I will admit that I do not have an advanced degree in Drama or have I performed on stage, Shakespearian or otherwise, but the criticism that Ms. McGraw received in some of these reviews sounds a bit much. Is there a "Let's Get Ali" Club out there? As far as her acting ability I do not find her as objectionable as some and, in fact, I like her. If that makes me something of an amateur in theatrics, well so be it! The critical remarks made against her go too far I think and border on gross insult. Frankly there are a numerous so-called actresses today who cannot act as far as I am concerned but I am not going on a tirade against them. I just don't watch them. Many people go "ga ga ga ga and ga" over Meryl Streep and frankly I would not pay a dime to see her perform. So therein lies the issue, some of us like certain actresses and others don't and vice versa! Besides, I miss the Lana Turners, Greer Garsons, Betty Davisis, Susan Haywards, Joan Crawfords, and other fine actresses from the 1940s, 50s and 60s!

What is all this talk about a remake of True Grit? I do not have anything personally against Jeff Bridges, but is not John Wayne. Is Tinsel Town so intellectually void they have to remake other movies? I have had the misfortune of seeing some of these remakes and the originals were much better. Of course, I am rendering a personal opinion here, so for those of you who want to indict me for whatever reason, back off! Frankly, I am not going to waste my money attending any remake of True Grit. For those who desire to, be my guest. I realize there are still a lot of John Wayne adversaries out there, who despised him for various and sundry reasons....however I do not recall Paul Newman, and his fellow travelers walking on water either! Apparently we need a fresh supply of writers who can actually come up with something new instead of rehashing films that should be left alone!

This is a magnificent display of boredom. The space ship was unbelievable but then this is a movie, so there. The acting was over dramatic and pretentious. It reminded me of a 6th grade attempt to make a sci-fi movie. (actually, I think the 6th grade attempt would be better.) I am sorry, I wish I could be more generous in my comment. I did give it a 2 out of a generous heart but that is as far as it goes. I was attending movies at the time this was made and I would have probably walked out on it as soon as I had finished my popcorn and drink; unless of course someone enticed me with a candy bar. It just did not come across in a serious light; now as a comedy it might have had potential.
