This Was SOOO AWESOME It Totally Merited A Reblog!!!

BIZZAM!!

Sweet.  Jiminy.  Christmas.

See?  Told you . . .I cannot wait for this . . .

Sorry, Sean Connery, but Daniel Craig has seriously taken over as the best James Bond ever.  Actually, he did that in Casino Royale.  It just looks like he is continuing the trend of super Badassery (that’s a technical term).

This is directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition).

What’s On Now?! “THE MAN FROM LARAMIE” (1955)

Posted by youjivinmeturkey on

Alright, My Peeps…

…Y’all Already Know Of My Love Of Classic Westerns…

…And Y’all Already Know Of My Love For JIMMY STEWART.

So…

…Why Not Make Mention Of…

…Yep…

…A CLASSIC JIMMY STEWART WESTERN!!!

You Got It, Kiddies!!!

So Let’s Mention…

“THE MAN FROM LARAMIE“

(1955)

…Starring…

JIMMY STEWART

…And…

ARTHUR KENNEDY

…And Directed By…

ANTHONY MANN

!!! !!!! !!!

Now…

…I’m Gonna Warn Ya, Kids…

…This Is NOT Your Typical JIMMY STEWART Western.

Period.

JIMMY STEWART Isn’t Your “Aw Shucks”, Lovable, Kindhearted Cowboy In This One.

No Sir.

No Ma’am.

Not At All.

“THE MAN FROM LARAMIE“

…Is Actually A Story Of REVENGE!!!

You See…

“WILL LOCKHART”

(JIMMY STEWART)

…Is In Search Of The Man Responsible For Selling Repeating-Rifles To The Local Apaches.

Why?

Because His Brother…

…A U.S. Army Cavalryman…

…Was Shot And Killed By Said Apaches With Said Rifles.

He’s Not After The Apaches…

…He Just Wants The Man Who Sold Them The Guns.

Period.

During His Little Quest…

…He’s Forced To Tangle With The Local Cattle-Baron And His Sadistic Son.

I’m Not Going To Give The Movie Away, My Peeps…

…BUT…

…I Will Say This…

…You’ve NEVER Seen JIMMY STEWART Like This, Before.

“THE MAN FROM LARAMIE“

…Was A Huge Departure For Him.

It’s A Solid Entry In Any Person’s Western Collection…

…And It’s One Of My Faves Of Faves!

Remember What I’ve Said Before About 1950s Westerns?

Well, The Same Applies Here.

They Sure Did Know How To Make A Rousing Western Flick, Fo SHO!!!

So, Kids…

…If You’re In The Mood To See A Western…

…With A Beloved Star Who’s Playing A Different Style Of Character…

“THE MAN FROM LARAMIE“

…Is A Quality Choice, I’ll Reckon!!!

Flicks You’ve Never Heard Of, But They’re Still Cool: “TRANSIT” (2012)

Posted by youjivinmeturkey on

Honestly, My Peeps…

…I Simply LOVED This Simple Little Flick.

Period.

It Really Reminded Me Of A Classic 1970s Or 1980s Action Flick…

…Only A Little More Serious.

“TRANSIT“

…Stars…

JIM CAVIEZEL

(A Personal Fave Fave Actor)

…As A Simple Dad…

…Taking His Suburban Family Out For Camping Purposes.

BUT…

…Earlier Than That…

…A Group Of Four (4) Baddies Had Ripped-Off An Armored Car…

…Taking All The Money They Could Handle…

…And Killing-Off The Armored Car Personnel.

Fast Forward A Tad…

…There’s A Roadblock.

The Baddies Know They Can’t Get Through It With BOTH Their Lives AND The Money.

Sooo…

…They Take Their Cash And Stash It In The Camping Gear Of Our Father And His Family.

The Flick That Ensues After This Setup Was Simply AWESOME!

JIM CAVIEZEL

…Is Simply PERFECT For This Flick.

He Brings An Intensity AND Honesty To His Performance That Totally Justifies My Love For The Man.

PERIOD.

So…

…What’s Gonna Happen, My Peeps?!

Will The Baddies Get Their Money?!

Will Our Father Figure Keep His Family Alive?!

Will Our Father Figure AND The Baddies Square-Off In A Pulse-Pounding Climax?!

WOW!

I Know, Right!

It Was FUN FUN FUN!!!

And You Know Me, My Peeps…

…I Go Into EVERY FLICK With No True Preconceptions.

Some People Say…

“I Hated/Liked This Flick Because It Reminded Me Of Blah Blah Blah!”

But You Know I Don’t Operate Like That.

I View Each Flick As An Individual.

They May Look Like Something Else…

…Or Play-Out A Bit Like Something Else…

…But In The End…

…Each Flick Is Its Own Flick…

…And I Try To Judge Them On An Individual Basis.

So…

…If You’re Looking For WHITE-KNUCKLE Tension…

…INTENSE Action…

…And Spot On Acting Performances…

…Then This Flick…

“TRANSIT“

…May Be Something You’ll Wanna Check-Out.

Have I Steered You Wrong Yet, My Peeps?!

Alright…

…Maybe Once Or Twice…

…But I Did So Honestly AND Sincerely.

😉

“TRANSIT“

…Is A Little Film…

…But It Packs A Helluva Punch!

Fo SHO Fo SHO!!!
