Every possible plot you’d want from a western is weaved in to Tombstone, and a stellar cast makes this film a must-see on any fan of the genre’s “must see” list. Kurt Russel, Val Kilmer (who is great imho), Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton , Powers Boothe, Charlton Heston, Jason Priestley…. Need I g… |

Darker and more realistic than the 1969 original featuring John Wayne, this 21st Century retelling of a classic Wild West retribution story succeeds in almost every respect — often funny, richly evocative, shockingly brutal, cleverly revisionist. That last comes from the clear hero – a 14 year …

Revisionist Westerns pack a punch, especially when shorn of everything non-elemental. Terror on the Prairie packs one hell of a punch, simultaneously elemental (Gina Carano plays a totally traditional wife and mother.) and revisionist (She’s also an ultra badass.). Plus, she’s smarter than the …

Gina Carano cleans up well.

The Spaghetti Western trilogy begins with a ruthless and intricate film in “Dollars”. Clint Eastwood shows even in his first film performance that he was destined to own the Western genre, and Leone’s hallmarks (starkly beautiful vistas, memorable Morricone score) are all present. A fantastic d… |

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. |

Star power in service to a (then) unconventional story makes for a very good movie. A grizzled John Wayne, shiny Glen Campbell and sharp Robert Duvall provide the star power, while a young girl hiring a de facto bounty hunter to track down her father’s killer provides the novel story. Rescree…

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: … |
