A traditional Western presented with richly modern production values, 3:10 to Yuma fails to satisfy due to an ultimately silly story and run-of-the-mill performances. |

The Lone Ranger is Tonto’s movie. Good thing, since Tonto is played by Johnny Depp. Everybody knows this, just as everybody knows Johnny Depp is mighty white. Ironically, only in P.C. Hollywood would it be politically acceptable for a white guy to play an iconic Indian character in a 21st ce…

Good, legendary, and disappointing. Yes Sergio Leone’s classic is a good movie, legendary even. Disappointing too, a bit mannered and dangerously close to self-parody given its protracted length. Whining out of the way, let’s now sing the praises of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

The greatest Western ever? Not in my judgment. Though a darn good movie, The Searchers is too phony to make a claim for all-time honors. While dated, it remains essential viewing for Western fans, full of jaw dropping scenery, intriguing interplay, and classic cowboys and Indians horse chases.

A union officer with incredible determination and 9 lives is pursued by a cruel rebel make a good story for Seraphim – a solid western with a hard edge, a cold stark setting, and a gritty demeanor. You should definitely see this movie if you are a western fan. |

Classic Westerns come no more accomplished than Winchester ’73. It ably weaves a tale around “The Gun that Won the West,” the Winchester 1873. This Precious changes hands almost as often as My Precious in Lord of the Rings, …

A Million Ways to Die in the West is highly recommended for Seth MacFarlane fans, of which I’m sadly one. Those capable of being offended should stay away. The F-bombs rain down thick and hard, as does the scatological humor and sexual bombast. Sound funny? Yes, step right up. Heavens no, …

One of the most unique Westerns I’ve ever seen…. Tough homestead spinster “Plain as an old tin pail and bossy” Hillary Swank volunteers to take 3 insane women from their harsh Nebraska homestead to Iowa to get care. The movie gives a glimpse in to what it was like to live a brutal existence: … |

Samurai cowboys save a poor village in ye old Mexico, riding in to one of the greatest themes of all time. Fifty years on, the all-star cast impresses less than the bravura music — the Marlboro jingle still arouses. The Magnificent Seven famously remakes Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai…
