THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD (Sept. 21)
Originally set for release last fall, TAOJJBTCRF was hobbled due to artistic differences between director (Andrew Dominik) and studio (Warner Bros.), and finally slated to open this September. But none of that really matters, because my developing taste for westerns (whetted by none other than Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch and, I'm not ashamed to admit, Mel Brooks' brilliant parody Blazing Saddles), and this trailer, give me reason to celebrate the outlaw's larger-than-life legacy. —Adrienne Day
