Movie Review: A Great Movie

What a great movie. One of the best movies I've seen in years. I recommend it to anyone who likes early 80's era of a basic storyline about love & justification.Movie Review: Beautiful

Summary: 3 Stars
Texas is a desolate state where Paris is the town with an active, bustling train full of freight cars. Somewhat like the Norfolk Southern but smaller and not quite so loud. It is like the Mohave desert in places. Houston was a metropolis in comparison, where Rodney Crowell grew up. Maybe I was mistaken, but this is the place where Lettie visited Carl during the war years and she was rewarded with a pair of little grannie glasses.
Travis went there and got lost, ended up buying some land close to the Red River. He was the typical male, taking no blame for anything and ran from responsibility. These were two damaged souls revived by a child. Afraid of what I might find, it was easier when I just imagined him. Mark is real, but not in Texas.
Movie Review: Where's a good editor when you need one?
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a fine 90 minute movie. Unfortunately it clocks in at around two and a half hours. What starts out as a slow moody pace fairly quickly becomes dull and the dialogue, which in this kind of movie is so important, tends to be a little flat. That said, it's certainly worth watching. Visually it's beautiful, the soundtrack has a nice lazy Texas twang to it, the story is interesting and there are some pretty good performances, though I don't think it's Harry Dean Stanton's best work. So if you haven't seen it go ahead and pick up a copy and watch it.
Just make sure you've had a nap first
Movie Review: Shoot me ... shoot me now
Summary: 2 Stars
This was arguably the longest 2 hours I have spent in my entire life ... it felt like much more ... I found myself more than a little angry with the overkill leadup to what could have been a compelling story. The punch line took way too long to get to ... and when it came, it just wasn't enough to convince me it was worth the wait. With each pregnant pause between dialogue (and guitar strings), I was sure I'd be getting up to leave ... I suspect the invested time (hours and hours it seemed) precluded me from doing so. I wanted that punch line ... then, finally, it came ... and it went.
This one had a ton of potential but it just didn't work for me.
