09.09.07	Alamo South Lamar	I liked pretty much everything about this movie but Ben Younger. I just hate that guy. I didn't mind him when he was the probably-gay kid in Six Feet Under but now that he's all grown up and trying to play tough guys I don't buy it at all and I want him off the screen. He's got no business here. Anyway, I liked everyone else and while I don't really remember the original film TOO much, I felt this did a good job in re-telling it with more scenery and realism now expected of a Western. There's also more violence. I don't know if I 100% agree with how the film ends, but I also like that, even if it's a little hokey, it's still a definite choice. Oh, I also saw in the end credits that there are listings for assistant to Ben Wade, Dialogue Coach to Ben Wade, and make-up artist to Ben Wade. It got me thinking of all the fun eccentric things I could do if I was super rich and nobody dared quash my ego. There really should've been different people credited to Russell Crowe too just to make "the illusion" complete. Funniest credits I've seen since the last Naked Gun movie.
