Movie Haiku:THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD: Superlative cinematography & haunting soundtrack intensify this evocative Western epic, carrying us back to post-Civil War Missouri. Jan was entranced by Pitt’s multifaceted performance as outlaw/hero Jesse James as well as Affleck’s creepy incarnation of acolyte-turned-traitor Robert Ford, but Rich liked the telling more than the tale itself.
