“Josey Wales is my favorie Western of all time.”
Would normally agree with you, but have you forgotten “The Unforgiven”? That was one gritty western. Just like the novels. I always hated how a John Wayne movie always had to have some teenie bopper in it. It always ruined a great story.
Interesting. You are the first person I know of that didn’t love Inception. I’m interested to know what it was you didn’t like.
For me it was the best movie of the year.
I loved that move also! I also went to see "Ramona and Beezes" with my niece...it was sweet and made me tear up!
And AMC now has "John Wayne Saturday" - they run only John Wayne movies all day and night on Saturday. That's pretty good. I've got to admit, I haven't seen a "good" movie out of Hollywood since "The Dark Knight". A few watchable ones (ie. I sat through the whole thing") but mostly absolute garbage.
“The Losers” is one of the best action flicks in a long time. Must see for all.
Me neither, and have no plans to see them. Have not been to a movie in over 5 years.
Gasp! Are you trying to say Ricky Nelson didn't add anything to Rio Bravo? ;-)
Unforgiven was excellent, but a bit too depressing for me.
Great performances by everyone, though. Eastwood, Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Richard Harris.
Still sticking with Josey.
Clash of the Titans was the only one on the list that I’ve seen, and I was disappointed. I got the impression that Liam Neeson only took the part because he must’ve had some bills to pay. It was an uncharacteristically uninspired performance on his part.
“And AMC now has “John Wayne Saturday” - they run only John Wayne movies all day and night on Saturday.”
Would love to see “The Searchers” again. Great book and good movie. Because of PC it might just disappear like “Song of the South”.
I always have AMC or TCM on during the weekends.
Too many plot holes. I can suspend disbelief as well as anyone, but the plot points were so far from the bounds of credulity that I just couldn't manage it.
It certainly wasn’t very good but by no means were there not 10 movies worse than CotT... far worse.
Add “Date Night” to this list. Gruesome. And Steve Carrell thinks he’s going to have a career after “The Office?”
>I always hated how a John Wayne movie always had to have some teenie bopper in it. It always ruined a great story.
Try The Searchers. I don’t recall a teeny bopper messing up that one at all. A properly grim story and Wayne as his grimmest.
I’ve not been to the cinema once this year, and the last movie I saw I think was Clint Eastwood’s.
I’d put The Expendables on the list. Simplistic script, overall lack of artistry, absurdly brutal, and camera work in the fight/battle scenes that were so tight that the action came off as merely chaotic and difficult to follow.
Apart from that, it’s the best Stallone-Statham-Li-Schwarzeneggar-Willis-Lundgren-Rourke team-up of the year.
“Unforgiven was excellent, but a bit too depressing for me.”
It was Clint’s most political movie ever made (pro individual rights - pro self defense). It universally annoyed the leftist and still it won an Oscar. Come on, that is the ultimate in your face statement to Hollywood and its party.
That they not only didn't respect the source material, but actively disrespected it bothered me.
I just saw “Vampires Suck”, a parody explicitly targeting “Twilight”. I got the jokes, but still think it was a pretty horrible movie, certainly one of the worst I’ve seen this year.
Unfortunately, I have found all of the twilight movies passable.
