This film raised an interesting question about the mysterious disappearance and reappearance of a steamboat back in 1882, a true story. I first presented this post in 2020. Well, not exactly, but we do have Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford co-starring in the 2011...

This excellent film worked on many levels. I first presented this post in 2020. The 1992 film, Thunderheart, has been described as a “contemporary western mystery,” but it is so much more than that. It is “loosely based” on what is known as the Wounded Knee incident,...

I’ve watched this goofy film one more time since this post first ran in 2016, and I still think it’s a hoot—which puts me in a vast minority. I may be the only person on the planet who found the 1999 “steampunk western action comedy” film, Wild Wild West, a “pleasure”...
