sox4lifeinPA Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Russel Crowe is the most likable (not lickable) bad ass in chaps. Saw "3:10 to Yuma" last night. I loooooved it. Crowe has in the top 5 best actors alive: (De Niro, Crowe, Pacino, Bale (in tie for first), and tie for fifth with Denzel and Tom hanks. Minus points to Denzel for making s***ty movies now and minus points for Tom hanks for making s***ty movies in the past) So anyway, this film has two of the top 5, PLUS, Peter Fonda, Luke Wilson, Dallas Roberts, Ben Foster, Alan Tudyk, and Gretchen Mol... funniest thing I read from IMDB.com: Eric Bana was in initial negotiations to star opposite Tom Cruise in this film. (Bana would have been decent, but Cruise would have had to use one of those midget horses.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. alas, I wasn't cool enough to see the original. From what I've read it's just as good. The expand on the back histories of some of the characters more.

To be fair, Tom Hanks hasn't made a good movie in a while either. 1. The Great Debaters (2007) (post-production) .... Don’t know anything about it. 2. American Gangster (2007) (completed) .... Russell Crowe will be awesome 3. Deja Vu (2006) Sucked 4. Inside Man (2006) Story Awesome, Denzel so-so 5. The Manchurian Candidate (2004) Sucked 6. Man on Fire (2004) Story Awesome, Denzel Awesome 7. Out of Time (2003/I) Didn’t see it – from what I hear, I didn’t miss anything 8. Antwone Fisher (2002) Didn’t see it – from what I hear not bad 9. John Q (2002) Average 10. Training Day (2001) Grossly Over-rated...liked it better when it starred Chow Yun Fat and Mark Wahlberg (the corrupter) 11. Remember the Titans (2000) Decent 12. The Hurricane (1999) Boring 13. The Bone Collector (1999) Lame 14. The Siege (1998/I) Decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and I actually liked Deja Vu and the Manchurian Candidate remake quite a bit. Training Day I didn't think was a particularly great movie (it had some very good elements), but I do think Denzel did a fantastic job in it.

Milkman delivers Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Just got back from 3:10 To Yuma. I guess it was a good movie, but I left feeling sort of confused with Crowe's character's actions at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) Not a good movie at all. I had high hopes for this movie after seeing the trailer and that leaked sex scene. After watching it I wanted to find a reason for liking it but I couldn't. It failed at everything Crank and to a lesser extent Smokin' Aces succeeded in. I had no idea about this movie and saw it after reading some of the reviews on rotten tomatoes. I was laughing at all the action movie cliches. Smokin' Aces was a horrible movie as that wasn't funny at all, and I had no idea if it was supposed to be a comedy, a thriller, a drama, or an action movie. Shoot 'Em Up was all about the cliches.

I feel the exact same way, agree on all accounts. Smokin' Aces was an absolute joke of a f***ing movie it couldn't decide what it wanted to be, it just dragged for the full 108 minutes with not a single good performance from any of the "big name" actors that for whatever reason decided to participate in the project. I remember the night I went to see it, I actually came on here at like 4 AM just to b**** about it since so many people here were so excited to see it. At least Shoot 'Em made its intentions known from the very beginning and didn't attempt to be anything more than it is. On a related note Paul Giamatti should not have been in this movie. That was just poor casting IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what it was doing with the cliches, and the satire, and the brainless action, but it was too thick. I give it somewhere between a 5 and a 6. Not horrible, but not great.

RibbieRubarb Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) Indy 4 has a title: INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL. It was annouced during the VMA's last night by Shia Lebouf, but has since been confirmed.
