True Grit
The Grand Theater
Excellent
Very good movie, however very gorry. That doesn't bother me in the least, but I can't imagine the John Wayne version being as "gritty" I admit I haven't seen the original, I will put it on my to-do list. I thought the acting in this movie was superb. For someone who isn't crazy into westerns, this was one that made me at least a little thirsty for more. As a composer/musician I found the soundtrack very appealing. Throughout the movie different variations of the same hymn were used quite effectively to set the mood for the action on the screen. Go catch this in the theater if you still can.

David and I saw it in the theater last weekend. We both really love the original, and I thought this version was pretty good! Definitely get the original on Netflix though, you'll like it! I agree that the actors did a great job. I especially thought Matt Damon was a great choice for LeBouef. :-)
