I'm so endlessly pleased that this is as good as I'd hoped it would be. I love Westerns, and even if they don't come back into vogue I can still be very happy with a new one here and there.

Why must good movies be rated R?  Oh, well, I guess if I'm going to watch a western I'll just have to stick with Silverado.
If I had any clue, would I be here?

Watch "The Searchers." One of my top 5 movies of all time, and not rated R.

I love Quigley Down Under. An Australian Western, to which I am partial. (I've loved The Man from Snowy River since I saw it in the theater when I was 8 years old. Campy as it is in places, I still love it.)
