New on DVD/Blu-Ray - TRUE GRIT

"True Grit" is the Coen brother's own foray into the western genre. Not as much a remake of the John Wayne classic that earned him an Oscar in 1970, but a new adaptation of the novel written by Charles Portis. A story of revenge and redemption set in the old Wild West, the movie has a stellar cast, wonderful production values and a very articulate script written by the Coens. A complete movie in every way, exciting and immersive, featuring a breakout performance from newcomer Hailee Steinfeld, nominated for a Supporting Role Oscar this year. The movie was also nominated in 9 other categories, including Best Actor in a Leading Role - Jeff Bridges and Best Motion Picture of the Year.

Product Description : True Grit is a powerful story of vengeance and valor set in an unforgiving and unpredictable frontier where justice is simple and mercy is rare. Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld), is determined to avenge her father's blood by capturing Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), the man who shot and killed him for two pieces of gold. Just fourteen, she enlists the help of Rooster Cogburn (Academy Award® Winner Jeff Bridges), a one-eyed, trigger-happy U.S. Marshall with an affinity for drinking and hardened Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (Academy Award® Winner Matt Damon) to track the fleeing Chaney. Despite their differences, their ruthless determination leads them on a perilous adventure that can only have one outcome: retribution.
