Taken from the classic western, Lonesome Dove, the scene shows the way in which Woodrow F. Call deals with a thug who attacks his son, Newt. It’s a great little snippet from a great movie (and book). Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall were at their very best in this film. https://youtu.be/FmENUHILJpM – If you […]
This clip is from the Clint Eastwood western, For A Few Dollars More. It has an eerie melody that runs throughout culminating in this gunfight. This movie was one of a trilogy featuring the Man With No Name, sometimes known as Blondie. The soundtrack was composed by the Italian genius Ennio Morricone, born 10th November, […]

It also has the greatest soundtrack of any movie, ever. OK, ladies, maybe it’s a guy thing but still, try to understand our weaknesses. If you […]

Larry McMurtry’s novel won him a Pulitzer, and I can understand why. Lonesome Dove is a classic in the […]
This might be the only movie in which Clint Eastwood sings, as does that likeable rogue, Lee Marvin. There aren’t many who can get the their voice down as low as ole Lee. Paint your Wagon is not heard of much, but was a good laugh if nothing else.
All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy This is a beautifully written story of broken homes, broken hearts and broken bones. It is a coming-of-age tale that vividly depicts the good, the bad and the ugly of rural life in both Texas and Mexico in the 1940’s. John Grady Cole is a sombre sixteen […]
