True Grit
The first tease of one of the few question marks of the season, Ethan and Joel Coen's True Grit. Technically a remake of the the classic western which won John Wayne's his lone Oscar, but supposedly more faithful to the original novel than the original film. I'm not really a western fan by nature, but the mixing of Coen Brothers\Jeff Bridges (he's The Dude!), the Roger Deakins photography will get me there in a flash.
