Looks like a really good one, i thought this movie was a horror from the previews, but i guess it's a drama, show's how much i pay attention lol.

[Zhora]

Sounds interesting. I hope it's good. You just don't see a lot of good new Westerns these days.

[Mdrio9]

I think this one looks so good. Very creeeeeeepy too.

[Wolf]

I love that it's a western movie. Like Zhora said, not to many of those being made anymore. I also thought it was a horror movie because of the previews. It has a great story and cast so hopefully, I'll catch it next weekend.

I am SUPER excited about this one; Cate Blanchett is my favorite actress. I can't wait!

The movie itself looks good, but TLJ is the wrong choice for this movie, I think. he makes me cringe in the trailers when he says completely without conviction "she should be scared, and you should be scared too."

He's a good actor, just not right for this role.

[fluff]

I really like TLJ.

I usually don't like this sort of movie, but Cate Blanchett is making the movie look most compelling in the trailers I have seen.

[LoneStarSpur]

Saw it Saturday. It was good, but at almost 2:30 it was too long and I feel Howard could have gotten it done in 2:00 or so.

Not as good as "Open Range", imho, but still a good movie and very injoyable. A DVD purchase for sure.

Again, RoTK has no worries from this movie in the Oscars.

I was hugely unimpressed. It was way too long and was completely predictable. The Indian witch was genuinely scary but otherwise I thought it was a major flop.
