True Grit

For those of us who are great fans of the old one, I was not dissapointed in the new one. They both have their qualities. The Cohn brothers have stuck very close to the book, where as the john wayne one hollywooded it up a bit but you can't go wrong with a good story which is what they started out with.

It was funny because you could see Jeff Bridges do John Wayne playing Rooster Cogburn at times and then the guys who played Ned Pepper gave his performance a good dose of Robert Duvall who played Ned in the origional.

It was all great though. I recommend both of them.

 

new year

I hope all of you have a great new year. It should be not too cold or snowy.

Off to see the new True Grit today. perfect day for it as we are waiting rain and blowy weather. I don't know if I will like it as I am a big fan of the origional and a big John Wayne fan, the actor not the person. Too republican for me.

I don't know how many of you know about the new doggie, I posted all that on facebook where a lot of you are, but. His name is now Jack, no more Happy couldn't deal with that. He and Sadie and the kitties are doing as well as possible. Hope to post some new photos soon. This one I put up on facebook, but now it is here.
