Customer Reviews: It’s hard to be negative about a movie with good intentions, but this take on a young girl struggling with her sexuality and her best friend in New York City often hits the wrong notes (the ending is a perfect example) and sometimes drags; watch the far superior, albeit subtitled, Show Me Love instead. true story line Loved this movie all over me All Over Me by Alison Folland, Tara Subkoff, Cole Hauser, Wilson Cruz Absolutely Fantastic!!!

Customer Reviews: WORST WESTERN I’VE SEEN SINCE TOMBSTONE(1993)!! Save your Money!! My sister and I are Movie Mavens, and being tom-boys, LOVE westerns, and this “film”, term used loosely, was not worth the RENTAL PRICE, let alone whatever their production budget was! The most redeeming thing was Viggo Mortensen’s valiant attempt to salvage the “material” he was given with his performance as Everett Hitch, by far the MOST INTERESTING, SYMPATHETIC CHARACTER IN THE ENTIRE STORY, but the man isn’t a miracle worker and can’t carry the whole movie on his own because he has to, unfortunately, interact with the other loathsome characters around him. This was a self-indulgent and cliche Western for Ed Harris, who “apparently” produced, directed, starred and co-wrote the screenplay adaptation from the novel. Someone PLEASE TELL HIM to stick with acting (Love Ed Harris as an actor, but this film was an all around mistake!) If you’ve seen the Trailer, you have seen all of the best scenes in three minutes. The poor plot drags on for TWO HOURS. Great Academy AWARD WINNING or Nominated Actors didn’t show in this no plot, no action, nothing film. From the cliche music, to the lack of creativity with the names (I suppose I have to blame the author for that!) to the sauntering at a relaxed paced to the “rescue”; The order of scenes and cuts are so jarring, that there is no real definition of time, no clue of how many days/weeks had they been there, how long did it take for these events to play out, a minor thing if the film is well written and edited, but here this detail blatantly stands out. This movie was Beyond Dull! SPOILERS follow: The character of Mrs. Allison French (Zellweger) is weak (in personality as well as development and performance), disloyal at the drop of her corset, just unlikable and annoying from the word “hello”(Yes, Zellweger lost me AT “Hello”), and her squinty eyes only momentarily distract from her horrid costumes and deliberate delivery to SHOW she was ACTING in this movie! As if to say “it’s not me Rene Zellweger in a western, It’s Mrs. French, I am Mrs. French now! do you follow where I’m going with this?” Mrs. French must have been born a Sagittarius, because when she’s not with the Marshal she claims to love, she loves whatever man she’s with. Mrs. French reminds me of a LEECH, attaching herself to a man out of necessity, for money, protection, “gratification”, to be taken care of (obviously, this character was written by a man) and she is in constant search for the alpha male in whatever situation she finds herself in to provide her needs of the moment, who ever has the most power gets to be her bed buddy. The only difference between Mrs. French and the other “whores” in the movie is at least the “whores” get paid for what they do, their working girls with bills to pay, Mrs. French is just a slut. Usually there are two types of women in westerns, the prudish easily offended maiden, or the whores at the saloons. Mrs. French seems to be a bizarre attempt to merge the two, when the two personalities obviously contradict!! (For a wonderful western female role model examples, I would direct you to Olivia De Havilland in Dodge City and They Died with Their Boots On or Annette Bening in Open Range) Even more idiotic, Mrs. French seems to resent that Marshal Virgil Cole is a lawman, which he had been for years before he met her!! She resents that he has to stay at his jail all day and WATCH HIS PRISONERS SO THEY DON’T, you know, ESCAPE and do more BAD THINGS!! As a character for women to identify with, she was stereotypically NEEDY, NAGGING, chronically disloyal, Dependent SOLELY on MEN, even for the time period, I understand there was no “women’s lib” back then, but there was such an idea of dignity, self-respect, and the weight of reputation; I felt no sympathy for Allison French or the PROBLEMS SHE CREATED for herself. (Again, obviously written by a man.) Marshal Cole (Harris) likes Mrs. French because she’s “clean and smells good, chews her food nice” and isn’t like the “whores and squaws I’ve been with”, GAG! The dialogue was simple, laughable and SAD, there was an awful lot of Soap Opera introspection for Shoot EM UP COWBOYS. Cole (Harris) claims to have no feelings because he needs to compartmentalize and focus on doing his job: get the bad guys, but he’s a school boy softy when Mrs. French walks in the room and goes on PICNICS! HITCH’s (Mortensen) whore/lady