The Lone Gunmen (2001)

What a fresh concept

[8/10 · 29 January 2007]

It's just too bad that the studio's can't see it. The Lone Gunmen complete series is the short lived TV series spin off from the X-files by our lovable counter culture heroes "The Lone Gunmen." No super stud, soap opera models here, just common guys with a flair for conspiracy theories and intrigue, not to mention some just darned funny moments.

The series tackles many issues from your favorite childhood TV star, to "Blind Football" to the old urban legend of "The Water Powered Automobile." If you don't find yourself identifying with the three geeks in a personal way, you need to go back to watching Law & Order. They are just like us, which is probably why the money folks couldn't see past it.

Rustlers' Rhapsody (1985)

Parody of the old Singing Cowboy Movie

[8/10 · 15 August 2006]

Absolutely side splitting satirical look at the early singing cowboy western. Tom Berringer plays Rex O'Herlihan the singing cowboy who spoofs every western cliché in the book. Great comedy performances are made in this movie by Andy Griffith, Mary Lu Henner, Sela Ward and Fernado Rey plus a lot of great supporting actors. Also Patrick Wayne makes a guest appearance in the movie.

If you are looking for a sophisticated film that the critics all love, this probably won't be it. But if you're regular folks that enjoy the old time western, you'll bust a gut laughing at this movie. Side note, the main musical theme is performed by Rex Allen Jr. as well as the love theme by Country Artist Garry Morris.
