True Grit

[DMC1]

Anybody have any inside info on the showing of True Grit in Pattaya ? It only appears to be showing in BKK at the moment and I really fancy seeing this on the big screen.

i called in the cinema in the Central Festival Center and they say they are expecting it next week

i too want to see it on the big screen and have resisted buying the pirate DVD even as impatient as i am to see it

Excellent movie. Saw it last month.

Don't waste you time. The original was far better and I was very disappointed with this remake.

Never was a John Wayne fan so i never saw the original but i enjoyed this one so maybe i should seek out the original to view on DVD and decide for myself.

in the original Mattie Ross (Kim Darby) has some cracking one liners delivered with perfect comedic timing

The original movie was simply a John Wayne vehicle. Some folks like him, I suppose, but IMO, if you've seen one John Wayne movie, you've seen them all.

But worse was that the Wayne movie failed to capture the feeling and mood of the original book. I was disappointed to see the version with Wayne when it was released, and much more so with the movie itself. The remake follows the book much more closely, and in that way, was much more enjoyable that the Wayne version. Well, in every way, IMO...
