DVD Reviews of Lonesome DoveDVD Review: One of the best western's ever Summary: 5 StarsThere are enough other reviews here with details of the movie-no need for me to duplicate any of that info. Suffice it to say, IMO, this is without question one of the finest western's ever filmed.
Just MAKE SURE, if you buy it, you get the entire full-length movie!
DVD Review: This is unbelievable Summary: 1 StarsI can not even bring myself to finish watching this movie. When I first started watching it I was somewhat interested since I had heard all of the hype. After watching 20 mins I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. I could not believe that anyone could think this was worth watching. Then I thought I might be missing something or not understanding some type of weird humor. I have heard people rant about not being able to wait until the series came to DVD. While watching the 20 mins it felt like some sort of joke that I didn't get. Now after trying to give it a second and third chance and watching different parts of the movie and hoping it would get better I now am done. This is one of, if not the worst, movies I have ever seen and I can not believe someone was able to talk these well known actors into acting in this movie.
DVD Review: LARGER THAN LIFE Summary: 5 StarsFew westerns are in the same league as LONESOME DOVE. Simon Wincer captured the heart of Larry McMurtry's beautiful story about a 2,500 mile trail drive. Robert Duvall ( in what I believe to be his finest performance ), and Tommy Lee Jones as two ex-Texas Rangers are perfect in this amazingly, powerful epic ( the rest of the cast is pretty amazing as well ). No western collection should be without this mesmerizing, masterpiece.
DVD Review: Lonesome cowboy Summary: 5 StarsThis mini series reminds me of how I have longed for a good western and why I am a fan of westerns in general.The story never gets old(to me anyways)a long and close frienship is tested,good versus bad,rescuing the girl.Other reviewers are right when they stated that Duvall and Jones ARE McCrea and Call.I know some of you will laugh after reading this,but I really can identify with both characters in this movie.I see myself as the serious Call,but also the jester McCrea.I guess that's why I love Lonesome Dove so much.Most people will probably relate to one or the other character.I won't sit here and say that everytime I view it I find something new,NO,I just love this story and everything about it...plain and simple.Kids now a days really don't know what they are missing.The camp fires,the horse trails,stagecoaches and chuck wagons,salons,gamblers,cattle rustlers,indian raids,the list could go on and on!This movies has it all for any true western fan.I'd hoped that westerns were making a comeback,but,t.v. viewers are more interested in reality t.v. rather than entertainment,so the western might be riding into the sunset(I really hope not,it is what defines US,as Americans!).I have been to three different countries so far in my life.A good portion of the people in those countries all wanted to be American cowboys!That should say something about America!Yes,I would recommend this mini series to ANYONE,not only does it tell a great story about friendship,but it also tells a great story about us Americans!
DVD Review: great movie Summary: 5 StarsI loved this movie when it first came out 20 years ago. It is the best western I have seen. Robert Duval and Tommy Lee Jones were a perfect match in this movie. It wouldn't be the same without them. It has it all. Romance,drama,learning about life comedy and heart ache.
Description of Lonesome DoveExperience the Emmy Award-winning masterpiece as never before with Lonesome Dove 2-Disc Collector's Edition. Presented for the first time in Widescreen and 5.1 surround sound, this all-time western classic is now digitally re-mastered with all-new bonus features.Based upon the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Larry McMurtry and set in the late nineteenth century, this sprawling epic of the Old West is the story of the last defiant frontier, a daring cattle drive, and an undying love. Featuring epic performances by Robert Duvall, Tommy lee Jones, Angelica Houston, Diane Lane, Danny Glover, Robert Urich, and Chris Cooper, Lonesome Dove continues to be a treasured classic for generations to come. Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones star as Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call, aging cowboys and former Texas rangers and who organize a 2,500 mile cattle drive for one last great adventure in this excellent 1989 miniseries adaptation of Larry McMurtry's novel. The best friends, who steal the herd from a gang of Mexican cattle rustlers, drive their herd from Texas to Montana, battling horse thieves, angry Indian tribes, and a renegade half-breed killer named Blue Duck (Frederic Forrest) on a mission of revenge. The excellent cast also includes Robert Urich as cardsharp and former Ranger Jake Spoon, Anjelica Huston as McCrae's old flame Clara Allen, Danny Glover, Ricky Schroder, Diane Lane, Chris Cooper, D.B. Sweeney, Steve Buscemi, and even a small role for author Larry McMurtry. Australian director Simon Wincer shows a tremendous capacity for balancing sweeping drama and intimacy against the gorgeous landscape of the American Southwest, giving a grandly epic feel to the film despite its small-screen target and limited budget, and for forging memorable characters of even the smallest supporting parts. The heart of the drama belongs to McCrae and Call, memorably etched by Duvall and Jones as the last of the range romantics. In the age of revisionist Westerns, this excellent cattle-drive drama nicely maintains an old-fashioned feeling while still showing the dark side of the American West. Winner of seven Emmy Awards and responsible for two miniseries sequels (Return to Lonesome Dove and Dead Man's Walk) and a TV series. --Sean Axmaker
