What Was The Last Western You Watched?

[Colorado Bob]

Well, let's see. The last western I watched? Well, it was about a town marshal who was a drunk, and the bad guy had killed someone, and was running loose because the drunk sheriff was too drunk to do anything about it. Then the drunk sheriff's friend came to town and put on a badge to help the drunk sheriff, by arresting the bad guy, but the bad guy's family was trying to get him out of jail and the family was rich. ... Oh, the name? Well, it wasn't El Dorado, and it wasn't Rio Bravo. It was The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. An episode called "Showdown." It was great. The writers were doing an homage to John Wayne and Howard Hawks. I loved it. Especially at the end when Brisco says he has to follow up on a lead to catch his arch enemy John Bly. Brisco says he has to go to El Dorado!

A fun show, and made even better with this episode! If you get a chance to see, I highly recommend it.

Just watched The Far Country with James Stewart, and currently watching an old favorite: Blazing Saddles. Love that campfire scene!

"Gunfight At Comanche Creek"
- Audie Murphy, DeForest Kelley

Plot :IMDB

Comanche Creek, Colorado, 1875: Prisoner Jack Mason is broken out of jail by a gang of strangers. They use him in a robbery, then when the dead-or-alive reward is high enough, they shoot him and collect. The National Detective Agency, now knowing the gang's methods, arranges to have agent Bob Gifford jailed in Comanche Creek for train robbery. The gang takes the bait (not before Gifford catches the eye of lovely saloon-keeper Abbie) and Gifford goes undercover to try and stop the bad guys.

Phantom's Review: Decent "B" western with some good action and an interesting story. Best part of the movie: Deforest Kelley (of "Star Trek" fame) as a ruthless cold hearted S.O.B. Makes you totally forget kind "Dr. McCoy"
Annoying part of the film: A narrator. It's almost like the film was written as a radio show and then switched to the movies. Completely unneeded.

Stranger on Horseback

"Undead Or Alive" (2007)
- Chris Kattan, James Denton, Navi Rawat

Plot:IMDB

Army deserter Elmer Winslow and local cowboy Luke Budd are on the run after robbing the evil Sheriff Claypool, stealing his money and fleeing the town, they find themselves with an angry posse on their trail. Joining Elmer and Luke is an Apache warrior, who's out to wreak vengeance on behalf of her decimated people; her plan is to attack the U.S. Army wherever she can find it, and she takes Elmer up on his offer to go with her to the nearest Army outpost he knows. Their plans become complicated when they discover that, as a result of the great Apache Geronimo's curse on the white man, all the people of the surrounding areas have turned into zombies.


Phantoms Review: If your a fan of Westerns, horror, or comedy then do yourself a big favor and....AVOID THIS MOVIE LIKE THE PLAGUE!! Bad in almost every respect. The western aspect of the film is obviously made by people who should not be making westerns. The attempts at horror fall flat and the comedy is pathetic. The only good thing about this film is a lovely actress named Navi Rawat, but even she can't save this looser of a movie.

Hi

The Charge at Feather River with Guy Madison.

Originally shot in 3-D it shows but stirring theme music and a good cast.

Bill,
Did you by any chance see the telecast when Palance won his Oscar?

He got down on the floor and did several one-handed pushups and when he did this, he was in his 70s. Amazing!

Stumpy, I did see it in the early 1990s and Jack Palance I think was 73 years old, One Tough Old Man !!!

"TRUE GRIT". The talk of the remake put me in the mood for this one again. Still one of my all time favorite movies.

"Where The Hell's That Gold ??!!??"
-Willie Nelson, Jack Elam

Plot: IMDB
On the run after stealing and hiding a large amount of gold, two outlaws find themselves travelling through 1895 Mexico on a train full of dynamite as rebels. Apache Indians, Wells Fargo agents, and Federal troops trail them. When they are captured by the Mexican authorities, they scheme to keep their ill-gotten riches with the help of a sassy madam and her prostitutes...

Phantoms Review: Well acted, but dull. Great chemistry between Nelson and Elam and Delta Burke as the Madame is fine, but the movie just doesn't have what it takes to be a really entertaining film.

Jim Jarmusch' Dead man, very different and yet not so different western, hypnotically beautiful

Rio Grande, with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara

We also enjoyed the special features on the DVD, about the making of the film, and another documentary/mini-featurette with Maureen O'Hara.

Watched "The Outlaw Josie Wales" last evening. I've watched bits and pieces of this movie over the years but never the whole thing. I know many people have commented that this was one of their favorite westerns but I have to say that I wasn't impressed.
