    True Grit Screener

    Excellent. Just watched this.

    Brought back a lot of memories of the 1969 original. Bridges does a fine job. He played the role not of Cogburn but of Wayne. It recalled to my mind reading something years back a respected critic wrote about Wayne and and critics of his acting, he wrote something like: Many critics do not get it Marion Morrison woke up everyday and played the part of John Wayne, he was a superior actor.

    Touche.

    Yes, it was a fun movie. Easy to shoot holes in the storyline I suppose. But a very enjoyable evening at the movies.

    Enjoy! Nice film through and through.

    The music is also both fitting and enjoyable.


    I have always enjoyed Coen Brothers' films. "Miller's Crossing" will forever remain my favorite but have enjoyed them.
