Cowboys and Indians Abbott & Costello style

Advantages: Good routines, some good songs and fun story
Disadvantages: A bit of an oddity by todays standards

...than 25 films. Ride ?Em Cowboy sees Abbott and Costello playing two hotdog and peanut sellers at a rodeo show in New York. Duke (Bud) and Willoughby (Lou) are their normal incompetent selves and soon find themselves trying to get away from their boss. In doing so they soon find themselves on a dude ranch employed as cowboys, something they are really not good at. Mixed into the plot is the famous singer ?Bronco? Bill (Dick Foran) and the girl he falls for, who is also the daughter of the owner of the ranch. She thinks he is a fraud because he has built himself a reputation as a rooting tooting cowboy, when it is all made up so he has a great stage persona. Bill?s only chance to win her over is to help the ranch out. Throw in a bunch of crooks and some Indians after Willoughby because he inadvertently proposed to a squaw and you have all...

Review of Ride 'Em Cowboy (DVD)

Midnight Cowboy

Advantages: For lovers of the film, the period or the music of John Barry.
Disadvantages: A bit too easy listening for some

...Midnight Cowboy was director John Schlesinger's 1969 classic Oscar winning masterpiece portraying the shattered optimism of the American dream starring Jon Vought (father of Angelina Jolie) as male-prostitute Joe Buck and Dustin Hoffman as his sleazy scheming friend Enrico 'Ratso' Rizzo. The film follows Texan Joe as he naively sets off for New York to earn his fortune as a hustler. Upon arrival he finds little success and things only get worse when he befriends greasy con-merchant Rizzo. This album is a true soundtrack of the film in that, unlike many modern soundtracks, it truly follows the sequence of events in the film rather than just being a collection of hit songs banged together and added to the movie after it's finished. The original version of Harry Nilsson's "Everybody's Talking" appears just as it was in the film as...

Review of Midnight Cowboy - Original Soundtrack

A modern cowboy and Indians movie

Advantages: All the magic of a decent western movie
Disadvantages: sadly overlooked for some unknown reason

...When I was a kid I used to love sitting watching the cowboy & indian movies, and everything that made them magical to watch is right here in this movie. I am not sure why, but many people overlook this movie and they are missing out. This film stars Tom Berenger {Platoon, Sniper, Gettysburg} and Barbara Hershey. Tom Berenger as starred in an impressive list of movies and his acting in this film is a great performance. The film is set in modern day, with Tom berenger is on the trail of some escaped convicts out in the wilderness of the Montana Oxbow. When he finds the convicts all dead, Berenger finds there deaths unusual in the ways that they were slain. For example one of the weapons used was a bow and arrow, the arrow being very natice American in style. He takes an arrow to be analysed by a Native American expert, to be told that...

Review of Last Of The Dogmen (DVD)

Midnight Cowboy : A piece of cinematic genius from all involved

Advantages: Superb acting & directing, highly atmospheric, something for everyone
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...MAIN CAST: Joe Buck (John Voight) Rico ?Ratso? Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) Cass (Sylvia Miles) Shirley (Brenda Vaccaro) Mr O?Daniel (John McGiver) Sally Buck (Ruth White) RELEASED: June 1969 RUNNING TIME: 1hr, 56mins DIRECTOR: John Schlesinger PRODUCER: Jerome Hellman SCREENPLAY: Waldo Salt Midnight Cowboy is a 1969 movie adaptation of James Leo Herlihy?s novel of the same name, and I believe this novel was first published at some point in the early 1960s. My first viewing of the film Midnight Cowboy was in about 1973-ish when it was doing its second cinema run in the UK. I?d recently read the novel, and hadn?t been too impressed with it. I was thus a little dubious as to whether I?d like the movie or not, but was persuaded by my ex-husband (who?d seen it before I met him) to trot along to the cinema with him, he...

The Second of Five Books in THE INDIAN IN THE CUPBOARD Trilogy

Advantages: A really inventive tale; teaches history (of sorts) in a fun non-judgemental way.
Disadvantages: You want to know what will happen next to the people.

