Just saw The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. What an amazing film, great cinematography, music, atmosphere, acting, directing and so on. Highly recommended. Has anybody seen it here?

It totally took me by surprise. And that Casey Asslick guy sure can act.

You're actually the first person I know who gives this film a positive review. Havn't seen it myself.

I admit it's not a blockbuster movie and some might say it was dragging for too long but that gave the movie its beauty. None of the theaters here are gonna show it just because of those reasons.

Here's the soundtrack by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis. Hope the link works.

equal parts loved it and hated it, then woke up in the morning unable to decide if it was a classic or just an overlong, pretentious Calvin Klein ad with Brad squinting while standing in corn fields.
Bits of it are really incredible though

I like Brad Pitt... can't stand Casey Affleck...
... C. Affleck only seems good when he's expected to play a 'punk kid'... he's got the Affleck smirk down (makes you wanna haul off and kick him in the junk when he does it... )
... he's like... the Derek Jeter of the film industry.
- You just likened him to one of the greatest baseball players in the history of baseball.flavorful
- Don't insult Jeter with that correlation.flavorful
- just the smirk, dude... nothing more... jeter's got this smirk... you just wanna... ohhhh!!PonyBoy
- I don't like Ben Affleck at all, but I have seen Casey in some projects and he's pretty good.Jaline

Actually seeing this tonight. Unfortunately I can only make the 9 o'clock show and I'm feeling pretty knackered now. Coffee extravangaza coming up.

I fell asleep 20 min. into it.

it's rather slow moving but quite brilliant. very terrence mallick inspired i suppose and if in the right mood, it is thoroughly enjoyable. cinematography alone makes it worth watching. although i wish they had focused more on jesse james than they did.
the soundtrack by nick cave and warren ellis was my favorite part of the movie.

I managed to stay awake. Pretty easy considering how good the film was. Loved the pinhole camera stuff and I thought Brad Pitt gave probably his best performance ever. My only complaint would be the appearance of Nick Cave as a bar musician. It just made me jump out of the movie temporarily because, hey, it's Nick Cave. Which just goes to show how well the 'stars' of the movie did as I totally believed their characters and motivation. A strong film, fantastic cinematography, excellent cast and haunting soundtrack.
Deserves Oscars.

I saw this one as a private screener. I thought it was good.
