3:10 to Yuma

Coming out in 2 weeks, starring Russel Crowe and Christian Bale. What do you think?

Has anyone seen the original with Glen Ford? When I heard they were making a remake, I went and borrowed the original movie. It was pretty good, but mostly just your average 50's western, with some brilliant acting from Ford.

I think this remake looks great from the trailers. The original movie left lots of room for modification and improvment.

What do we think?

I want to see it, I hope its better than Seraphim Falls, that was a terrible western. It should be pretty sweet, Russel Crowe, Christian Bale, can't really go wrong. (I don't think)

Testimony: one of the worst westerns which I've seen was "The Quick and the Dead"...it was one of those movies that though it was 'so cool'...it had lame-O editing tricks, such as: quick close ups whenever one of the characters did some kind of cool smirk . Retarded movie. And Sharon Stone as a sheriff? Somebody pass me the frijoles!

Incidentally there are two movies called "the quick and the dead" the earlier one was with Sam Elliott and was pretty much B average to B+, the other one with Sharon Stone I never watched; looking at the cover was enough to make me (insert a euphemism here).

Think I might have seen that one around too...
Yeah, Sharon Stone...try casting Danny Devito as Batman.
