True Grit

A friend talked to me about True Grit  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Grit_(novel)  and how the remake of the movie is more consistent with the book than the first movie was. Another friend talked about the same thing, and referred me to the new movie http://www.truegritmovie.com/?gclid=CPbTxvKZoqYCFQxl7AodZ04WpQ.  I do not know what to know about the movie, and the book..

I am interested in your feed back about True Grit.
