Movie Reviews of Clint Eastwood Western Icon Collection (High Plains Drifter / Joe Kidd / Two Mules For Sister Sara)
Movie Review: Excellent Set of Eastwood Western Movies.
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I like to watch movies late at night before we go to bed. Lately, we've been watching a lot of Clint Eastwood movies, including the Western Icon Collection. This set includes three real fine Eastwood movies: "High Plains Drifter," Joe Kidd" and "Two Mules for Sister Sara." I'm a geologist and I got a kick out of viewing "High Plains Drifter" in that it wasn't filmed in the High Plains at all but rather at Mono Lake in California. Joe Kidd was filmed in the foothills of the eastern Sierra Nevada near Lone Pine in California. Both settings appealed to me and I have visited them many times prior to even being aware of these movies.
A word of warning is due. All Clint Eastwood movies tend to be violent in one way or another. So many people are killed in this set it's hard to keep up with a body count. Add fist fights, beatings and miscellaneous mayhem. If this bothers you in any way, don't order this set and then complain. Personally, I have no objection as it's just action-packed fiction and makes for excitement and good story telling. Plus, the people biting the dust are generally really despicable characters. In a way, all the violence and the despicable heavies actually present somewhat humorous watching.
"Two Mules for Sister Sara" is a rather unusual Eastwood movie. Here, Eastwood rescues a nun from three creeps who are about to do her no good. The nun was played by Shirley MacLaine. Well, after Eastwood and MacLaine reluctantly team up we gradually find out that she's a hard drinking, cigar smoking and foul mouthed Sister who's totally comfortable with blowing up a trainload of soldiers. The train destruction is spectacular, by the way. In any case, the tale ends up as something of a romance and makes for a rather delightful story.
This is an excellent set of DVDs, I'd rate each movie as five stars, and the whole packet is not only good but it's inexpensive.
