True Grit

Very good!  I recently watched the original 1969 version with John Wayne in anticipation of this one's release, and the 2 are similar in parts but very different at times too.  This version is much more serious and dramatic, where the first one was a little more comedic.  Regardless, I really liked it.  The girl that played Mattie Ross was GREAT, Jeff Bridges was good as the gruff and alcoholic Rooster Cogburn, and Matt Damon was perfectly arrogant as LeBeouf.  Overall it was exciting in a gun-slinging kinda way (it is, after all, a Western!)  I would definitely CHECK IT OUT!
