are there anymore out there worth watching? i'm talking more recent than
"tombstone" and "unforgiven" more in the last decade or so
Man! 310 To Yuma just ok! I thought that was one of the most superb Westerns I've seen. Might just watch it right now! It'll make me less of a bubbling crybaby after watching Stranger than Fiction.

It's been awhile since I watched it but I remember thinking the ending was crap.

let me say that i was in love with the movie until...
russell crowe, the most dangerous, dirty and nasty SOB around
turns soft and kills all his entire gang.. who are trying desperatley to save
him from being hung.. simply because he feels sorry for a poor, down
on his luck farmer who is trying to send him away to be executed.. i don't know, i started
to roll my eyes when crowe could have killed bale and instead voluntarily
went along with him and started shooting his own men.. so, dirty criminal
who doesn't care about anyone but himself has numerous chances to get
away and save his life.. but he feels bad for some dude he just met and
decides to give up his life just so the farmer can get $200 and some pride back?
and i understand he planned on escaping.. ie.. whistling for his horse.. i just thought
it was a lame way to end an otherwise badass movie..
overall the movie was great, it had a great look, supurb acting and direction,
but the hollywood
ending was just a disappointment.

Have you seen Open Range?
no, that Costner, no? any good?
Open Range is Ok-worth a view. Costner is in it. But so is Robert Duvall.
If you get a chance, check out the original "3:10 to Yuma" - has its hokey 1950s western moments - but all in all pretty damn good. The ratcheting up of the tension with the clock winding down was superior IMO to the remake.

I think you'll like it. Slow pacing with fantastic cinematography. I need to watch it again, but I remember liking it.
