Brad Pitt stars in the new Western, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I'm always game for a good Western. It looks like it might be alright as long as they can balance the drama with some good action. What's a Western without a little six shooter action? Anyways, the movie is slated for an early October 2007 release and plot line goes a little something like this (as I pulled it off IMDB...)
Robert Ford joins Jesse James' gang, only to become resentful of the legendary outlaw and hatches a plan to kill the fastest gun in the West.
Looking for something to check out this weekend? I'm a little leary of another "Invasion" movie, but I think we'll give this one a shot.
