I'm not in the right loop it seems. What I want to watch is not what the critics seem to deem worthy. Maybe I'm just too simple a movie-goer.<BR/><BR/>Maureen, I'm so impressed that you know the directors well enough to make your choices for that category.<BR/><BR/>3:10 to Yuma is on my I-really-need-to-see-that-movie list. I loved the original version.K.M.

I just have problems accepting Denzel as a bad guy (always seems like a good guy pretending to be a bad guy to me) and I thought the movie could've done with some editing...<BR/><BR/>Westerns aren't normally my thing, but I did love 3:10 to Yuma.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24994577.post-85572567340158337682008-02-23T17:15:00.000-05:002008-02-23T17:15:00.000-05:00I wasn't a Russell Crowe fan, but after seeing him...I wasn't a Russell Crowe fan, but after seeing him in 3:10 to Yuma, I became a convert and think he was robbed. <BR/><BR/>And being a transplanted Haligonian, I'm pulling for our hometown girl Ellen Page to win.
