Westerns > 1992 Westerns

Best western ever

Advantages: The best western ever
Disadvantages: Alittle slow in places

Without doubt I can say this is the best western I have ever seen, Not only does it paint what I would think is a accurate portrail of life in the west but it is also done in beautiful and sometimes thought provoking way. Clint eastwood not only stars but directs and what a job he does in both roles. He paints a picture of a aging gunslinger who needs money to bring up his two kids. Wondering if he has what it takes at his age and without the help ...

Review of Unforgiven (Special Edition) (DVD)

The great Western revival

Advantages: Fantastic acting and atmosphere
Disadvantages: Nothing really

1992 saw a sort of revival attempt at the modern Western, with Clint Eastwood taking up the reins in control of this epic and excellent piece of Western cinema. It is one of those films which sees a main plot line that is not the primary focus of the film, and as such it is entirely engrossing.

...heads of the two men responsible. Former gun for hire Will Munny (Eastwood) finds himself persuaded to put on his guns one last time to seek the perps and claim the reward, and he enlists his old buddy Ned (Morgan Freeman) to help him. Sheriff Little Bill Doggett (Gene Hackman) is keen to keep peace in his town, but it seems that is unlikely to happen, especially with the arrival of English Bob (Richard Harris), known to Daggett already. As events ...

Review of Jeremiah Johnson (DVD)

Dunbar, not Dumb Bear!

Advantages: Fantastic visuals, Costner
Disadvantages: Can draw it out too long in places

...most powerful films to date, Dances With Wolves is a thoughtful and emotional tale that requires a bit of concentration. Set in the aftermath of the Civil War, it features KC as a war hero who is relocated to a post near a tribe of Sioux Indians. The initial grasp of the film makes you think it's going to be one with emphasis on the conflict involving the Sioux, and for the first part of the film, this is indeed how it is shown, particularly as ...
...Mary McDonnell as a love interest for Dunbar. Dances With Wolves is available from amazon.co.uk for £6.98. It's a film I recommend watching, but you need to focus and concentrate. It's not the sort of film you can have on in the background and completely understand. Recommended. ...
