Remake: 3:10 to Yuma
I’m a sucker for old Westerns, usually of the John Wayne and John Ford variety, but this story proves timeless in both its classic and current incarnations.

Obama can not win an election with joless numbers like this
Jobless rate reaches 9.8 percent in September Unemployment rate rises to 9.8 percent in September, as employers cut 263,000 jobs WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. unemployment rate rose to 9.8 percent in September, the highest since June 1983, as employers cut far more jobs than expected. The report shows that the worst recession since the 1930s is still inflicting widespread pain and underscores one of the biggest threats to the nascent economic recovery: that consumers, worried about job losses and stagnant wages, will restrain spending.Pandorum Trailer Released – Dennis Quaid Looks Beat
Dennis Quaid is apparently continuing down the path of WTF happened to my career with this one. Although the trailer looks kind of cool and Ben Foster is a good way to peak my interest I’m not so sure. But, it’s a sure fire rental.95) Ben Fogle

http://www.truthdig.com/report Posted on Sep 24, 2008 By Ellen Goodman In the gospel according to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, “there are no atheists in foxholes and no ideologues in financial crises.” Suddenly, we are all pragmatists, trying to dig our way out of the Wall Street rubble with whatever tools are at hand. Well, there is some truth in that. But I think we are still capable of emotional multitasking, holding anger in one hand and fear in the other while grasping for a solution.Must-See Acting Performances - take 2
