Micransix Crappy film
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
bkoganbing From Hell To Texas as cattle baron R.G. Armstrong on a mission. His eldest son was killed in a bar brawl, he fell on his own knife. But R.G. doesn't want to hear that. Armstrong has all his men out hunting Don Murray the young cowboy who was brawling with his son.For a guy who says he has scruples about killing people Murray does a pretty good job of taking care of business. Murray starts a horse stampede to elude Armstrong's men and another of his sons Ken Scott is killed. Now with only Dennis Hopper of his brood left, Armstrong's mission intensifies.Armstrong is the local Ben Cartwright, but Ben Cartwright would have a lot more good will and public opinion behind him then Armstrong can muster. In fact all kinds of people help in Murray's flight including Indian trader Jay C. Flippen and rancher Chill Wills who has six daughters at home with oldest Diane Varsi giving Murray the once over.Henry Hathaway directed this and keeps action and the interest going. From Hell To Texas is a good A budget western even without any really big western names in the cast. A good one for western fans.
joeygranma This western has all the elements that make it highly watchable. It is fast paced and full of action, has interesting characters you care about and romance but not too much and good plotting. The casting is excellent especially with Murray in the lead and one has to wonder why it is sitting on a shelf somewhere while lesser films are on video and TV and shown repeatedly. The unavailability of this film and other good films make me wonder what the selection process involves and who makes the decisions that govern what we ultimately view. There are not many votes for "From Hell To Texas" but in my opinion that is because many have never had the chance to view it in the first place. On the other hand many mediocre films have many votes probably because they are available rather than of quality. I can think of at least half a dozen films that fall in the same category. There should be some better method of resurrecting films like "From Hell To Texas" so that generations behind me can at least have the opportunity to know that a film like this even exists.
bux The story deals with the pursuit of a young man by a family of Cattlemen in the Southwest. There's plenty of action and the story moves along at a quick pace, however it cannot compare to the novel(The Hell Bent Kid)by Charles O. Locke. For some reason Hollywood always seems to shoot for the happy ending, whereas the conclusion in the book was gut-wrenching. Not shown on TV very often anymore, but is available on VHS if you look hard enough, and it is worth the effort.
Topher-26 This is a very decent film. For some reason, it doesn't seem to be available on videotape and I think it's a shame given how much stuff out there doesn't deserve to be on VHS.I didn't think it was neither great nor terrible, rather average in my opinion but with a nice continuity and good editing. Some of it was a bit cliché but as I said, it remains decent and enjoyable.7 / 10
