Big Jake - Although Richard Boone is always riveting and convincing as a bad guy, Big Jake suffers many annoying & weak supporting performances (isn't Waynes real-life son in this one?)Open Range - Basically a poor version of a Lonesome Dove & High Noon combo. I have to admit though, I am a bit anti-Costner so maybe that's where our taste differs. Most recently I enjoyed a Costner performance in "Mr Brooks" but prior to that one, I'm amazed he calls what he does, acting. It's something else, and I'm not sure what it is.
Magnificent Seven- Great in some ways, but the older I get, the more I laugh at the dated sentiment of "love among men". The last time I watched "Magnificent..." I wondered why the seven of them didn't move to California and marry each other!
I'll never question Leone - Sir!
