Re: True Grit

Hope to see it this afternoon.  One of the nurses saw it and liked it.  I asked her if Bridges was good and she said everybody in it was great.  She said it with a lot of enthusiasm.=========Megan Follows in the first "Anne of Green Gables"
mini-series.=========Yeah, I remember. She was really good.

I'm going tomorrow. My son, 17, surprised me by saying he wanted to see it. The last thing he went to see with me was Avatar.

Saw it tonight, found it fantastic. Jeff Bridges is such a star. Young

Hailee Steinfeld is sharp, smart, and terrific, and reminded me of

nothing so much as Megan Follows in the first "Anne of Green Gables"

mini-series. Matt Damon is solid, Josh Brolin and Barry Pepper are

fine, but a bit wasted. I've never seen the original, as I'm not a

huge fan of John Wayne or westerns in general, but this movie

surprised me by how funny it is. And not "dark, quirky, Coen Brothers"

funny, just plain laugh-out-loud funny. It's not a comedy by any

stretch, but in Rooster Cogburn they've certainly found the lighter

side of a pretty dark character. I enjoyed this movie immensely, and

wouldn't mind seeing it in the theater a second time.



I'm wondering if the weekend estimates might end up being low. We went

to the 2:45 matinee today, only to find it sold out -- something I've

not experienced in years. We then tried to get tickets to the 5:15

show, but it was also sold out. We finally got tickets to the 5:45,

and when we arrived around 5:30, the theatre was so packed the manager

had to come in and ask everyone to move to the center of their rows to

make room. Before the lights dimmed, I did a quick scan of the room

and saw no available seats, so I'm assuming this show sold out as

well.



Maybe Omaha is anomaly, but I know they work out the box-office

tallies Sunday morning, based on the performances of Friday and

Saturday night, but Christmas and Christmas eve were factors, and I

wonder if Sunday will end up being bigger than estimated.
