I can't get over how much I liked this movie. We rented it from Red Box last night. The kid, Hailie Steinfeld, stole the show. She's ten years younger than Matt! Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and the rest of the cast were great too. Wonderful scenes of Texas and Arkansas, seemingly authentic fashion styles and patterns of speech, and excellent acting all around made me quickly forget John Wayne, Glen Campbell, Kim Darby, et al., from the 1969 version. Of course, I enjoyed the old one just fine, even though I'm usually not all that crazy about Westerns. I didn't think I'd like this one very much, but it's one of the best movies I've seen this year.