friend doubles as his SHRINK on how to be the best SIDE KICK TO Marshal Cole’s (HARRIS’s) HERO. Should Hitch tell Cole that Mrs. French tried to kiss him? oh, riveting dilemma… NOT! HITCH was the only one I identified with because he’s more “sensitive than those other cowboys” and seemed to be the most noble and moral of all the other characters. OVER ALL, the pace was dreadfully slow and there was a lack of suspense through out the film. You know that usual excited feeling you get while watching a film you’re actually enjoying, where you can’t wait to see what comes next. I didn’t CARE! Action? What action? The cleaning up the town mission is bring bad guys to justice for murder didn’t seem as important to the Marshal when his girlfriend came to town in the previously mentioned “Love Trapezoid”; We paused it after about an hour, so I could make Popcorn, just so I could have something to do during the film, eat! When Hitch and Cole finally had something to do beside drink coffee, and analyze their feelings, they ride to the “rescue” at a sauntering pace while the damsel in distress, Mrs. French, is in kidnapped and in “danger”. Don’t worry she wasn’t “defiled”, she was a willing partner with her captor, betraying her beau, Marshall Cole, again for as she said “Survival”. The Final “GUN FIGHT” Was so anti-climatic I forgot that Jeremy Irons was even in the movie as the Villain because we hardly saw him, until he too had relations with Mrs. French (did I mention she was a slut?!) That being the apparent last straw that motivated the final gunfight, not by her suitor Marshal Cole, to defend the final shed of her “honor” if she had any to begin with that is, but by MR. Hitch to merely eliminate the Competition for his friend Marshal Cole!! Seriously?? That’s your solution? that’s you’re way of being a good side kick? What’s to stop Mrs. French from dropping her drawers with the next powerful man that comes to town!! As previously stated, I love westerns, but this movie was/is seriously lacking! In summary, JUST AS BAD if not WORSE than TOMBSTONE. Don’t Bother, I took the bullet so you wouldn’t have to! This is a MUST SKIP MOVIE!! SAVE YOUR MONEY! Apalooza Colt Does Make a Heavy Firearm The story is familiar to most fans of the genre. Rancher Randall Bragg, played with cold charm by Jeremy Irons, believes he and his men are above the law. They take food and supplies from the town of Appaloosa and create a general atmosphere of terror. Enter Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch, travelling lawmen hired by the town to deal with Bragg and his henchman who have disposed of the town’s previous sheriff. Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen are excellent in the roles of Cole and Hitch, capturing perfectly the complex friendship and loyalty between the two men. They institute a new set of laws and proceed to enforce them, much to the chagrin of Bragg, his men, and the town fathers alike. Complicating matters is the arrival of a piano playing widow, Alison French, played by Renee Zellweger. She takes a fancy to Cole and the feeling is mutual. Alison has issues of her own, however, chiefly the need to be with whatever man she perceives to be the alpha male. This leads to problems later in the film. The film deftly moves between Cole and Hitch’s efforts to bring Bragg to justice and Cole’s burgeoning relationship with Ally. The two plots come together in an unexpected fashion and lead directly to the resolution of the film. The movie is dialog driven and moves slow in places, but it never seems ponderous. The relationship between Cole and Hitch drives the film. Their loyalty and deep bond for one another is something that Robert Parker has always been adept at creating and Harris wisely showcases these elements in his screenplay and direction. Harris’s director’s eye is impeccable, making use of classic western imagery. The attention to detail is impressive, as weapons, clothing, and setting appear authentic to the times. The violence in the movie comes in quick brutal spurts, very realistically portrayed. I enjoyed the hell out of this movie, just as I had the novel. The characters act and talk the way you wish you could in real life. The casting was great and even Renee Zellweger held her own. (I was especially pleased to find that Lance Henriksen was cast as a hired gun employed by Bragg.) Ed Harris does a remarkable job as Cole, a cold man with few social graces, struggling with his feelings for Ally, driven to defeat Bragg and enforce his law. When he’s violent it is without remorse. Mortensen is equally as good as Hitch, a more emotional man, who sees the darkness in Cole, but doesn’t have it himself. As I said before, their dynamic makes the film work. This is a western in the tradition of Unforgiven (Two-Disc Special Edition) and Tombstone - The Director’s Cut (Vista Series), maybe not quite as good as those two films, but it’s damn close. Even though I knew what was coming, it was still stirring to see the action played out on the screen. The movie’s ending is elegant, holding true to the code that the two main characters have forged. Clunky at Best

