True Grit (remake)

I just got around to watching the remake of True Grit. I believe the Duke was done proud. The movie was well done and the dialogue was nearly the same. A couple things were different from the John Wayne version.

Discussion?

Haven't gotten to see it yet Tim but it's on the list. Glad you enjoyed it....I'll have to bump it up a little.

I thought it was awesome although I have a soft spot for old western type movies. I blame my grandpa for that one.

I just watched it (literally, a few minutes ago). It was close enough to the original to please the die hards, yet just different enough to... well, please the die hard Duke loyalists.

Anyone else find it ironic that the part of Ned Pepper was played by Barry Pepper?

Barry Pepper was the Dale in "3" wasn't he?

So who was in the Rooster Cogburn role?

Jeff Bridges.
Played a bit gruffer and nastier than the John Wayne version.

I wasn't going to watch the re-make because I didn't think the original could be improved upon. But it is a great movie in it's own right. I believe it is closer to the book than the Duke's version was.
