true grit

i've never seen the original film with john wayne but thought i'd give this one a try.  i went to see it with my dad who loves the original.  its a great story of a girl who wants to find and arrest the men who killed her father.  she goes and hires jeff bridges character to track them down and she goes along on the journey.  the bridges character is very cool and the whole movie rests on his shoulders.  everyone in it does a great job and its a fun one to watch, especially if you like westerns.
