I finally managed to find a rental copy of "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" at my local Blockbuster, and it's been my major christmas movie for this year. I'm not going to try to write a proper review. I'll just say that it's long, slow, intense and quite beautiful. It's got a score by Warren Ellis and Nick Cave, and Also a cameo from Cave. Well worth catching on DVD, especially if you've got a proper widescreen television. As a return to 1970s style movie epics it's comparable to "There Will Be Blood". And it's certainly a better Terrence Mallick-style film than what Mallick himself has been doing lately.