...the toy Indian in his pocket, he puts it in the cupboard and locks it in, thus bringing it to life, a miniature live member of the Onondaga Nation of the Iroquois Confederacy from the 1750s. But real people need real food and shelter! Little Bull makes demands on Omri and teaches him about life. At first, Omri thinks of this as a game, but when Little Bull is injured, it becomes more serious. A British "Tommy Atkins" (generic WW I soldier) is brought to life to treat Little Bull, and then sent back to his own time, fighting in the trenches. . Omri cannot keep this a secret from his friend, and tells Patrick. Patrick brings a plastic cowboy to life, thinking he can play Cowboys and Indians, and thus Boone, a cowboy from the 1800s arrives in the present. However, it becomes obvious that these people really don't belong in the "present...

Review of Return of the Indian - Lynne Reid Banks

An INDIAN in my kitchen!

Advantages: Easy to prepare at home; good value on Special Offer.
Disadvantages: Not quite like the real thing, dry aftertaste.

...I love Indian food! It is so very colourful and uses lots of different ingredients; I have possibly tried, or heard of over 200 different dishes; even for the vegetarian there are a lot of dishes from which to choose. Sometimes the dish I have chosen is too spicy for me, so learn this from my experience: stay clear from balti, which is the hottest food, especially, if you suffer from heart burn or stomach ulcer as they may make your symptoms worse. If, like me, you fancy an Indian, it might be best to try a medium heat or mild first and you can taste the Indian food with less heat. I prefer these to the extra hot flavours as the spices enclosed in the extra hot dominate the whole dish (so you spend the whole night afterwards drinking water). Most Indian food is a very important part of Indian tradition and culture; to welcome...

Review of Sharwoods Indian Cooking Sauce

Howdy cowboy!

Advantages: a great little toy for 18 months plus
Disadvantages: none

...The clip clop cowboy is a really fun little toy from Tomy and both my two little girls really love it. It is made from sturdy plastic and comprises of a bright yellow horse ridden by a cowboy. The colours are really bright and it is a really attractive toy. The best thing about this toy though is not what it looks like but what it does. If your child presses down on the cowboy's hat you hear a loud neigh from the horse who then proceeds to take his cowboy for a ride. The horse and cowboy travel for about a distance of one metre before stopping with another neigh! As it moves, all the horse legs are moving up and down and so is its head while all the time you cah hear it clip clop! It is great fun to watch (if you're two!) and great fun to chase after as well! Both sounds and movement are fairly realistic. Tomy say that it is...

Review of Clip Clop Cowboy

Indian Head Massage

Advantages: Very relaxing, beneficial to health
Disadvantages: Hair may look greasy afterwards

...~ What is Indian Head Massage? ~ Indian Head Massage originated, as it's name suggests, in India over a thousand years ago. The origin of shampoo comes from a Hindi word 'champi'. Being 'champi-ed' meant having your head massaged. It began as the way to keep your long hair in beautiful condition and has become a part of daily life. IHM can ease headaches and stress as well as helping to deal with scalp and hair problems. It aids localised blood and lymphatic circulation, relieves eyestrain, boosts the immune system, relieves muscle tension, and helps restore joint movement. They can also relieve tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, migraine and sinusitis. ~ Why do I have regular Indian Head Massages? ~ In the months leading up to my driving test and my January A-Level exams I started having frequent migraines. I used to get...

Cowboy Bebopping the movie

Advantages: Memorable characters, excellent animation
Disadvantages: Music is all Jazz. Bounty hunters again? Man...

...significant role than Jet, but the script could of easily have been adjusted to be watched without them at all (they arethe ones who lead Faye into finding Vincent). You can tell a massive amount of time and effort was put into animating and bringing this movie to life. The illusion of movement is extremely realistic (especially during the intro, that was amazing how they animated that). True that as a Japanese animation some things were exaggerated, but overall they made the illusion of gravity, applied the laws of physics extremely well. The fluid motion also requires it to all be clear and sharp. This is important since it is going to be on DVD (I got the video tape but its a very high quality video tape) so if there are any discrepencies then you'll see it. Now I've always wondered why they call it Cowboy Bebop. Well apparently the Cowboy...
