  • True Grit

    I've seen this trailer in the previews of the last three movies I've gone to. I am a sucker for anything the Coens do so I'm excited. Still over a month away from release though.

      I think this movie looks awesome. Jeff Bridges is terrific. I haven't seen the original in years and not sure I'll watch it before seeing this.

        Agreed. How can one exhibit true grit within the parameters of "PG-13"?

          I've mentioned elsewhere that I just read the book and it's fantastic. Since the Coens have stated that they're not so much remaking the John Wayne film as they are doing an adaptation of the book, it's well worth seeking out.
          Kids in general these days seem more socially retarded...

          None of them date. They hang out. They text. They sit in the same car or room and don't say a word...they text. Then, they go home and whack off to internet porn.

          I think that's the sad truth about why these kids are retards.

            I wonder if they will redo one of the best movie scenes ever where John Wayne is riding his horse and shoting at those four guys coming at him.

                    Just saw the ad for this on TV. I'm excited to see the movie.

                      Mixed feelings on this movie. How do you remake one of the "Dukes" movies? Everything that comes out of Bridges mouth...it seems like I am instantly comparing it to how John Wayne would have done it. Hmmm...will wait for your reviews.

                        I can't wait to see it, but it does seem sacreligious

                        I may be small, but I'm slow.

                          It's the Coen Brothers. They get a pass. Have you seen my favorite movie of all time?

                            Same. Looks great. But for some reason the pg-13 rating really left me feeling less optimistic. Coen Brothers rated R serious drama/dark comedy: usually an A. Coen Brothers rated PG silly comedy: usually a C.

                              Bridges seems completely over the top and not real with his acting.