Customer Reviews: I saw this young man at the Rainbow Festival while I was volunteering for the Sac Center and Equality California. I’ll admit that I wasn’t really into a lot of the acts that were going on because I was busy walking the grounds and ensuring everything was in order. That was until I saw Nathan Temby take the stage wearing a “Keep It Gay” t-shirt and a keyboard. I stopped and listened. The music resonated through the banter of the crowd and really spoke to me. I must’ve stood there through his entire set, mesmerized and feeling tingly. To top it off, he finished the set with a cover of Tori Amos’ “Take To The Sky” co-mingled with Carole King’s “I Feel The Earth Move.” That was it, I was gonna get this guy’s CD. I made my way to the stage-side, bought a copy, had it autographed and left feeling elated. I vowed to listen to it on my way back from the festival. I’m glad I did. Mr. Temby’s sound is piano-based, combined with an impressive vocal range reinforced with emotion and insightful lyrics, “Pocket Change” is a near-perfect debut. The only drawback is that it is simply not long enough to enjoy. As a result, I am often putting it on the “Repeat All” setting. The production is great, focusing on the piano and bringing it to the forefront when there are other instruments in the mix. Temby’s voice is the icing to a rather delectable musical entree. Each song of the 12-song album serves up its own flavour. Personally, it’s more soulful than the run-of-the-mill piano chanteuse. Which he is not. Some of my personal highlights from the record are “Atlantis” with its sweeping vocals and gentle, soulful delivery. Followed by “The Last Bells” with the driving sweep of the keys as Temby showcases impressive dexterity of finger and key as well as vocals. The solo in the song is perhaps the most driven bit of music I’ve heard since first listening to Tori Amos play the harpsichord in the Pele days. The last minutes are wired with such awesome lyrics and delivery that I am often left feeling cheated and empty. It’s great music. The album has its quieter moments with songs like “Hostage,” “Soldier,” “Prayer” and the title cut. The stand-out in this department would have to be “Soldier” which addresses the anxiety, wonder and melancholy of the unknown fate of a loved one who may be in the military or someone who faces dangerous circumstances regularly. Though this may not be Temby’s intent, it addresses my personal views on gay military members and their partners who may never know the fate of their fellow uniformed loved ones. Overall, Temby’s intentions may be just for the listener to interpret what he has created, to take from it what we can. Either way, he has done a masterful job tapping into the emotional core of this former military man. There are great moments in this record. “Sweet Denmark” always leaves me with a feeling of inspiration and elation with its coupling of piano and a band. Temby demonstrates his passionate voice in this track, leaving me feeling intoxicated and feeling better about life overall. “Baggaged Ones” was one of the clearer tracks I heard at the festival and it resonated with me, the studio track both resonates and captures me as a story unfolds within the words. This is a great track for those who are experiencing the emotions and loss of a relationship as he addresses memories to the weight of the soul (”Maybe you should lose some weight/Baby, these memories weigh a ton/When we’re a million miles away/Will you still have room for these baggaged ones?”). The repeated line, “You said it’s better this way and I said I knew you so well,” keeps me drawn to what Temby’s got next. And there are greater moments still. During the drive home from the festival, this track kept me feeling good. “Downtown” with its sultry, late-night feel as a result of Temby’s well-delivered lyrics and the awesomely metropolitan chorus. The verses are obscure, however, the voice is the star in this track. The production focuses more on creating atmosphere with the band and the piano. Temby’s voice is both sexy and free, the piano solo is great here as well. It’s jazzy, sultry and leaves me wanting more. This track is the one I put on repeat most often. Overall, I’m impressed with Nathan Temby’s debut and wish I’d known about him earlier. Perhaps it’d have helped with the earlier events of my life. Either way, I’m thankful for his contribution to the music world and cannot wait for what he has next. I only hope to catch him in more than the final show of his tour. Singer/songwriter/pianist shines throughout album! Nathan Temby - ‘Pocket Change’ just amazing
