Tombstone

And this week's Friday night movie has been....Tombstone!

Oh boy have I been wanting to see this for a long time. I enjoy westerns and this one has the promise of some of the snappiest dressed gunmen in any western. That and a sizable number of big names in the cast.

It's not a bad western. Oh sure it may be somewhat overlong, sure it may be meandering and sure some of the characters just come and go but I was impressed by the production values, the action sequences ("NO!!") and how both Val KIlmer and Kurt Russell make their mark - and how everyone else still manage to hold their own. It may not be historically accurate but it still has a lot of fun. There's some great lines herein too.
So in the end, it's not bad western and worthy entrant into the genre.
