Excerpts:
Best movie that will be even better in the inevitable ''Director's Cut'' DVD version: Ridley Scott's American Gangster, which left you craving more of the climactic conversations between Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe.

Best bit of silent acting: In 3:10 To Yuma, an outlaw (Russell Crowe) realizes he's been tricked by a gimpy rancher (Christian Bale) and gives him a look that conveys surprise, admiration, betrayal -- and the promise of payback.

Jess Cagle's Best And Worst Of 2007
Five Best Movies

Excerpt:
3:10 To Yuma - "A western remake of the 1950's western. Just again, great storytelling, really great performances by Russell Crowe and Christian Bale," Cagle says. "I doubt they'll get nominations, but it's definitely the most underrated of the best movies. The ensemble cast got a SAG nomination, but there's not a whole lot of other buzz. Since it did get some notice from SAG, it could get some more attention. We'll have to wait and see."
