I'll have to check out True Grit. I concede that I can be a bit of a cynic at times and allowed my disdain for the original cloud my judgment to the point of not even giving the remake a fair try. Not only am I a big admirer of the Coen brothers, Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite actors of the last 30 tears or so. I, too, was hooked bt Blood Simple and remained a devoted fan of the Coens until True Grit. I have been known to do my fair share of stupid things, and not giving True Grit a viewing with an open mind is one of them. I will watch it as soon as I get my hands on a copy.

Thanks again for your post. It's always nice to hear from a fellow movie lover who takes the time to help dummies like me better understand what they're missing.
