THE ASSASSINATION of JESSE JAMES by THE COWARD ROBERT FORD

I finally had a chance to see one of the Oscar nominated male acting performances.CASEY AFFLECK is nominated for his portrayal of ROBERT FORD the guy who killed JESSE JAMES.I have always enjoyed a good historical action adventure.This one is a bit long coming in at 2 hours and 40 minutes.My favorite line is said by JESSE JAMES played by BRAD PITT to ROBERT FORD and goes something like "You remind of the girl that wants a kiss but is afraid to ask".CASEY AFFLECK does get naked and takes a bath in a metal tub outdoors and splashes water at a cow that may be wanting to drink from the tub.That was rather cute but most of the movie is grim, portraying one of our most famous outlaw gangs as nothing more than a collection of country hicks,petty thieves and psychotic killers.The film has also been nominated for a OSCAR in the Cinematography catagory.It is a good film worth seeing.My only complaint was it was a little long.
