A Snowed in Week-end

8. True Grit (2010)
I loved the John Wayne version and therefore this had to be AWESOME to compare. It almost was. Hailee Steinfeld as Mattie Ross and Matt Damon as LaBoeuf were much better than the 1969 version. Jeff Bridges is brilliant but he isn’t John Wayne.
So a Bloody Awesome Movie – WATCH IT – but my baggage took the shine off.

9. Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)
Shame, good but not as good as the 2 trilogies. I’m glad I bought it and I’m happy I did.

10. Lost Treasure of the Maya (aka No Bad Days) (2008)
Dear God! The movie equalivant of “Dumb Blonde”, avoid this like something you could catch from a “Dumb Blonde”.

11. The Time Traveller’s Wife (2009)
A sci-fi chick flick, very interesting, glad I’ve seen it but it IS a chick-flick.
