The King's Speech and True Grit.

Went to see The King's Speech on Sunday. (I asked for The King's English at the box office --- doh, I knew I was going to do that...)

Good old-fashioned movie.

I thought it ironic it probably has more swear words than any movie you'll see this year.

And that the f-words and sh-words are hilarious and almost totally innocent.

Off to see True Grit.

Later:

I loved this movie. Best movie I've seen in ages. Couldn't imagine how they could improve enough on the old movie to make it truly unique, but I was wrong.

Some reviewer I read said it wasn't a 'funny' Coen brothers. What movie did he see?

It really felt like I was up in the woods in Central Oregon.

A star is born in the girl -- she was apparently only 12, playing 14, and she was pitch perfect. Matt Damon really has become a good actor. Jeff Bridges is Jeff Bridges -- and John Wayne -- and Rooster Cogburn.
