True Grit

True Grit is the 2010 Coen brothers remake of the 1969 John Wayne movie by the same name. This version has Jeff Bridges in the John Wayne role. I was quite prepared not to like this at all and had put it off for years, but it's a good movie. They did a great job of re-making a classic.

The NYT has a positive review. Empire Online concludes: "Terrific: tough, exciting, funny, gorgeous and bewitchingly acted, this is darn close to perfection."

Roger Ebert gives it 3 1/2 out of 4 stars and gives high praise to Jeff Bridges. Rotten Tomatoes has a critics score of 96%.

      I was surprised. I love it when that happens, and I like a movie I thought I wouldn't :)

    I love both versions of this film. Sometimes remarks aren't so good, but I think they did a great job casting. :) Hugs-Erika

      I agree with you about the casting. Perfect! I hadn't really seen the sense in remaking this one, but I'm glad they did.
