OSCAR: This movie is an updated remake of one of my favorite all-time westerns – My Darling Clementine (1946) – starring Henry Fonda as Wyatt Earp and Victor Mature as Doc Holiday. Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer did a great job in this movie and it is entertaining. The only negative for me, and it is because of My Darling Clementine, is that this movie is a little too polished for a western in my opinion. I still loved it and the modern cast was very good. One of my favorite scenes has a ‘blink and you will miss it’ scene with Billy Bob Thorton who is younger and heavier than he is in ‘Landman’. I wanted to include Huckleberry Hound for a couple of reasons…One, Doc Holiday tells Johnny Ringo in this scene illustrated that he is his ‘Huckleberry’ and the other reason is I grew up with Hanna-Barbera cartoons and Huckleberry Hound was one of my favorites!!
EMMY: I grew up in the same era as Oscar and enjoyed the cartoons as well. Tombstone is a great movie and I for one, enjoy this modern western more that the old westerns that Oscar favors. He is yelling “blasphemy” behind me haha!!! Tell us your thoughts on this fantastic movie!!
