I got around to watching 3:10 to Yuma and thought it was fantastic. Both Bale and Crowe were excellent, I always figured Bale was more suited for the bad guy type and Crowe for the good guy, but I was pleasently surprised with both of them. That guy that played Charlie Prince was also very good.
It's been a while since a new movie has had me all ecstatic about it, I just wish I saw it in the theater instead of a crappy xVid. Oh well, there's time for that. Two thumbs up.

I went to see a hidden pre-premiere last night and I got "Love in the Time of Cholera". It's a romantic drama with a lot of humor, set at the end of the 19th, first part of the 20th century. The story is about a young man that swears his eternal love to some girl but she's unable to be his, nice family and all that crap. The guy is devasted and finds quite nice way to deal with his heart-ache and get on with his life..
I ended up quite liking the film even though in the beginning it seemed like it's gonna be extremelly dull.

When calculating the worst movies of any year, the question is always whether to judge a movie on how bad it is on its own terms or just how bad it is for what was expected (such as "Spider-Man 3" or "Shrek the Third"). I prefer to do the former, because there is always a wealth of quality bad movies from which to select. So, without further delay, let's start the dissing ...
10. "Because I Said So"
Ouch, ouch, ouch! Is Diane Keaton still shrieking? I think I busted an eardrum ...
9. Tie: "Smokin' Aces"/"Shoot 'Em Up"
Nothing is worse than violence for violence's sake under the auspices of "comedy" -- especially when it's as revolting as these two self-consciously "hip" bloodbaths.
8. "Awake"
Dear Hayden Christensen and Jessica Alba,
We'd just like to remind you that when selecting new projects, it's always healthy to choose compelling scripts, directors who know the difference between drama and unintentional camp, and to always avoid working with either Harvey Weinstein or Dane Cook. The more mistakes you make, the less likely we'll still be around for you in the future!
Thinking of you constantly,
Your careers
7. "Rendition"
This movie made Hugh Jackman and his producing partner want Gavin Hood to direct "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"? Uh, oh. My mutant powers of prognostication are telling me trouble is on the horizon.
6. "Reservation Road"
It's hard to believe that smart actors such as Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Connelly and Joaquin Phoenix read this script and actually thought it wasn't a pretentious, melodramatic, painful-to-watch piece of crap -- let alone that its studio, Focus Features, thought it was a legitimate awards contender.
5. "Evan Almighty"
Can you just imagine the executive pitch on this one? "Let's make a sequel to a really funny movie but take all the comedy out of it! People will eat it up!" Steve Carell is just glad he spent those four weeks making "Little Miss Sunshine."
4. "Rush Hour 3"
There were numerous articles before the opening of "RH3" regarding how unfairly maligned publicity magnet, er, director Brett Ratner had been treated by movie critics and the media through the years. After people actually saw this lame and ludicrous comedy, that talk pretty much stopped.
3. "The Last Mimzy"
After the financial fiasco of "The Golden Compass," New Line honcho Bob Shaye is on thin ice with parent company Warner Bros., but he really should be on the hot seat for directing this insipid and forgettable flick at his own studio.
2. "Are We Done Yet?"
The only reason it's not No. 1 is because it was so bad, I walked out halfway through. Does anyone remember when Ice Cube was the bomb? (And, no, "Barbershop" doesn't count.)
1. "License to Wed"
Robin Williams used to be really funny. Now? Not so much. Mandy Moore seemed like she was ready to transition from wholesome pop star to legitimate actress. Now? It's gonna take a lot of work. John Krasinski? He's really glad his next movie is going to be directed by George Clooney.
