Tom Selleck made a couple of made-for-cable TV westerns that were very
good, and this is one of them. The always-reliable Selleck is convincig
in the lead role and Suzy Amis is fun to watch to in the corresponding
female lead. It's also kind of neat to see a very young Haley Joel
Osment two years before he became famous in "The Sixth Sense."Once again, as these westerns tend to be,...

New footage combined with colorized segments from the popular TV series.
Interesting enough to hold your attention and revisit days of old, when we
had sanitized violence to watch. Of course, Hugh O'Brian will forever be
our
minds personage of the famed lawman with his trusty "Buntline
Special".Just a few of the memorable faces in the cast include: Paul Brinegar, Bing

As is well known in movie lore, John Clark Gable is the posthumous son
of Clark Gable and his last wife Kay Williams Spreckels. By dint of his
father's estate and the fact his mom had previously been married to the
heir of the Spreckels sugar fortune, young Mr. Gable had a fairly
comfortable childhood. In fact his mom took great care to raise him
with a degree of privacy and aw...

As a loyal fan of the Back to the Future phenomenon, I long awaited a
chance
to publish my take on the series. It may be a bit surprising to some that
I
would choose to write my comments in the section specific to the last
movie
which has been considered to be the worst film of the trilogy.For many years, in consideration of this one trilogy which served to

"Cherry 2000" was a huge commercial failure and it's hardly ever mentioned
today, but I found it surprisingly entertaining. Sure, the script is
unimaginative and the film has no real vision and the action scenes are
strictly routine, but the two leads are enormously, effortlessly likable.
They make a deeply sweet pair. Maybe the film should have concentrated more
on their love ...

This is a really, really good movie and I don't understand why no one ever
mentions it or why it is never on cable.It has everything that I love in a movie: good story, great characters well
acted, fine comedy and powerful touching drama.
Ralph Macchio is a brilliant young guitar student, Eugene Martone, at
Julliard (or some other equally good music school) who does not want to pl...

Gremlins was a fantastic comedy film from 1984-the best year ever in my
opinion for great movies.Basically, a guy called Billy Peltzer picks up a new pet called Gizmo and
after breaking a few rules he shouldn't have, ends up spawning a bunch of
ugly creatures called Gremlins who proceed to terrorize the
town.The film is a success because it succeeds at producing both a comedy and a...

If three guys ever looked like rugged, craggy-faced cowboys, it has to
be the trio that starred in this made-for-TV movie: Sam Elliott, Tom
Selleck and Ben Johnson. With those guys, and a whole lot more, and a
story written by Louis L'Amour, this is about as western a Western as
you'll ever find.....and it should be better than it is.There is just too much "Rambo" mentality...

As Sam Peckinpah's 'The Getaway,' Walter Hill's 'The Long Riders'
almost elevates cinema violence into an art form… Visually, 'The Long Riders' contains much that is stunning, even
mesmerizing: the green Missouri scenic landscapes; the train robbery
sequence; the stagecoach heist; the crossing of a wild river; but there
is no question that it is the scene of the gang's disastr...

One of the last spaghetti westerns (though really, there was a good amount
of American talent in front of and behind the camera), it does definitely
have some novelty value - the cast, some good Canary Island scenery, a quick
pace, and some good action sequences (best being the gunfight in the
canyon). Still, there was clearly a bunch of potential wasted.Brown is good, Williamson d...

Unlike the comment that said "unoriginal", for a western of the early
seventies, when the western was at that time dying out for a period,
this is a gallant effort on the part of all involved in the production.
I must confess, it would be hard for me to say anything bad about a
John Wayne movie, it certainly is not "The Searchers", but no where

There has been no tougher or more formidable Western heavy than Richard
Boone… He has occasionally depicted hard-bitten nobility, as his
portrayal of General Sam Houston in "The Alamo" or the ageing cavalry
officer in "A Thunder of Drums"—but more often his grim, craggy
features have led him to villainy… He was Randolph Scott's intelligent, embittered adversary, ...

It's no classic, but it is quite a good film. Jimmy Stewart plays a gruff,
old, drunken sheriff who can speak Comanche and Richard Widmark plays a
cavalryman assigned to accompany him on a mission to buy white captives
away
from the Comanches. The first half of the film can be called
Searchers-lite.
They buy back two captives, a young white man stolen in his youth and a

The Searchers is perhaps John Ford's greatest film. The character
studies are rich and complex and never too revealing, adding mystery
and depth. The location in Utah's Monument Valley is magnificent. The
Technicolor is simply stunning. And of course, the story set a standard
for all action movies to come. The plot is simple and engaging and the
subplot allows us to t...

In the pantheon of great performances by John Wayne, Red River ranks as
one of the great ones, probably in the top five of his films. It's what
the publicity folks mean when they talk about epic westerns. John Wayne is a driven man, he's got to get that gigantic herd of
cattle to market in Missouri or face ruin. He's not going to be selling
them in Texas at carpetbagger...
