VHS Movie Reviews of The Good Old Boys
Movie Review: where's the DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Why can I not get a DVD for this movie? I have been waiting for years for a DVD and still nothing. Movie Review: Jones in SELF-INDULGENT Mode
Summary: 1 Stars
On the strength of the consistent rave reviews here of this Tommy Lee Jones project - he co-wrote, directed, and starred in the film - we got this over-priced video. Talk about the sensation of being from another planet! We were amazed to discover that the movie is truly awful (read: AWFUL). Jones was clearly worshipping at his own altar, with incessant lingering close-ups of his grinning face. Like Costner's self-glorifying DANCES WITH WOLVES, THE GOOD OLD BOYS rarely sports a single frame which does not showcase Jones. Neither star is sufficiently talented as an actor or as a director to carry an entire film, yet both are compelled to take their places on both sides of the camera. When Jones isn't chewing the scenery with those all-too-exposed teeth (the man literally never closes his lips from start to finish), he is directing the wasted Spacek in a thankless role as a frustrated spinster. More offensive than Spacek's painfully over-the-top girlishness is the notion that ANY woman - frustrated or otherwise - would pursue an unbathed, aging, penniless, dim-witted drifter whose ludicrously exaggerated accent could scrape paint off a fender. Movie Review: The Good Old Boys
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually bought this for my husband to read, but found I enjoyed it almost as much as he did. He (my husband) is a great fan of good westerns, and liked this book so well, he had me order the vhs tape of the same name. Movie Review: Tommy Lee Had Me at "Cow-ology"
Summary: 4 Stars
Who could resist a movie that opens with a salty old cowpoke complaining to his horse, "Biscuit", that he's weary of "cow-ology"? That short monologue sets the tone for a film that is much like its main character: simple and appealing. Having grown up in West Texas, I can recall characters exactly like those portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones and Sam Shepherd. It's apparent that GOOD OLD BOYS was directed (by Jones) with genuine affection for the material. Jones, along with Sam Shepherd and Sissy Spacek are wonderful. But the supporting players are just as great, including a youngster by the name of Matt Damon.
If anyone at TNT reads this, please release a DVD version of GOOD OLD BOYS and include a commentary by its director, Mr.Jones and his fine cast.
Movie Review: An Unrecognized Classic.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is simply a great movie....a classic that has gone unnoticed. Why isn't this on DVD?
