agree Steve.....I saw True Grit Thursday night but it doesn't compare with Lonesome Dove..I think Robert Duvall is the bestQuote:

The poor teenagers sitting next to her we scared for thier lives, they couldnt get any closer to the person next to them. She was abusing the hell out of my chair, standing, flaling her arms, etc. When the music calmed down so did she. It was wierd. My future daughter in law thinks she is a scitso (sp) and the volume triggered her episodes.
Scarry part is I saw her driving home after the show. I sure hope the stereo in her car didn't work.
I don't go to theaters no more since I heard about the farmer taking his rooster to the show.
