I suppose you really liked True Grit!

I did! We (my wife and I) like to preface our movie reviews, especially for those movies not on the Happy Meal boxes, we don't get out much. Sometimes are reviews are tainted by the fact we were giddy just to be out, in a theater, on a date watching a grown up movie. I liked how to Train A Dragon as well. Most of the movies up for Best Picture, ya, we never saw them. Sigh.
