Rango (2011)

Posted on September 6, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG An adventurous pet chameleon becomes accidentally stranded in the desert where he learns more about himself. This story was amazing told. The way they created the characters in computer generated was genius. Although, I thought the storyline maybe to deep for some … Continue reading →

The Paleface (1948)

Posted on April 14, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR I think this film was a befitting lighthearted story. The chemistry between Jane Russell and Bob Hope was amazing.  Hope was in his element with the script and Russell was perfect for her role as Calamity Jane. The  jokes are classic … Continue reading →

The Man From Laramie (1955)

Posted on April 13, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Great Story. Beautifully filmed. I relished in James Stewart’s performance but I must say that Arthur Kennedy took the show. His performance almost out shines Stewart’s. This film isn’t your average Western. It’s more of a mystery or … Continue reading →

Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

Posted on March 22, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR The Treasure of the Sierra Madre has a slow start to the greed of man. John Huston wrote an incredible screenplay from the novel by B. Traven. It shows the slow down fall of man from greed and begs the question … Continue reading →

Wyatt Earp (1994)

Posted on March 6, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 Why does Kevin Costner’s films always last forever? I think I lost interest in this film between Kevin coming on-screen to the last scene. Now, I know we were going through Wyatt Earp’s life and he did have a … Continue reading →

The Far Country (1955)

Posted on January 27, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR The Far Country is another great western starring James Stewart. The writing was excellent in keeping Stewart as an anti-hero for as long as possible. As much as the film was excellent, I kept wondering who Stewart was going … Continue reading →

Rose Marie (1936)

Posted on January 20, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Sit back and enjoy a taste of mushy, sentimental, sugar-coated 113 minutes of  cinema. I don’t care that it was made during the Depression, it was still sugary sweet even for then. The acting was dreadful; the singing … Continue reading →

Pure Country (1992)

Posted on January 19, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG OK, everyone says that this is a very entertaining film. The music is great, the acting is ok but I didn’t care about the characters. I thought Lesley Ann Warren’s character was annoying. I didn’t feel sorry for … Continue reading →
