Logan

With Jean gone, Wolverine goes grey, and like the bad sonofabitch he is, he refuses to heal. Incredible depth of this superhero movie that’s not about powers makes X1-9 feel like fast food. Consequently this feels long. Stewart’s performance is forgetfully unforgettable and Jackman could be canonized as Santa Claws.

3:10 to Yuma (2007)

Decimus vs. Bateman in a western battle of the badass. Faithfully recreates classic western feel with enough jokes and explosions to keep today’s crowd happy. Fonda, Foster, and Tudyk add to the mix, but more amazing than their performances, is their survival of a set with both Bale and Crowe.
