The Coen brothers' new film is a remake of "True Grit." It stars Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin.

Not excited yet? Watch the trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uco41pOKeJg

STILL not excited? Well, I dunno, I guess there's something wrong with you.

I saw a longer/better trailer for this movie when I went to see The Social Network tonight; I'm eagerly anticipating this film; it'll be a good Christmas treat.

Nice.

It's an adapation of the original book, I look forwards to it, Coen Brothers are perfect for this kind of film!

Coen Bros + The Dude, this is something I'll watch in the theaters. Great cast overall.

loved the original john wayne classic..

dunno if i will see this just yet

The question is can Bridges pull off what John Wayne did?

He is a good actor, we'll shall see.

I haven't seen the original; is it any good?

It's a true John Wayne classic. I urge you to see it, sir.

Doubt they can top No Country For Old Men. That was masterpiece caliber.

Bridges can do a 878.65% better performance. /fact

Agreed.

I also agree but the Wayne fanboys will not. Clint is the best western actor.

New trailer I mentioned is online - http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/10/04/movie-trailer-full-theatrical-trailer-arrives-for-true-grit/

Much better music and trailer.

The trailer was cool, but I still have my reservations. Especially since Maaaaattt Daaammmonn is in the cast.

Oh come on, despite his distracting fivehead, Damon's a good actor in most roles.

I guess I can say that this film will be good.

Still, the original was one of the first JW films I have ever seen. I hope that the Coens do it justice.

Of course they will. But really, it's do the BOOK justice.

What a sob.

That poster is badass.

I really want to see this scene in the upcoming flick:

I am waiting eagerly for this movie. It is releasing on 25th of December on Christmas eve. I will watch it on the same day.

God, that was horrible. Clint stomps his ass, hes the best western actor of all time.

i am just not sold on josh brolin nor matt damon in this, but if someone changes my mind, i'm game

I think Matt will be fine, Josh is a good actor, he will do good.

Getting great reviews.

Saw this tonight, it was great. The whole cast really outdid themselves. It's very closely tied into the original film, with a few changes, it's a bit more violent, understandably. But it also seems to have a surprising amount of humor in it simply from Cogburn's mannerisms. My only actual complaint would be that Jeff Bridges had such a strong accent for the part that at times it's very hard to understand just what exactly he's saying. That becomes pretty evident at the court scene near the beginning, other than that he was perfect for the role though, and while I realize it may be borderline blasphemy I thought he did a better job as Cogburn than the Duke.

Short movie but its probably a good thing.

Good movie and worth the buy.

The only acting I didnt think was well is from Matt, even Berry did good, Jeff was Great. Josh's role is more like an cameo which is disappointing but his acting was good.

8/10

Not a good film.

Oh and Hailee Steinfeld for an young up coming actress was great.

This movie is boring. It's not necessarily a bad film but it just feels like nothing of consequence ever happens. The characters aren't even that interesting, aside from the little girl. My recommendation on this one is to pass.

What didn't you like about Matt Damon?

Also I'd just like to point this out because it bothered me, at the end she says a quarter of a century is a long time, and says that LaBoeuf would be close to seventy or eighty. Which makes me wonder just how old he was actually supposed to be? Either Damon and Glenn were miscast or the Coen Brothers dropped the ball on that

Damon's LaBoeuf felt empty, like a robot....no feeling in the acting. Bridges felt like he put more into the character, it felt more real and in depth.


Umm...didnt noticed thqat last part but LaBoeuf didnt look that old.

I'd say it's definitely worth going to the theaters to see man, most reviews are saying it's great and pretty much everyone I know that's seen it has thought it was great.

Ok,Thanks for the advice man,I'm going through a bit of a financial crisis at the moment,but if I have the spare cash,I might go see it.

I thought it was great too.
Well worth the admission.

saw this last night.. will always love the original, this was good though..

Hailee Steinfeld steals the show

just saw this movie over the weekend,total shitfest,boring as hell and a waste of time.I would recommend people to save your money on this one despite the casting of two good actors Matt Damon and Jeff Bridges.

very true about Eastwood being the best western actor.

Saw it. Liked it. 7/10.

I'm about there with you, enjoyable, but not great. I did have high expectations though.

This is a factually incorrect opinion. Jeff Bridges is the man.
