I highly recommend True Grit. This is probably no surprise to regular readers, who are well aware of my love of all things old-timey, Jeff Bridges, and Coen Brothers. I will say this movie isn't as Coen Brothers-y as I'd expected, but it is a fantastic, solid western. It's nice to go into a movie trusting that the filmmakers aren't going to totally fuck you over. You can just relax and know justice will be done, with some delightful Matt Damoning thrown in.
Going to True Grit is like having a spa day. I predict this DVD will join my "relaxing Saturday afternoon western" rotation of Jeremiah Johnson and The Electric Horseman. Congratulations, True Grit. You made it.
