True Grit

3 Paws

Seen Dec. 31 @ Aksarben Cinema

What a great way to close out 2010 movie viewing! It was worth it just to hear Jeff Bridges growl and spit his way through the clever dialogue, but there's so much more - including a bear on horseback and what could become one of 2011's hottest fashion trends...furry chaps.

Bonus Bones: 2

Look for the couple of dog "extras" in the initial town scene when Mattie Ross arrives to settle her father's affairs.

Welcome.

Sam loves movies. But don't worry, she won't bore you with her rabid knowledge of genres, actors, directors, cinematographers, plot points and memorable dialogue. She's going to give you the simple skinny on each film she sees. Her rating system:

3 Paws

...a real tail wagger, tell all your friends

2 Paws

...almost as good as going on a long walk, but not quite

1 Paw

...not worth a single sniff

Bonus bones will be awarded to films with dogs in them.

Off to the movies...
