    True Grit - 1969 Vs 2010

    watched both films back to back. i'd have to say i prefer the '69 version better. it had A LOT more character to it than the 2010 model. the beginning of the 2010 and the ending are different from the '69 version and while i think the 2010 one worked out a little better at the end u do miss out on story from the '69 one in the beginning. the ending in 2010 also elaborates more toward the very end and i didn't find that terribly wrong. u get to see what has come of everyone and that's nice.

    i also found that the cinematography was better in '69 opposed to 2010 as well. u get a lot of panned out shots in '69 and u get a feel of where they're at more so than 2010. 2010 was a big disappointment in this department, but all the close up shots makes u feel a little claustrophobic.

    the '69 version playing in at 2 hours while the 2010 one lasted around 1:45 hours. both a decent watch and i'd recommend watching the older one first for comparison sakes.

    for myself i'm not good at judging score for an older movie for new age tech has spoiled me. so, i'd say i'd give the 2010 True Grit a 6/10 and i believe the 1969 True Grit was the better film giving it around 7/10.

    either way, both a good watch for western lovers!

    What about us non-Western fans nails? Is there enough cleavage, loud bangs and explosions to keep us ADD riddled infants entertained?

    I watched Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night. It's a film about a blind clockmaker who lost a son in the war and made a clock of which the second hand is going backwards. Shortly after the installment of the clock, a baby is born with old age and his physical age reverses like that of the clock. We go through the life of the boy through a diary he wrote.

    Spoiler: Show


    Anyone understand the point of the scenes where Mr. Daws keeps telling Benjamin; "Did I ever tell you I been struck by lightning seven times?"

    A somewhat Gentle Man

    A Norwegian movie about a killer who's released from prison and has troubles to start a new life again. Though the movie has its lengths there are some hilariously bizarre scenes, e.g. when he's nailing his landlady...

    What, Pixar has a new movie I haven't heard about?

    Going the Distance- Drew Barrymore, Justin Long, Christina Applegate.

    A predictable rom-com that rises above expectations because of the chemistry between Long and Barrymore and some surprise supporting bits from Kristin Schaal and Jim Gaffigan.
    There are a couple of laugh out loud scenes- particularly Barrymore's drunken darts/bar rant- that were better than expected also.

    Going the Distance is pleasant enough but hardly memorable and I was left thinking that Barrymore could be great in a truly excellent comedy.
    I hope she gets the chance.

    I liked both of them, but I must say that the old one had a lot more humorous quotes in it. The new one just didn't make me laugh nearly as much as the old one. Still, it was worth the drive to go see it in the only theatre near here actually playing it.

    Yeah.

    Started watching that last Friday - not done with it yet.

    Thinking about vacation time to finish...I hate to give up on things, y'know.

    Tomorrow, When The War Began; watched it the day before yesterday (I might add I've read the first three books).
    My father watched it too and said it reminded him a lot of a movie from the 70s called Red Dawn.
    I actually liked this movie, didn't think it was a great movie, but an ok movie may be because I was expecting
    to be quite disappointed before watching it, besides, the book wasn't that great either.

    also watched 'Flipped' yesterday (for the 2nd time), now that is making a good movie!
    a feel good movie some people call it, if you liked The Wonder Years you should love this movie
    about a girl that loves this kind from the first time she saw him, but the kid pays no mind to her until
    it is almost too late. The story is set in suburban US in the early 60s.\
