What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford: Almost Too Artsy
As a movie, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is not unlike its title: unusual and poetic but also way too long and somewhat contrived.

Movie Preview: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
