'3:10 to Yuma' Successfully Remakes an Adult Westernnew
In overhauling an antique genre piece no one particularly remembers, Mangold kept the original theme -- poor-but-honest homesteader vs. high-living crook -- while simultaneously amping up the many grotesqueries available in the Old West.

Cash on Delivery
Yes, kids, we have another Ray. Nearly to the letter, actually. But Joaquin Phoenix does Jaime Foxx one better by singing Johnny Cash's songs himself, a ridiculously risky move in portraying an icon whose voice was the thing. But damn if the boy doesn't pull it off.

Fine Linenew
The tortured and demonic part of Johnny Cash that stoked his genius often gets lost in the platitudes, the rough edges airbrushed by sentimentality. But not in James Mangold’s movie bio of the Man in Black.
