What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below you can view Cate Blanchett's award-nominated performance in Elizabeth: The Golden Age and The Jane Austen Book Club, which I featured as one of my February Must Haves.
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. Though it's not the best Western I've seen all year — that honor goes to 3:10 to Yuma — it is worth watching for the masterful beauty that breaks through the somewhat poorly managed pace.
In case you haven't heard, Jesse James stars Brad Pitt in the title role, and as the West is writing its own mythology, James is nearing the end of his illustrious outlaw career.
Movie Preview: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
I first told you about this movie in my Fall Movie Preview that focused on the Westerns that are coming out this fall, and gave you all a glimpse of the ever-handsome Brad Pitt playing Jesse James. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford has Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck costarring as Jesse James and Robert Ford. From the title, you can kind of tell what happens, so I was intrigued to watch the trailer to find out exactly what else this movie entailed.

Brad Dad Goes West, Wild West
Maddox was back in his signature mohawk hand in hand with his mom and dad leaving his Manhattan school yesterday. Brad and Angelina had been all over the place over the past few weeks, selling magazines and whatnot, but this weekend Brad dad returns to his roots — acting on the big screen in that mouthful of a movie, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. I'm definitely curious to see this one because while I hate long movies, I love long movies starring Brad Pitt — well, hellooooo Legends of the Fall.
Casey Affleck Flaunts It Well
2007 may go down as the year that Casey Affleck became more than primarily Ben's younger brother. Which isn't to say that he hasn't been the highlight of movies or hasn't been some people's favorite Affleck from the start, but with starring roles (and rave reviews) for both The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Gone Baby Gone, Casey is bigger than ever. Oh, um, and hotter, hotter than ever, too.
Brad & Casey's Assassination Hits NYC
The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford (again, mouthful - TAOJJBTCRF? Ha) premiered in the Jolie-Pitt's home-for-now, NYC, last night. Angelina and Brad looked adequately Prom King and Queen-y alongside their friends and costars.
Brad's Quest For A Quiet Place & A Bigger Bed
Brad Pitt is coming to the big screen this weekend in one of this fall's westerns, The Assassination of Jesse James by That Coward Robert Ford (mouthful much?), a role which earned him the Best Actor Award at this year's Venice Film Festival. Naturally with Brad being who he is, when he sat down for interviews to promote the movie, reporters wanted to talk about the frontier he's forging in his personal life instead of the movie. Interestingly, Brad sees parallels between what he goes through every day and his character on screen, who is stalked and killed by a member of his posse.
