I don’t think I’ve enjoyed any other movie this year more than this one. This is vintage Ridley Scott, who shows us why he’s possibly the best filmmaker working today and, in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~406940913284 Sat, 3 Nov 2007 03:18:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_406940913284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_406536097412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author homerboy - One can only wonder in awe how a film that gives away the entire plot in the title can be as special as &#147The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford&#148 is.

As far as the movie feeling like real life goes, this is far from it, despite a few honest and sincere moments. The slogan for the film is “plan to be... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~406478163588 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 18:54:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_406478163588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_405994376836?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author homerboy - I think we&#146ve finally sorted out who&#146s the actor and who&#146s the director in the Affleck family. Over the last few years, Ben Affleck has been one of the most criticized men in front of the camera in Hollywood. Behind the camera however,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~405994376836 Sat, 20 Oct 2007 02:01:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_405994376836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_405538967172?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author homerboy - Gripping and absorbing from beginning to end, &#147Michael Clayton&#148 is a well-crafted legal thriller.

After one screening of "3:10 to Yuma", now I know. This is one movie that completely derails after it gets going. A masterpiece this is not.
