“Good Luck Chuck” looked like such a funny movie with alot of potential when you watch the trailer. But than trailers are deceiving.

Get ready ladies! One of your favorite steamy late night shows is coming to the big screen. No it’s not ‘Desperate Housewives’(not yet). It has been given its dues and earned its spot. ‘Sex and the City’ has worked its way onto TV and not is ready to take on the big guys.
James Mangold’s “3:10 to Yuma” is an amazing western movie that we haven’t seen for some years now. The Western in its glory days was often a morality play, a story about humanist values penetrating the lawless anarchy of the frontier.
It still follows that tradition in films like Eastwood’s “The Unforgiven,” but the audience’s appetite for morality plays and Westerns seems to be fading.
