If you're like me, you watched the remake of True Grit leaned back in your theater seat, awaiting the moment in which Rooster Cogburn would lecture us about the plight of the "native" Americans. When the sermon failed to materialize, I was positive it would be revealed in the closing scenes the beauty of a repressed lesbian "marriage" involving Mattie. To my amazement, no such tripe worked its way into this outstanding film.
I might even venture to say there could be hope for Hollywood given the purity of True Grit as well as the thoroughly manly film Taken from a couple of years ago. Could a centennial biopic of President Reagan starring Ted Nugent be far behind? I'm not holding my breath.
