Review: 3:10 To Yuma

Yesterday's movie was 3:10 To Yuma.

I usually try to write these reviews without major plot spoilers. In this case, to explain how I feel about the film, I have to talk about the ending. So be warned.

I'm not a fan of "horse opera". They display too much testosterone poisoning for my taste and honestly, I just don't savvy the genre. In fact, I kinda got stuck with this film 'cause I reached the cinema too late to see the movie I was planning to see and I was fully prepared to hate it. Instead I found an unexpected depth and a plot which hung on character instead of action. Not that it's short on action.

( Here be spoilers... )

Ugh...Weekend's almost over

I am officially exhausted.

I barely slept last night. I don't know why. Something woke me around midnight and I just couldn't sleep after that. I caught up on some fic, worked on some art. Nothing special.

Today I did a major spring clean and clear out of my room. And I do mean major. I filled six...no seven sacks with stuff I'm getting rid of. Mostly old video tapes that are just taking up space I need for other things. I chucked almost everything except my Sentinel tapes and a few favourites I don't have on DVD. Some old clothing that's too crappy for the charity shops. And some actual rubbish. Sis is going to take it up to the tip for me later. Plus I filled another sack with stuff that is suitable for the charity shops. The result? Well, my room doesn't look any cleaner but I do have more shelf space available at last.

The really disheartening thing is this isn't even a third of what needs doing. I've been trying to go through my crap a little at a time, each weekend. You wouldn't believe how much crap I have. Had. Have. Er...both.

What with that and a sleepless night, I'm now too knackered to do anything. Except I'm hungry so I've got to go cook. I've earned my meal, that's for sure.

Then I'm gonna put on something relaxing like Harry Potter and just do nothing for the rest of the day.
