a year in Movies week #5

I know its late:
Great thing that I’m not on an actual schedule/dead line to get these things out huh?
Well "Week #5" was an interesting week.
Netflix has been acting up but that didn’t stop me from finding great finds.

"3:10 to Yuma"
-Western-
Great western film staring Russell Crow and that guy who played Angel in X3. Instead of a "Good cop vs. Bad Bandit" story (in which it starts off with) it ends with the theme of innocence and the rarity it is to find. Don’t want to spoil the story for you, great acting, every character was a nice living being, and the directing was outstanding. A modern classic even if you don’t like the Western genre.

"Rambo 3"
-Action-Yea, finally done with the Rambo Trilogy, and am geared up to view the new "John Rambo" Film. To Rambo 3's credit, most of us today remember the ridiculous story, muscles, and Rambo destroying a Hin-D Russian helicopter with an arrow. But after swimming through the male testosterone you find a creepy film giving the Afghanistan Rebels (Al Qaeda present day) credit for not bending in the face of extreme opposition. Rambo is touched by the Warbound reasoning of these people and saw true meaning in the way they think. All I can say is that you gotta watch this film and see for yourself, and enjoy the bloodbath that is in every corner.
