With a title like
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford you know it's going to be a long movie. If they couldn't see fit to edit the title down, why would they bother with editing the movie? Well, to paraphrase Ron Burgundy, this movie is good but it is filling. It's also very quiet; there wasn't even much of a score. But the performances are good and the story is interesting. Casey Affleck is hella creepy. See it if you have a large bladder and almost 3 hours to kill.
Michael Clayton has a title that lets you know what the movie's about - a dude named Michael Clayton. I didn't know anything beyond that and "legal thriller" when I went to see it. The movie starts by dropping you right in the middle of things and then working backward, so if you're slow on the uptake, skip it or watch it in your living room when you can ask questions. It's a very well-done movie, and the end is kick-ass. I wouldn't say either of these movies are earth-shattering or particularly exciting. Wow, those are ringing endorsements. Go see these movies!
