Ok, so one of our writers here has seen
3:10 to Yuma but sadly we have been placed with a review embargo until it's closer to release, so we can't really talk about. I can say that he might have thought it was really great and was something you can't afford to miss. He might have thought it was superbly acted and with shootouts cooler than robots on robots... but ya know... who knows. Anyway, here in the U.K the movie opens on September 14th which ironically is exactly 50 years after the
Glenn Ford and Van Heflin original hit the screens in 1957, and it went on to be BAFTA-nominated. Personally, in the 'year of disappointment' I'm gagging to see something of value on my screen.
Transformers,
Live Free or Die Hard,
Pirates of the Caribbean 3,
Fantastic Four 2,
Spider-Man 3 crap and the trend of 'playing it safe' is really starting to piss me off. These summer blockbusters are getting lazy and relying on their laurels to much if you ask me. Hopefully the September to December drama/horror/Christmas season will save the year like
The Departed,
Blood Diamond,
The Last King of Scotland,
Little Children,
The Prestige,
Pan's Labyrinth and
Casino Royale did last year. There's still time to save 2007 yet! source -
