I wish our town could hang a guy like Tuco. I would love to see if Blondie was that good of a shot. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is a film that has become part of the western bullet-riddled fabric. It is like a sharp and piercing arrow in the chest area of a blood-stained poncho but, to be perfectly sure, there are no Commancheros murdering Mexicans, Texans and Tex-Mex kin in this flick. It wasn’t even filmed in America for that matter, but it is arguably the best American western ever made. How can that be you ask? It wasn’t even made in America? Is that some kind of blasphemy on the Duke? How old are you? Do you know who the Duke is?

Open Range, starring Kevin Costner as the subdued, melancholic, rather "Eastwood-like" Charlie, is the classic straightforward western hero in every sense of the genre. Don't expect too many surprises in Open Range, which Costner directs as well as stars in, but his play-it-close-to-the-vest approach to the western is refreshing and succeeds beautifully.
Robert Duval's "Boss" is his mentor, a man who for the most part is only an unwavering foundation of the old code of the west. Charlie, who carries with him a dark past and a skill for killing men, looks to Boss as a son would a father.

I’ll be the first to tell you that I don’t know a whole hell of a lot about westerns. I know there have been countless classic western movies that built the reputations of actors like Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and…umm…Emilio Estevez (see: Young Guns). But I can’t claim to have seen all, or even a large portion, of them so when I say that Appaloosa, the 2008 release starring Viggo Mortensen, Jeremy Irons, Renee Zellweger and Ed Harris who also directed and helped write the screenplay, was a pretty good film in my opinion. It’s no classic, I can say that with certainty, but as far as westerns go I can’t say it sucked either.
