“I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I expect the same from them." -John Wayne (The Shootist)

Ok so as you can probably guess if I were to pick out a movie for Drew and I to watch, I would most likely pick a chick flick or a romantic comedy. Blood and guts are not my thing, and thank goodness that I didn’t marry a boy who loves horror movies…NO THANK YOU!!! Real life is scary enough. That being said I did marry a boy who loves a good Western. I am going to go ahead and admit that this would not be something that I would generally sit down and thoroughly enjoy, but AMC had a John Wayne marathon this weekend and I decided to take one for the team. Rather than sitting down and vegging all day, I made use of my friend the DVR and recorded the whole thing. And thus the gun slinging and cattle roping began. We began our journey with the original “True Grit” and the last one we watched was “El Dorado” I think we have a few more to watch, but let me tell you this girl is sold. Who knew John Wayne was so awesome? I never thought I would be a lover of Westerns, but I also never thought I would enjoy watching dirt bike races and hunting either. That being said, if you are skeptical about horse riding, gun toting, cowboy and indian type movies, sit down and watch a John Wayne movie…you might just be surprised.
