Hickok (2017)
Surprising 👍🤙😍
Based on some other reviews, I wasn't sure. I read the Hollywood Reporter review and decided to give it a chance. Entertaining and well acted. It was worth my time.
Desolation Canyon (2006)
Steady Western
I thought it was pretty darn decent western. I've seen a lot worse. I thought there were some great comedic moments. Edwin being a "rooster" was funny. I love Duffy and Steach. The woman who played the mom couldn't act her way out of a paper bag but otherwise, good entertainment.
Mercy (2014)
I didn't get it
The film was way under lit, I presume so they could cover for lack of good screenplay. Not good.
Hell Bent for Leather (1960)
Audie is always good
Pretty decent western for early 60s. Audie is good on this as well as good supporting cast in Felicia Farr and Steve McNally. Good picture directed by veteran director Harry Sherman.
Gun the Man Down (1956)
I liked it.
No one else seems to like this film, but I sure do. Typical Burt Kennedy, good acting.
Diablo (2015)
Hmmm, I'm not sure what to think.
Okay, I've seen every movie the elder Eastwood has been in and I think what makes him so great is he picked his material well. Scott should have known better than take this role. He's never going to be the cowboy Clint was, period. He shouldn't even try. The only saving grace in this movie is the cinematography, it was beautifully photographed. The problem was the story, it just wasn't well written. If you don't have a good story, without holes, you're screwed. For example, after he leaves the Indians who save him, Eastwood's character goes to reach into his saddlebag and there appears to be hair with blood in the bag. Is it a scalp? There's never any explanation given. Did Eastwood scalp the Indians? Big holes like that ruin this movie. Also the dialog was terrible. I stuck with it hoping I'd get an explanation and never did. At the end I just said, WTF???
