Sewanee Union Theatre This Week Friday–Sunday, April 1–3 True Grit 110 minutes • PG-13 • Admission $3 Remaking a classic movie is a challenging task, but the Joel and Ethan Coen did a splendid job when they took on “True Grit.” Returning not so much to the 1969 movie starring John Wayne but to the book by Charles Portis, this version is understated and strong. Jeff Bridges stars as Rooster Cogburn, the one-eyed Marshall that 14-year-old Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) hires to help fi nd the killer of her father. Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (Matt Damon) joins them on the journey. The scenery is gorgeous, the acting solid, and the language beautiful. When Rooster said, “I’m a fool- ish old man who’s been drawn into a wild goose chase by a harpie in trousers and a nincompoop,” I was hooked. Rated PG-13 for some intense sequences of western violence including disturbing images.
