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

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...

Review of Midnight Cowboy (DVD)

I ain't a real cowboy but I am one helluva stud!

Advantages: touching, funny and memorable
Disadvantages: depictions of violence and prostitution may be shocking

...The first ever X-rated movie to win an Academy Award, Midnight Cowboy is the story of Joe Buck (Jon Voight), a Texan who arrives in New York to make his fortune as a male prostitute. Finding himself a less successful 'stud' than he'd envisaged and unable to afford anywhere to live, Joe hooks up with small-time con artist, Enrico 'Ratso' Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman). After a prickly start, the two forge an unlikely kinship, with Rizzo offering Buck his 'management' skills while providing them both with stolen food and a place to sleep. While Rizzo nurses his dreams of someday moving to Florida, Joe hopes to establish himself as a male escort and shake off his disturbing past. However, his attempts fall flat and, despite his insistence that the women in New York are 'begging for it - paying for it too' he is unable to make any money from...

Review of Midnight Cowboy (DVD)

''everybody's talkin' at'' him

Advantages: A classic, cult film with incredible acting
Disadvantages: Very graphic sexually and language wise

... MIDNIGHT COWBOY (1969) DVD (2000) Having recently written reviews on 'The Graduate' and 'Bonnie and Clyde', I was reminded of another classic film from that era - 'Midnight Cowboy'. I had to find a DVD for this film (thanks to Amazon I managed to get one for just £2!!) and watch it again - forty years from when I first went to the cinema to watch it. John Schlesinger's 'Midnight Cowboy' is widely recognized as being one of the most influential and poignant films of the 1960s. It was also the first X rated film to win an Oscar; in fact it won THREE Academy Awards (Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay) Both Actors in this film were also nominated for Best Actor and in another rare twist, Sylvia Miles was nominated for Best Supporting Actress with a nearly invisible three minutes of screen time...

Review of Midnight Cowboy (DVD)

* A Midnight Fantasy *

Advantages: Long Lasting , Smell
Disadvantages: None!

...I have never written a fragrance review before so I thought I would give it a go. A lot of my reviews are usually on DVDs or Books , but this time I fancied a challange! Please bear with me , as I have not yet got to grips with writing reviews on such a product. I have a lot of fragrances ; I prefer to buy them at Christmas time when you can get sets of mini bottles for a reasonable price rather than pay £20+ for a large bottle. I am a big fan of the celebrity ones ; I have Britney's , Christina Aguilera's , Coleen Rooney's and Katie Price's fragrances. Today , I am going to review the Midnight Fantasy fragrance from Britney Spears. I received a bottle of this perfume for Christmas last year and so I am not sure how much my friend paid for it at the time , however you can buy it from Boots for a price of £13.00 As many of you will...

The Midnight Warning

Advantages: It had good bits
Disadvantages: It had bad bits

...The Midnight Warning is a 1932 film directed by Spencer Gordon Bennett A famous nerve doctor is reading the paper in his hotel room when he is visited by his private detective friend, Cornish, who has lately solved a case that has made him famous. Mr. Doctor (We'll call the doctor Mr. Doctor for I can't remember his name) has found a human ear bone in the fire place and shows it to Cornish, at first of course they find it rather strange but don't look too much into it. The two men talk and joke when suddenly Mr. Doctor falls to the ground. Cornish calls the hotel staff and they bring the house medical staff. They put Mr. Doctor's collapse down to nothing more than a rush of blood to the head and his cut was probably the result of him hitting his head off something but Cornish notices something strange about the way they're acting...

Review of The Midnight Warning DVD

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)

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...
