eggsellent.

Westerns are the shizz and its good to see them. They are our particularly American film genre and we should support them when quality ones get made.

I highly recommend the film. Pretty violent, but not much gratuitous secks, and none of that was explicit. The "Gladiator" d00d (Russell Crowe) was believable in the role of a really bad man with a few redeeming qualities. His gang of cutthroats would have made Headly LaMarr proud.

Methinks I need to score the 1957 film on which it was based. Peter Fonda was a plus too.

Go see it.

Next up: Brad Pitt plays Jesse James -- coming later this fall. Maybe the only time a Missouri actor has ever played the guy in a feature length film.

No secs makes it an automatic 4 stars out of five. ;)

I like violins...

I guess that means you gave Brokeback at least a 1 star ;)

rented and watched it today. Pretty good movie, although I was a little perplexed at times by the amount of cooperation the Crowe character provided. Not at the end of the movie, but the other times.

It's already out on BD. With a 7.1 uncompressed PCM track to boot. Sounds great.

I watched the original last summer sometime, not bad. I am sure this one has a lot more violence in it. We shall soon find out, the wife brought it home from the video store this afternoon.

Actually...I've never seen Brokeback.

What did you think about it Jeremy?

BTW...

I did see 3:10 to Yuma.

Not as good as Unforgiven but it's a decent Western.

Russell Crowe is very good in it.
