Support Your Local Sherriff

G 1962 1hr 32min.

So it has been a while since I have been on. Character actor Henry Morgan passed away yesterday, so I am renewing my tradition and watching a movie in which he starred in his memory. So I am watching Support Your Local Sherriff, one of the great western comedies ever made. Jack Elam and James Garner are especially memorable as is Joan Hackett. If you have never seen this or the follow-up Support You Local Gunfighter, then you need to invest the time in these underrated classics. 3.5 stars out of 5.

Red Riding Hood

PG-13 2011 2hr. 00min.

Don't ask me why, but I gave this movie a shot. I think I laughed out loud 3 or 4 times, but the problem is that this wasn't supposed to be a funny movie. The action is missing, the CGI werewolf is circa 1992 and the acting was atrocious. The direction was so bad that every plot line, every twist was so badly telegraphed that couldn't hold the suspense. I couldn't help but think that Goldilocks and the 3 Bears must be coming next from the braintrust behind this film. Avoid it like the plague. 1 out of 5 stars.
