John Wayne made some incredible Western movies during his long characters and TRUE GRIT (1969) was one of his best ever. Recently, Hollywood has been not only stuck on making sequels and remakes of famous movies and television shows, but seems that this is all they are producing nowadays and to make it even more annoying they are doing it more and more in 3D.
The night started off on a positive note, recognising Roger Abbot of AIR FARCE fame when I was entering the Varsity Cineplex Theatre. The TRUE GRIT (2010) actually started out not as a mediocre Western but then weakens fast with not even 1/100th of the excitement of the original to a stupid ending.
Filmmakers really need to stop making remakes and make movies with more originality, more action and more excitement. In schools people get in trouble for copying other people's work, it's time for others to as well.
