Hope Yuma keeps another strong hold next weekend 'cause God knows it deserves at least $50 million.

BTW, who came closest to guess D-Wars tomato meter?

Agreed. Saw 3:10 to Yuma this weekend and it was well worth it.

nothing better than watching "the movie" that saved westerns and

brought it back for an entire generation. 3:10 to yuman a masterpiece and i know

i may seem nuts to even suggest but i wish there could be a sequel. just imagine

ben wade in a solo flick battling over who he is and who he could be. oh, well

can't wait until the jesse james movies! Go westerns!!!!

Death Wish: Attack of the Estrogen...won? oomph. that just looks like a dead on chic flick, i even heard Foster's character simply nags the villians to death. i actually saw Shoot Em Up this weekend and...it was pretty disappointing. i love clive owen but...he couldn't even make it that interesting. i'll give the film credit for having creative action scenes but...even that couldn't save the bad acting and the horrible casting of Giamatti. i know he has people who think he's something special but, dude just sucked. it was alot like Crank...without the energy. i knew i should have seen Yuma instead...

I'm happy to see Yuma holding up well. Nice to see three indipendent films that doing well in their opening weekend(Across the Universe, In the Valley of Elah, and Eastern Promises). This weekend I saw Sunshine which was pretty good, difinitely borrows from some other sci-fi films and go's alittle astray but it's beautiful and entertaining. Also saw Mr. Woodcock which was amusing, nothing new or great but amusing.

whoopdie do, bloody mathias. the only thing people care less about than d-wars itself is the sound of you tooting your own horn about trying to guess its tomato meter. i opted to spend my time seeing eastern promises. it was great and the steam bath fight was worth the price of admission. as for you bloody mathias, I predict a 92% chance of you spending another decade in your parents' basment.

some people were thinking yuma would be the return of the westerns

nope

the number one western of all-time was Dancing with Wolves and that was over 15 years ago

itll take a really good film that appeals to everyone for the western to return

i don't know what's more idiotic between screwing up the title of the movie you're trying to make a point about or making a statement so bold that it supposedly speaks for the entire movie-going public. king of cool indeed.
