1. More recommendations please.
2. "Oozing skull" sounds cool but isn't on Netflix. That makes things difficult. I want to rent not buy!
3. Why was "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Traitor Robert Ford" the screenshot but not in the segment.
4. In an earlier article, SZ mentioned that she is from from upstate NY. Where?
"3:10 to Yuma" was CRAAAAAAAAP. The most over hyped movie of the year. Slow, boring and uninteresting. How much were you paid to give it a good review?
I have to agree with 'ChillyDogg'. 3:10 to Yuma was not very good. Incredibly mediocre, in fact.
That movie had more stupid situations than any reasonable person should abide. My favorite worst was that while Crowe is brought to the town, he kills two of the band with his hands cuffed in front. In the real west, he would have been shot on the spot, hanged or at the least cuffed behind his back! No, he goes on to kill another member later, still survives to reach the town. Then, while his partner rides openly in the street offering money to kill Bale, Bale, a sharpshooter in the Civil War, just looks on, wimpily. Then Crowe shoots all the members of his gang? He whistles for his horse? You gotta be kidding me. Was the Russell Crowe or Roy Rodgers? Just to absurd to watch. Truly one of the worst concoctions ever. I have not seen the original in many years, but do remember that I liked it a lot at the time. This one? You cannot be serious. What does this so called "bond" rest upon? I could go on.
