FYC, or How 3:10 To Yuma is a Crowe-Bale faceoff








For Your Consideration (A Blog Next Door Style) - 3:10 To Yuma
It's my blog and I'll FYC if I want to, FYC if I want to...

Hot off its SAG Ensemble nomination and hoping for a good showing at the BAFTAs , I offer here the first FYC of 2008:After I saw it in theatres back in September I said it was one of the best films I'd seen all year with an electrifying performance by Russel Crowe (much better than his good cop shtick opposite a boring Denzel in that Ridley gangster movie), a good non-Batman or Bateman performance by Christian Bale and an appealing homoerotic crazed up turn by Xmen alumni Ben Foster. It has indeed been a great year for Westerns, and this one doesn't disappoint: definitely a great addition to your Netflix queue.
