2008 Back to School Movie Guide
Photo 8 of 22
Appaloosa
Cast: Viggo Mortensen, Renee Zellweger, Jeremy Irons and Ed Harris
Release date: September 17
Why you should see it: Mortensen and Harris are lawmen and pals who set out to stop a rancher's (Irons) reign of intimidation over a small town. But their mission and their friendship are interrupted by the arrival of a widow (Zellweger) who's on a mission of her own.
Box office bottom line: The limited-release Western isn't likely to break any ticket sales records, but the Mortensen/Harris pairing is a strong one, and the prospect of Zellweger playing a bad girl almost makes us willing to forget how forgettable she's been since the first Bridget Jones movie.
