The Toughest Gun in Tombstone (1958)
Nothing like a good B/W western from the 50's
Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Montgomery is always smooth, but tough. Good storyline, great cast.
Badland (2019)
Not sure why the bad reviews
I don't do many reviews at all, but this one I felt I had to do. I watch all westerns, from the 50's on. After reading such back and forth reviews, I gave this movie a chance. Glad I did. Not as powerful as Unforgiven, but a solid western it is.
Appaloosa (2008)
Great Movie, could have been a 10
Great set, relatively accurate, Ed and Viggo really fit extremely well together. Jeremy Irons is absolutely outstanding in this film. The casting was great except for Renèe Zellweger. My opinion is that she did not fit the role at all. She did not fit the character profile. I heard that Diane Lane was the 1st choice, but she did not do it. RZ seemed to be distracting to a great story line as well as giving a weak performance. I actually saw the movie before I read the book. RZ's character was much more fitting for the part as portrayed in the book.
I would love to see Ed and Viggo team up again for another movie adaptation of a Robert B. Parker western. Great characters.
Gunfight at La Mesa (2010)
Could not get past the first 10 minutes
If you want to watch 0 star western, this is what you are looking for. Acting is absolutely horrible. I stopped it at 10 minutes. It was that poor. Maybe the only redeeming thing would be some of the scenery and some nice horses. This would be a fun movie to turn down the sound and make up your own lines. This is something a college film student could churn out in a few hours. Clothing was not correct, saddles and equipment was not correct......there was not a lot of thought that went into this movie. Budget was probably very thin. You would be way better off downloading a great old Randolph Scott movie to get you western fix. As other reviewers eluded to, you will never get back these minutes in your life, so stay away and watch something worthwhile.
