Every now and then I will forget how much I hate Western movies and I will go see something like 3:10 to Yuma. Here's my basic beef with Westerns: they glorify bad guys -- and there's a lot of that in this one.
In 3:10 to Yuma, Russel Crowe is the badass robber who is aprehended and needs to be delivered to a train heading to prison. Christian Bale is the good guy who helps the law enforcement folks in their effort to put Russel in jail. The movie is pretty boring except that the last half hour gets pretty interesting; the result is still a mediocre movie, though.
On some level, I think Russel and Christian fell in love with each other, but maybe that was just in head...no actual gay content was present.
Now I just have to forget my hate for Western movies one more time to go see Jesse James when/if it comes out.
