Although we lampooned it a bit in class, I have to say that I much prefer Deadwood to this kind of Western. Sensationalize the old West though it may, at least Deadwood is a phenomenal show. And the very flawed Tombstone is entertaining sheerly because it is one of the cheesiest films ever made (so, so nineties). - Sarah Richardson | Although we lampooned it a bit in class, I have to say that I much prefer Deadwood to this kind of Western.

| + | Taken in a vacuum, devoid of historical knowledge, comparison to other Wyatt Earp stories, or any other silly distractions, My Darling Clementine is great and entertaining, but going into the movie with the detailed character list we picked up in class, I was pretty disappointed that the story didn't stick closer to the truth. The history was much more complicated, but so much more interesting. It would have taken more than 90 minutes to tell the story as it happened, but we've seen Gone With the Wind, so we know America will pay to sit still for three hours and gobble up old stories. - JT Newcomb | ||
