True Grit (2010)

True Crap

[1/10 · 27 December 2010]

Fight scenes look fake. Dialogue is terrible. Poorly designed props-you could catch 1 or 2 rubber rifles bending. Not one actor shows safe firearms handling technique. Has none of the breath-taking scenery from the original. The original was far more realistic-had a bit of comedy to offset the drama....just like real life. The Duke is indeed spinning in his grave. This is the one to miss. NO-ONE!!! can remake The Duke. Fight scenes look fake. Dialogue is terrible. Poorly designed props-you could catch 1 or 2 rubber rifles bending.

Highlander II: The Quickening (1991)

There should have been only one.

There should have been only one. Pitiful story line. There should have been only one. Awful special effects. There should have been only one. Unbelievably shallow and stupid characters. There should have been only one. Even the normally superior actors (Connery and Ironside) gave poor performances. There should have been only one. The next sequel should have been called: Highlander III-The apology. There should have been only one. Pitiful story line. There should have been only one. Awful special effects.

Angel and the Bad Man (2009 TV Movie)

Cheesy remake of a John Wayne Classic

Nobody does it better. I repeat, NOBODY, does it better than The Duke. Don't bother watching this until you can see it for free. John Wayne is The Ultimate Cowboy! Nobody does it better! Nobody ever did it better! Nobody ever will do it better! To try and copy him is a fools errand.

If you wanna watch LaBamba, Lou Diamond Phillips is the perfect choice. If you wanna see teenage cowpunks go bad and shoot up town after town, he can get the job done. If you wanna see teenage punks screw up in high school and make the teacher look like an idiot, he's pretty good at that, too.

Remake a John Wayne film?!?!? NO WAY!
