True Grit is also the best movie ever..

It wasn't all that good imo, but the young girl did do a fine job in her 1st roll.

John Wayne can't be matched by anyone in showbiz today, if ever. Use the

money on a Black Swan ticket and wait til True Grit comes out on cable/sat.

Black Swan was outstanding and should be a heavy oscar fav.

Jeff Bridges has to be metioned in some of the best acting sons to follow their Father. I might not put him in the class of Alan Ladd/Alan Ladd Jr, or Lon Cheney/Lon Cheney Jr, or the Barrymores, but has to be over Alan Hale/Alan Hale Jr. (I want to say that Alan Hale Jr, besides a few odd Westerns, claim to fame was the "Skipper" In "Gilligan's Island".)

True Grit is on my list to go see.

I've never understood the love affair with John Wayne. I thought his mannerisms and dialogue delivery were pretty generic even for his time. He just seemed average to me.

I thought this movie was pretty solid. Not the best movie I've ever seen, but certainly one of the best performances by a young girl I've ever seen. She was tremendous. I don't like Matt Damon, but even he wasn't bad. I thought Bridges did a pretty great job too, and his character was very believable.

All in all I give this a 4.5 out of 5.

Better than Charlie Sheen?

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
