Howdy!
I love Westerns.
... and the intent of MyFavoriteWesterns.com is to celebrate Western Movies/Film - old and new.
This site will eventually show my top 30 favorite Westerns - or more. I will have original graphic work with regular updates.
All this - and more ...
Yee Haw ... !!

Yup … you’re right Don. He is over the top for sure, Usually not much subtlety in his work. I remember watching Raising Arizona (way back) and wondering what the heck is this stuff??? And right now he’s extra chaotic. He had a mass of financial issues I heard – so his solution was to crank out movies as fast as possible – and he hasn’t been all that discriminating in his selection. 50/50 on quality.

I will wait for your review, JC. To me Cage is an overacting over rated actor in spite of his talented family. I can’t see him in a western.
