Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

cseon I selected this film on TV completely blind. I had never heard of it, and was aware of none of the actors. Once the movie started, I was instantly aware that we weren't in the USA any more. The mountains didn't look right, and neither did the train. My first guess was Spain, except that the train wasn't right for that either. I finally gave in and looked up the film and learned that it was made in New Zealand. I realized then that it was made as homage to real Westerns, and the writers didn't have a clue. The film is a Slice Of Life story that attempts to follow the Hitchcock dictum of having the pictures tell the story, but leaves the audience without a clue as to where the storyline is taking them. What is worse is the fact that the writer tried to portray the culture of the 19th Century west as one stereotype after another, the action is never explained at all, and the audience must infer what the writer had in mind when he put pen to paper. If you like treating Slice Of Life movies as Jigsaw Puzzles, this film is for you. If Slice Of Life isn't your bag, don't waste your time.

daleg-251-42916 What a great little movie, though I say "little" only because it's obviously an independent that seems to have missed much attention. I highly recommend it. The story is handled very, very well and the two lead actors bowled me over, especially since one appears to spend more time behind the camera than in front of it. That should really change!Others have described the plot and the nice use of humor, although it never becomes camp. By the end, I was surprised to be reminded of The Earthling. Earthling has a very different style and topic, but they share the same kind of depth and impact by the end.Of more recent films, I was also reminded of Meeker's Cutoff. Both were set, more or less, in the old west and provided an authentic feel that just felt right.

Helmholtz To be a great "bad" film, a movie must somehow keep your eyes glued to the screen will suppressing that nauseous feeling in the pit of your stomach urging you to press the stop button on the remote. In this regard, Good For Nothing is an overwhelming success. With a story line vaguely reminiscent of Two Mules for Sister Sarah, our protagonist (aka The Man) is an enigmatic drifter who blasts his way through the New Zealand landscape, all the whilst coping with ED, in search of love. The guns did look vintage, in a cool way, and the gun fights, while surreal by Hollywood standards, flirted with a dark comedic edge that may well have surrounded actual gun fights of the "real" west.Cinematography had its moments, but the soundtrack was rather disjointed often not coinciding with the action on the screen. A great movie to give as a gag gift for a special relative for the holidays. Whatever this movie has, it has in spades. As I must reluctantly admit, I watched it to the end and will be looking for the sequel. I'll add it to my personal list of favorite "bad" movies, along with Tommy Wiseau's The Room.

Tony Heck "This is not the place you read about in books, this is no place for a lady." Isabella Montgomery (Rademeyer) is new to town. Against everyone's wishes she moved and wishes to start her life in the wild western town. While out on her own a cowboy (Holloway) sees her and attempts to have his way with her. Frustrated when he isn't able to, he decides to kidnap her and keep her until he is able to function again. This is another in the long list of unimpressive and drawn out westerns. I'm not sure what happened to this genre but why is it so hard to make a good one anymore? Unlike most of the recent entries this one isn't really cheesy, just seems to have no point. The closest I can come to thinking what the plot is is a cowboy tries to rape a strange woman...then they start to fall in love. Not really sure what else was going on but I was really bored with this one. I am still waiting for a good western to come out. To me "Open Range" was the last good one. Overall, drawn out and boring, much like the last 10 or so westerns that have come out. I give it a C-.
