So I saw '3:10 to Yuma'

An old school western flick as I remember from childhood. Russell Crowe seethes with danger in a cool, understated way as baddy Ben Wade; Christian Bale's Dan Evans is heroic in the way he looks after his family. Classic.

(Running time: 122 minutes)

So I saw 'Rambo'

I've never seen anything like it. It was one ultra-violent scene after another in between sparse dialog, and midway the movie an initial sense of triumph had to give way for uncomfortableness.

(Running time: 92 minutes)
