Shanghai Kiss (2007)
ken leung = billy crystal
Bought and viewed this film. Rate it an 8.
Think Ken so resembles Billy in his speech. Quite the actor and look forward to more of his films.
Was put off to buy with the white girl dominant on the cover. Reviewed more and so happy with the purchase.
Caucasion with a 22.5 difference age Tianjin girl. In Canada more tolerant of others. Quite disturbing to have the white girl dominant on the cover while this is Ken's movie. Hollywood and America have far to go.
Thousand Pieces Of Gold is some other unappreciated gem.
The Last Frontier (1955)
Very Enjoyable 50's Western
Very enjoyable 50's Western. I have it in my collection and recommend it to Western fans.
Mostly Victor Mature's movie and quite well done in my estimation.
He's a trapper who joins a frontier post as a scout. Red Cloud caught three of them on their land and took their possessions. They all joined as scouts after their loss.
Victor has set his eye's on the Colonel's wife and lives life on the post without much regards to regulations.
Action done quite convincingly but no great depth or much feeling to other characters.
50's Westerns are my favorites and this slides easily to a satisfaction. A Western of this kind is in the pages of the past and perhaps never to be made much again. One to enjoy. Gave it a 7 rating. Likely 6.8 worthy but films like these become more precious over time.
For film-noir fans..."The Big Steal" "They Live By Night" "Side Street" are most wonderful movies to be enjoyed. Bought and viewed. Noir seems to resemble Westerns in a way. Some long ago and never forever.
Fort Courageous (1965)
The ending like the acting
The male leads were basically fine but the women and the Indians, such poor acting! I own 250 Westerns and this is likely the worst one. Enjoy Cavalry vs Indians and not filmed this way anymore. A weakness to buy this one. If viewed, make it a midnighter.
The ending comes up sudden and most unsatisfactory and silly.
Anyways, always good to see more Westerns released. Guess never a Western not worthy for a watch, even if need be a midnighter.
Rated it a 4. Struggled to say a 5 but that ending and poor acting! Worse if not a Western.
A recent release "White Feather" was much better and very acceptable.
