After paying to see the cookie-cutout, sadly derivative & unoriginal Pirates of the Caribbean, featuring another in a long series of ho-hum, mailed in performances by Johnny Depp, I proudly snuck in to Open Range with my head held high.
I mean, come on, this is movie making right here. Adventure, romance, faithful dog, OR's got it all. The Great Kevin Costner had already defined the baseball, apocalypse, ghost, and Elvis movies previously; now he re-emphasizes his dominance of the western.
No point in spoiling any of it for the many of you who are doubtless waiting until the Labor Day weekend to see it(and thanks, I appreciated having my choice of seats on opening night), but just as a teaser, you won't see chemistry like that btwn TGKC & Annette Bening in OR up on screen very often. If I were Warren Beatty I'd be a little concerned! /images/graemlins/wink.gif
Yep, forget all about Young Guns II and all your other so-called classic westerns. TGKC has done it again. Not even Strother Martin could've made Open Range any better. I smell Oscar! Can't wait to see what TGKC does with a pirate movie.
Johnny Depp, Shmohnny Depp. Guy peaked getting ate by a bed in Nightmare On Elm Street.
