Balthazar-Getty Movie Reviews

H. D. Dalton (Scott Glenn) is a bull-riding cowboy, chasing his dreams, living for the romance of the rodeo.

I would be a traveller of this movie & it is in my heart and in my blood and the events we would be doing chasing the dream is:

Bareback Riding,
Saddle Bronc Riding,
Bull Riding,
Calf & Steer Roping,
Steer Wrestling & of course the rodeo clowns.

This was A good aswome real rodeo movie I loved!!!!!!

The country and western singers of the hits by Willie Nelson, Keith Whitley, Alabama, Lorrie Morgan, Clint Black, Baillie and the Boys, Foster and Lloyd, K.T. Oslin, Roger Miller and The Oak Ridge boys.

This video reminds me of a book and video on Whitefish Will Rides Again and Don Gay's worst Wrecks at Mesquite Rodeo.

I sure loved this movie.

Out of the two Young Guns movies this is the more well known story of the life of Billy the Kid. You don't actually need to have seen the original to enjoy this movie but the original is pretty good too so you might as well.

The trailer for the movie is also included which is pretty interesting to see how it was marketed in the USA. There's also a featurette which is a sort of behind the scenes, interview with the actors type thing. It's pretty interesting. You can also just watch the credits if you want to listen to Jon Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory and Billy get Your Guns songs.

Like Young Guns this movie has an excellent cast with Keifer Sutherland, Emilio Estevez, Christian Slater and Lou Diamond Phillips being the most famous ones. My only criticism is that they used William Petersen a different actor to play Pat Garrett than Patrick Wayne who played him in Young Guns. Once you get used to this it doesn't matter. This is a sensational DVD you should buy it as well as Young Guns. If you love the movie consider buying Blaze of Glory the solo album inspired by the film by Jon Bon Jovi as it'll take you back memory wise to the film each time you play it.

Ironically for me, Kennedy played a rather small role, but a memorable one nonetheless, and one that he nails as the doormat for a witch of a fiancee and a pain of a boss.

Again, the strength of this flick is in all the great characters that orbit around the life of Mr. Sol Goode (pronounced "good"). "Ss-ol Goode, ay? Did you think of that all on your own?".

Buy it, borrow it, or rent it, but give this movie a chance!

If you liked Dead Poet's Society (DPS is better because of Robin Williams) or A Separate Peace by John Knowles, you will like this movie. It is a movie that leads you on a journey, using a group of rich kids that signed up for a year at sea. Jeff Bridges is the tough captain that sets out to instill discipline and teach them that they must respect him, the ship, and, most importantly, each other.

I won't give away the ending, but the movie succeeds in delivering its messages of honor and individual responsibility. It does a fantastic job of delivering this message while leading you along a journey with Jeff Bridges and the crew of the ship.

Always is interesting to see a movie from the experimental director David Lynch, so "Lost Highway" has interesting parts, however, sometimes it gives the sensation that the only person in the world that is pleased with the events on-screen is David Lynch, and that is a bad thing because the movie fans are the main reason why the movies are made.

But putting that aside, "Lost Highway" is an interesting exercise of film experimentation. The highlight may be Robert Blake as "The Mystery Man", he is really a creepy character.

Just listen to the song by Hank Williams. I heard for the first time a year and a half after I saw the movie and it put the whole thing into perspective for me.

I saw this years ago in the theatre, so beyond that, all I remember are beautiful colors, Robert Blake calling himself on the phone (and looking just like Richard Benson - The Avenger!), and a stunning Patricia Arquette. However, I'm game for another viewing after these reviews.

If you're just starting out with David Lynch, a good jump off point is The Elephant Man and Wild At Heart, then segue into the wierder stuff with Blue Velvet and Eraserhead (that movie makes me ill), maybe even Dune if that's your cup of tea.

The first time I saw "Lost Highway" was by way of a very poorly transferred preview tape with a timecode at the bottom of the screen. The lousy video and audio quality combined with the extremely oblique plot and narrative structure left me scratching my head and saying, "HUH?" Later, when the film made its way to one of our local movie theaters, I decided to give it another chance. That the audio and visual quality was vastly better goes without saying ... and I was also able to mull over the story and at least try to piece together the puzzle. After I viewed the film yet a third time, having rented a copy from a video store, my opinion of it had improved greatly.

But make no mistake about it: Viewers who like their movies spoon-fed to them and want plot and narrative to be tidy and neat will not like this film. In "Lost Highway" David Lynch has given us a world in which the notions of cause and effect are not QUITE was we are accustomed to, a world in which one might literally assume a new identity if pushed to emotional extremis, a world in which one might come face to face with his own doppleganger in the darkened hallway of one's own home.

You can watch "Lost Highway" over and over, and each time you might feel like you've come a little closer to putting all the pieces together and solving the puzzle ... but the solution forever evades your grasp ... just barely. It's frustrating and provocative all at once, an enigmatic Rubik's Cube of a film. Many people don't like movies like this, but I do. The best works of art are often the most intellectually challenging, and in David Lynch's universe a good mystery doesn't necessarily have to have a solution.
