We don’t often get new releases on a Saturday, but Christmas sort of creates its own rules. Here’s a quick and handy guide to what’s coming out in theaters this weekend, courtesy of the insatiable film junkies here at Cinematical. Happy Holidays!

True Grit‘ — “Ultimately, though, if your biggest gripe about a flick is that you wish it was longer, then that’s probably a darn good film. ‘True Grit’ might not go down as one of the Coen’s most “unique” experiments, but it sure might be recalled as one of their coolest.” — Erik Davis (full review)
