Saw True Grit this weekend and really enjoyed it. The performances were excellent although I found the film slow. Somehow I remember the original one more suspenseful and entertaining. What I did love about this film was the New Mexico setting. Nothing beats the beauty of northern New Mexico which like a chameleon can become anything the film needs it to be from an 1800 site to a stark future-scape as in Denzel's film this last year.
How could someone not want to move here and explore our Enchanting state even more? Well, if you want to find some good vacation homes in Northern New Mexico with lake access, call me.

TRUE GRIT RETURNS
So excited that the remake of this great film with John Wayne is about to be released. We are all quite proud here in New Mexico that it was mostly filmed here. Perfect settings. We ARE historical USA.
So I never met John Wayne when I lived in Hollywood, but Robert Mitchum his counterpart, was a great friend. His son and then wife were my best friends. She and I and Sharon Tate were a threesome that hung out at famous parties, Beverly Hills bars and all places to be seen at. Often we hung out at Robert Mitchum's home which was near mine in one of the Canyons. I remember one huge New Year's Eve party when they tented the backyard and had food and music all night. ARound three am after the caterers had left, I got hungry and Robert fixed me fettucine with some noodles he had just imported from Italy. The most delicious fettucine of my life but I got the worst stomach ache which I never told him. I spoke to him two weeks before he died and he was charming and feisty as usual.
