Great movie! My wife grew up on a 2500 acre ranch in Montana and LOVES westerns. This one met our standards. Although there are certainly less westerns created now than in the past, I have to say that most of the recent ones are really building a body of work. This "True Grit", along with the original, will be added to our library. If Jeff Bridges OR Hailee Steinfeld don't get at least a nomination for best actor I will really be surprised. Hailee was as good as the reviewers have been saying, but Jeff was also outstanding.
Beautiful scenery, well rounded characters, enough action to keep it interesting. We were not disappointed.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Forget Darwinism

Though that might be the topic of this Ben Stein documentary, we could discuss the pros and cons of Darwinism vs. Creationism/ID for the rest of history and probably not come to any reasonable conclusion. Darwinism IS a religion, and as such, has just as many zealots as it’s followers accuse other religions of having.
The real issue is academic intolerance. I’m amazed that the academic community don’t recognize that they are doing the same thing they teach about the middle ages. Intolerance of those who question their opinions and motives.
This was a VERY thought provoking movie. My wife didn’t think she would like it. She said she would prefer to go see something “entertaining.” Well, Ben Stein pulled it off. He created a documentary that was also entertaining, and we left the theater discussing several aspects of the movie and the points he raised.
I would definitely recommend this movie to others, and will.
