Movie description
Based on the 1983 novel by Ron Hansen, THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD captivatingly depicts the final few months of the legendary Jesse James's life. He was 34, and his days of ruthless robbing had dwindled, yet his fearsome reputation continued to swell. With an abundance of nickel-books retelling his brutal gun-slinging adventures, James (portrayed by Brad Pitt, in one his most convincing and moving roles) had become a symbolic hero for many Americans, and a dazzling tabloid icon for the 19th-century media. A particular young man seduced by the wonderment of James, the shifty Robert Ford (a breakthrough performance by Casey Affleck), wormed his way in as a James groupie, in the hopes of snagging a coveted spot alongside his brother Charley (played by the always affable Sam Rockwell) as one of the bandit's cronies. Ford, fiercely insecure and painfully aware that he would never be taken seriously by James (who, ever-plagued by paranoia and skepticism, found Ford's earnest obsession a bit unsettling), grew increasingly angry with his idol, leading to a destructive path that ultimately ended in the anticlimactic death of Jesse James--and brought the treacherous Robert Ford the notoriety he had always wanted. Although this film takes place in the late 1800's, its eerie relevance to modern-day celebrity-obsession scandals is astounding, and adds a fresh scope to what could be viewed as just another cinematic western. Director Andrew Dominick (CHOPPER) furthers the film from its genre by banishing clichéd bullet-infested showdown scenes, instead embracing the relationships and interactions of the outlaws, and creates a mood of brooding and contemplation with exceptional camera angles and lighting. His intensely sophisticated approach to filmmaking illustrates the darkest corners of the characters, and insightfully provides a deeper, heartfelt portrayal revealing what the men might have been like behind their masks.

Editorial reviews
4 stars out of 4 -- "[T]his is a wondrously contemplative and poetic saga that offers a fresh and bewitching take on a timeworn genre."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (09/21/2007)

"[A] haunting retelling of one of the enduring outlaw sagas in American culture...shot by the brilliant cinematographer Richard Deakins in a wide-open geography of moody skies and fields plaintive with bent light and shadow." -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (09/28/2007)

3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[T]his quiet wow of a Western sneaks up as one hell of a satisfying surprise. Artfully exciting and compulsively watchable..."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (10/04/2007)

5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's awash with melancholy and ennui, love and betrayal, obsession and paranoia and arrives like manna from movie heaven....An instant classic, with poetic visuals..."
Total Film - Mark Salisbury (11/01/2007)

5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] slow, meditative poem that harkens to the verdant sprawl of Terrence Malick's DAYS OF HEAVEN."
Empire - Ian Nathan (10/19/2007)

4 stars out of 5 -- "Malick, Kubrick and Cimino would surely recognise a kindred spirit in Dominik....[A] weighty monument to the death of the West..."
Uncut - Tom Charity (12/01/2007)

"The film has a good feel for the Victorian milieu in which it is set....Roger Deakins' photography makes the most of the bleak winter landscapes of the Midwest, evocative of the coldness and emptiness that lie in the heart of Jesse James."
Sight and Sound - Edward Buscombe (12/01/2007)

"What transfers best is Pitt's intriguing performance as the outlaw king....The casually charismatic aspect of Jesse James is second nature to Pitt..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (09/21/2007)

5 stars out of 5 -- "With breathtaking cinematography and a masterful score that manages to be both plaintive and foreboding, Dominik's film slowly works its way under the skin, steadily building to a heart-wrenching climax..."
Ultimate DVD - Chris Prince (05/01/2008)

ALL MOVIES ARE IN GOOD PLAYING CONDITION AND COME IN ORIGINAL CASE!!!
(SINGLE DISC COPY)

PRODUCT

All of my items  are used unless otherwise stated, the quality of the item is almost always listed in info above.  All items come with original cover artwork and in original case, unless otherwise stated.  My games and movies  are not copies, bootlegs, asian imports etc.  They are all US region 1, just as if you purchased them at any major retail place in the US.  Some of the items were formal rentals,  but I try to make sure they stickers are off of the outside of the item and the discs or games are in good condition and play fine.  I ship games and dvds in bubble envelopes, I do not send broken cases, but once in a while I have found out that cases do get busted in transit, I can NOT help if it gets busted in transit.

PAYMENT & DELIVERY INFORMATION

Please send payment promptly !  I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL!!!  I make it a point to ship the movie within 48  hours after I receive your payment, except of course Sundays and holidays.  Payments must be received within 7 days after winning the auction.  If payment not received within 7 days after auction I will open unpaid item dispute (I do this regardless if you contact me before or not, it just helps me keep track of unpaid items) and if payment not recieved within 14 days (7 days before dispute and 7 days after dispute opens) I will  give you a unpaid item strike and then relist the item.

RETURN POLICY

I am committed to the satisfaction of my customers and try to provide the highest level of service and excellence.  My items are both cleaned and tested for functionality prior to shipment.  If upon receipt, you find that the item does not play properly, it is your responsibility to contact me within 48 hours of receiving the product according to delivery/tracking confirmation.  Otherwise, my return policy expires and I cannot accept the movie back.  It is your responsibility to ship back the movie within 3 days after receipt, providing me with the tracking number at time of mailing.  Return shipping costs are not covered.  Once I receive the movie, I will attempt to replace it.  Otherwise a refund will be issued immediately via PayPal minus the handling charge referred to below.  Refunds are only considered if the movie does not play properly.  The case and cover art are sold as-is but please note that I do not send broken cases.

SHIPPING CHARGES

I realize that the items are being  sold with "free shipping".  Obviously, I am paying for shipping and handling.  Shipping and handling includes more than just the postage.  It includes my supplies (printer paper, printer ink, labels, envelopes, boxes, etc.).  It also includes  trips to the post office, gas etc.  If your item  malfunctions and a refund is to be issued, the amount of $3.00 will be deducted from the refund per item to cover the handling charges.  If you have any issues with my refund policy, please do NOT bid on this or any other items I have listed.

TRACKING & DELIVERY CONFIRMATION

I will provide you with the tracking number when I create the shipping label.  All items are shipped with delivery confirmation.

~~~CANADA BUYERS PLEASE ALLOW 10-15 BUSINESS DAYS TO GET ITEM, SINCE ITEMS TEND TO GET STUCK IN CUSTOMS QUITE A BIT~~~

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

It is sad to note that some new ebayers just leave negative feedback or do not give five stars because they did not agree with my policies but yet bought the item regardless.  This is done without even contacting me.  This is a form of unprofessionalism in the highest degree.  In this respect, I urge all concerned, that if you ever encounter any problem with your item, to please notify me within 48 hours of receiving your item and I will find the best solution to immediately fix the problem to your fullest satisfaction.  I thank you in advance for your kind cooperation to communicate.  As you can see by my feedback, I have a very high degree of customer satisfaction.

I LEAVE FEEDBACK LEFT WHEN FEEDBACK RECEIVED!!!
