The. Rock. Is. Back.

See how excited Dwayne Johnson is to be back "home" kickin' ass in an action film.

This hyperkinetic movie sees him racing out of jail to avenge his brother's death, in a relentless pursuit of retribution.

Add a little conspiracy, intrigue and a corrupt cop played by Billy Bob Thornton, and what you have is a breakneck ride with attitude....

Jeff Bridges' take on John Wayne's Rooster Cogburn in TRUE GRIT has earned him back to back Oscar nominations, after his win last year for CRAZY HEART.

The Coen Brothers also picked themselves up three nominations for writing, directing, and producing this new interpretation of the Charles Portis novel. It's a fresh look at an old-fashioned Western that veers away from the 1969 original.

But the bigger news might be the nomination for the 14 year old Hailee Steinfeld, who plays the avenging daughter.
