Filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen have been making feature films since "Blood Simple" in 1984. Just a year ago, they released the somber movie "A Serious Man," but their latest picture is "True Grit," a remake of the 1969 western with John Wayne. Colorado Public Radio film critic Howie Movshovitz did not need this remake.
