Miscellaneous Movie Musings

I saw "3:10 to Yuma" this evening at a really crappy theatre - the AMC City Walk. Yes, I worked 18 years as a projectionist and it bothers me when there are scratches and the zenon bulb is not focused properly, among other things. Damnit!

Anyway - I enjoyed it - It was one of those films where you're not quite sure where it will end up (Unless you saw the original or read the short story, which I've not) It was long in parts and the acting was both Crowe and Bale at their usual - nothing too great but good.

I see why the released it now, instead of during the Oscar race. It might get something, but I doubt it. I think in a "greater" directors' hand it might have been easier to sit thru.

3:10 to Yuma gets 6 bornieo's out of 10. Mostly hinging on a better than average script. I'm eager to read the short story.
