You're a smart movie ...Billy, by all means go. You're a smart movie critic so I'll be curious to see what your opinion is. I thought the critics were far too hard on this one. Yes, it's overly long and draggy in bits, but I suspect the problem was the critics took this film far too seriously. It's a Roadrunner cartoon, a live action "Rango," and a perfect remake for 2013 -- instead of the 1950's can-do optimism of the old TV series, this film captures our current sorry zeitgeist perfectly: Our national myth turns out to be a clueless, well-meaning doofus who's helpless in the face of corporate greed, being helped along the way by a delusional, deracinated Native American Icon who has no future, outside of a diorama. <br />Plus a horse who likes to climb trees. <br />Perfect.

This movie has been disappointingly getting killed by the critics, which certainly doesn't diminish my man crush on Johnny Depp, but my wife and I thought we might sit this one out. Now we have the Calhoun seal of approval, so off to the movies we go!! <br /><br /> Billy Dunnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740796201749942334noreply@blogger.com
