Happy new year! I'm starting 2011 off right with some movies. The very first was the original True Grit. After thinking that I would like to see it, I just so happened to find it at the library. I must say that the remake is much better, though. It updated the western classic and made it truly timeless. Some of the quick witted dialog is in the original, but it just isn't as funny (and the humor is the big reason why I loved the remake so much). I do like Mattie's boyish hairdo in this version, though. But otherwise, when it came to the styling, things looked so 70s (although the film was made in '69). I know John Wayne is supposed to be a legend, but I also found his delivery kind of...campy.
