An American war western directed by Sam Peckinpah, starring Charlton Heston, Richard Harris and James Coburn.
A notorious group of Native American Indians are resisting being conquered by white men in a violent manner. A military leader forms an unlikely group of soldiers to deal with the threat.
Boring. Military stuff involving large groups of cavalry do not interest me in the least. Be it a sword and sandal peplum of an American western, I care not. The plot obviously did not even begin to catch my attention and I could not discern many unique characters. The horse thief was the only one who stood out in my view. I noticed unreasonable amounts of underexposure in the video. I could hear all of the dialogue and the music seemed appropriate. I turned this off at 0:43 of 2:10. I'm rating it shit in accordance with my turn off policy.
An American drama directed by Blake Edwards, starring James Coburn.
A doctor at a hospital ummmm..... There's a dead girl and.... uh...
James Coburn is one of my favorite actors and it was good to see him as the main character. This was not painful to watch. Now that the niceness is out of the way, I can say how bad this sucked. It was so dull and the plot was so murky that I had trouble paying attention. I did watch the whole thing and it did kill some time. Unfortunately, it was all drivel. There were 2 memorable scenes with Coburn tormenting the antagonist (a teenage girl) by driving his car fast and psyching her out by making her think that she was going through drug withdrawal. The rest was filler. I rate this bad. Do not watch!
An American science fiction written and directed by Michael Crichton, starring Albert Finney and James Coburn.
A plastic surgeon does specific surgeries on some models who end up dying. He befriends the most recent and only survivor of these, going with her to a research facility with high tech machines that are used to optimize advertisements.
This was alright. The part that I liked most was the title track, "Looker". There was also a scene that I thought was funny in which the surgeon shoots the villain with a looker gun and kicks him in the nuts. The company's hypnotic advertising technique was very true to life and genuinely reflects how things work in the real world, art imitating life. The plot was just interesting enough to pass the time, but there was absolutely zero character development. The audio and video style was very retro '80s, which I liked. Camera-work and editing was decent, fitting the scenes without being amazing. The soundtrack was very limited, with only about 3 pieces of music that were repeated throughout the duration. Overall, it's a mediocre film to watch while passing the time. I rate it o.k.
An American Western by John Sturges, starring Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Charles Bronson.A gunslinger finds that a small village is being raided by harriers on a regular basis. He gathers more gunslingers and together they try to protect the village.This is the American remake version of Seven Samurai (Shichinin No Samurai) and the plot is almost identical. Just substitute revolvers (hard calibers) for swords. I thought the plot and characters were good. James Coburn is a must for any western film if it does ya fine. The style was very clear and coherent, say thank ya. I'm rating this good, excuse the Dark Tower slang, but it's about effing GUNSLINGERS!
A western directed by Sam Peckinpah, starring James Coburn and Kris Kristofferson.
A new sheriff and former friend of Billy the Kid is after this outlaw because a governor wants Billy dead or alive. Basically, cowboys drink whiskey and shoot each other.
I thought this was pretty cool. James Coburn stalks the wild west with a giant flask in search of his target, not letting a scene go by without alcohol entering his mouth. Billy (Kristofferson) does the same, but he's trying to escape or hide and he's got a glass bottle. There's a scene in a bar where Coburn sends someone's lackey to give him an inventory of food items while Coburn roughs up some guys. The inventory man's dialogue goes something like "beans, spinach, beans, lima beans, spinach, beans..." Cowboys and their beans... Obviously the characters were good. I liked the plot although it was hard to follow at some points and the style was cool. I'm giving his one of those good, solid green ratings.
A drama directed by Paul Schrader, starring James Coburn, Willem Dafoe and Nick Nolte.A low level law enforcement official in a small town has problems with his family and job. When a hunting accident kills a tourist, the "cop" thinks that it wan't an accident and this adds to his problems.Ithink this was a definite waste of a good cast. There's the thief from The Good Thief, the forensic detective from Boondock Saints and the explosives expert from Duck You Sucker. These 3 guys should have been in something a little more exciting. I got bored, so I'm rating it poor. The only things that saved it from a bad rating have already been mentioned.
A western directed by Sergio Leone, starring James Coburn.A Scottish revolutionary goes to Mexico with lots of explosives. He tricks a Mexican highwayman into helping him with a Mexican revolution.Sergio Leone can do no wrong. He's right up there with Ralph Bakshi and Akira Kurosawa and this film is a good example. It is awesome as it has good plot, characters, settings, soundtrack and action. The scene at the bridge is my favorite because the 2 men face off against an army. I'm going with an awesome rating here.
A war movie directed by Sam Peckinpah.A platoon leader who suffers head injuries leads his men in world war 2.The audio and video were good.check out: The hospital scenes in which reality is uncertain.James Coburn is one of my favorite actors, probably because of his roles in Sergio Leone's films. He saved this from getting a bad review. I saw the opening and decided to shoot this down bad for being a war film. It turned out to be an o.k. flick. It's for people who like "Dirty Dozen" style war movies.
