A Western Classic!
Reviewed by JustGus for Red River at 2010-12-02 16:55:36

Howard Hawks directs John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, Walter Brennan, John Ireland, Noah Beery, Jr. and Joanne Dru in this classic western about the first cattle drive from Texas to Kansas. A western mutiny on the bounty and one not to be missed. The cinematography is beautiful and Ford commented on Wayne's perfomance that he always knew the big lug could act, he was just never able to get the kind of perfomance out of him that Hawks did!

A masterpiece.
Reviewed by NWRdr4 for Rio Bravo at 2010-02-06 21:05:58

Rio Bravo is a western that's rich in characterization and great dialogue; it also doesn't lack its share of awesome shootouts. John Wayne and Dean Martin give Oscar-worthy performances. Angie Dickinson, Ricky Nelson, and Walter Brennan aren't too bad themselves. A fine film worth watching over and over again.

Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
Reviewed by IlozZoc for The Bride of Frankenstein at 2009-12-08 15:59:40

To entice Whale back to the laboratory he was practically given carte blanche to direct his way, which he did, by greatly loosening conventionality with his caustic wit tempered by derision for having to succumb to commercial necessity, and by an unbridled flair for pushing boundaries; all of which combine to produce a less serious and less sedate film than Frankenstein, but far grander. Bride of Frankenstein borders on the outrageous; part parody, part satire, it is a reluctant parable touched with fantasy that periodically explodes into quintessential horror theatrics, providing Whale with a lucrative vehicle to poke fun at domestic relationships, the budding horror genre he helped foster, and allow him to lay bare his inner struggle between his homosexuality and society's ambivalence toward it. Henry, the Monster, Elizabeth, Pretorius, the townspeople, all represent parts of Whale's tag team match with his inner demons, yearning for, while disgusted with, a social conventionality he can never attain, but still desires deeply. http://www.zomboscloset.com/zombos_closet_of_horror_b/2009/11/bride-of-frankenstein.html

Classic Wayne
Reviewed by LongLivetheD for Rio Bravo at 2008-03-26 10:48:38

This is one of those movies i have to watch when I come across it on cable. Wayne and Martin have great chemistry, and Brennan adds just the right amount of humor. Wayne is basically playing Wayne by this time, but he's so #!@%*# good at it, you just have to go along.
