True Grit

A very good movie and worth watching.  I have never seen the first one and I would really like to see it after watching the remake.  I will admit that I am a huge Jeff Bridges fan.  Matt Damon was really good too and I almost didn't recognize him.  One thing that was pretty annoying was how grizzly Jeff Bridges talked because we (Tim and I) could hardly understand anything he said.  We were constantly having to turn up the volume on the TV, so if you do watch the movie make sure your volume is pretty high.  If you don't like westerns then don't watch this movie because it is a true western!  My parents thought the original version was much better (that one starred John Wayne) and from some other feed back I have been getting most older people liked the original better.  Maybe after I watch the first one I will write a comparison blog.  Until then, I would definitely recommend this version and I believe it is a movie that the whole family could watch together.
