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?

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
