Movie Reviews of Monte Walsh
Movie Review: If ya liked it...
Summary: 4 Stars
Then you must watch the original 1970 Movie staring Lee Marvin and Jack Palance. I am a big Selleck fan..and love almost all of his Westerns. An old timer told me that the original was his favorite Western of all time....and he was a bit miffed that Selleck had gone and remade it. We agreed to swap versions. And I must say I do like the old version. Sellecks was very true to the first one..and the theme and atmosphere come across in both. I am awaiting the review from the other end..but I am more certain he will find it does justice to a great story.The Lee Marvin Monte is only available in tape...at least I have not seen it released in DVD yet.

Movie Review: Monte Walsh
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoy watching Monte Walsh for the feelings it holds for the last days of the old time cowboy, and what that era might have been like. the movie has it's tender moments too, dealing with the gentle love affair between the main character and a charming but sad 'soiled dove' according to the Old West usage, which is kinder than our term "hooker," played by the daughter of Ingrid Bermann.
The movie is not helped by the gunfight at the end; I felt it was unnecessary when I first watched it, and still do. I do like watching the movie though, which is as much as I need say. Go watch Monte Walsh for yourself and see if I am right.
Movie Review: Pleasant surprise
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll be honest, I'm a big George Eads fan and I ordered the movie because I wanted to see this. I'm happy to say that it was pleasantly surprising. Selleck and Rossellini have nice chemistry on screen and Selleck is at his best as Monte, the cowboy whose life and world are slowly crumbling around him despite his best effort to hold the tide of change at bay. Eads is great as Shorty and I must say he's never looked better on the saddle. Only Selleck, handsome as ever, exceeds him. The scenery was beautiful and the landscape reminded me of Brokeback Mountain. This film is a must own for any Tom Selleck fan!Movie Review: Can't be a cowboy forever
Summary: 4 Stars
In this classic style western, the main character is faced with a changing world that seems to be intruding on the life he has chosen to live. Despite the innevitable - that he will one day succumb to progress - the story follows him on through life but never seems to resolve the assertion by another character that you cannot be a cowboy forever. It seemed to be just a pleasent story of one who fights progress but never resolves an answer for himself. Still, the scenery is beautiful and Mr. Selleck does a fine job as the quintessential cowboy as usual.Movie Review: An Acceptable Re-Make
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a had time forcing myself to like re-makes. There are to many untold stories that need to be told. Why tamper with an original that worked. That said, I did like this movie. The action, the photography, the wonderful western scenes. Tom does another great job, breathing life into his caracters. Keith Caradine, Barry Corbin, George Eads all do great jobs. I especially like Wallace Shawn as Col. Wilson and Robert Caradine as the somewhat simple minded Sunfish Perkins. All in All a likeable, good movie. 4 stars, only for the fact it's a remake
