Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

BTW, I bought the classic western DVD "Red River" to show the wife.

12.238.114.147

I thought she would like it because she enjoyed "The Magnificent Seven" and "Siverado," and Red River's rousing score by Dmitri Tiomkin is second to none, but after we watched it together, to my surprise, this was her critique of the movie (i.e., which, BTW, had me doubled-up with laughter for quite some time):

Me: "Well, honey what did you think?"

Wife: "That has to be the most boring western of all time!"

Me: "Wha-? But "Red River" is one of Howard Hawk's greatest! What didn't you like about it?"

Wife: "This was the movie we just watched -- Openning credits, men talking, wagons, woman, more talking, river, indians, more talking, cows cows, cows, lots of men talking, more cows, men riding horses, even more cows, steely jawed men saying manly things, cows, cows cows, men riding horses, more cows, woman stops fight between manly men, The End."

This is paraphrased just a bit, but it's pretty close to her verbatim review; in retrospect, I guess I can't really argue with her synopsis too much even though I still like the movie! :o)
