In 1892, a legendary Army Captain reluctantly agrees to escort a Cheyenne chief and his family through dangerous territory.
Intense Western with splendid performances and cinematography has some harrowing scenes of violence; the anti-racist message, however, is presented without much depth and is quite predictable.
As a cowardly farmer begins to fall for the mysterious new woman in
town, he must put his new-found courage to the test when her husband, a
notorious gun-slinger, announces his arrival.
Mildly entertaining Western comedy with an unnecessary cast of top-rate stars; most jokes are hit-or-miss and, too often, vulgar.
A paraplegic marine dispatched to the moon Pandora on a unique mission
becomes torn between following his orders and protecting the world he
feels is his home.
Spellbinding ecological science fiction with great visuals and a simplistic message.
On renewed viewing: great to warch, but the White Saviour plot is still disconcerting.
Maltin***: "Innovative, futuristic fable, set in a rich computer-generated environment and populated with strikingly designed creatures...Thrilling at times, with a cornucopia of wonders to behold. Cameron's parable about imperialism too often resorts to B-movies cliches and goes on too all long, but the visual experience trumps most of its flaws."
Two Native Amercans leave the Reservation to take a road trip across the badlands of the
American Midwest to save one's sister from unjust imprisonment.
Likable Native American feel-good road movie with a slight political stance, but otherwise it's a meandering tale with a colorful cast of characters.
Halliwell (no star): "Rambling road movie that comes to the conclusion that it is morally justifiable for the exploited to lie, cheat and steal."
Maltin***: "Not a totally successful film, but unusual and satisfying, with a standout performance by Farmer, an immensely likable actor who makes his character both endearing and ennobling."
