As I’ve said before, my dad watched a lot of westerns (U.N.D.E.R.S.T.A.T.E.M.E.N.T.), and while I was growing up, I watched most of them with him. Even though I was (and am) 110 percent girly girl, I loved kicking back and getting lost in a western every bit as much as I loved watching One Life to Live with my mom during the afternoon (and that was a lot of love, truth be told).
So, needless to say, I’ve been waiting anxiously for Appaloosa for quite a while. I’m not sure if my beloved husband realizes it or not, but he gets to take me out to dinner and a movie tomorrow night. He can choose the restaurant. The movie’s been chosen.
Appaloosa is the movie adaptation of Robert B. Parker’s novel. It boasts an unbelievable all-star cast including Jeremy Irons, Ed Harris, Viggo Mortensen, and Renée Zellweger.
Movie Synopsis From IMDB.com: Two friends hired to police a small town that is suffering under the rule of a rancher find their job complicated by the arrival of a young widow.
This western’s getting great reviews and I’m just hours away from loving every dusty second of it myself. On a full stomach.
