True Grit is just that.


I went and saw True Grit in the weekend. I really enjoyed it, it's a rollicking old watch with a few surprises that made me leap from my seat. 14 year old Hailee Steinfield is amazing.

It's a remake and I really liked what John Wayne said when he won the 1969 Oscar for best actor, 'If I'd known that, I would have put that eye patch on thirty-five years earlier'.

But one thing did strike me as odd in this version, I didn't realise that they had teeth whitening back in the wild west. Well, Matt Damon had found some witch doctor who carried it out and then obviously shot him, because everybody else could have done with a visit to a dentist.
