LAST OF THE DOGMEN
1995 Stars: Tom Berenger And Barbara Hershey

This is an excellent movie. Just the right amount of action, comedy and romance. Berenger does a fantasic job.
Lewis Gates(Berenger) is a bounty hunter, and is hired by the local sheriff to track down three convicts in the Oxbow region of the Rockies. Their trail leads him to a spot about twenty miles into the Oxbow where he finds signs of a struggle, a lot of blood, but no bodies, only an arrow shaft. Gates takes the arrow to Dr. Lillian Sloan (Hershey), an expert in Native American Culture.

At first she doesn't believe Gates because the arrow belongs to a tribe of Cheyenne known as Dogmen. The soldiers called them Horse Soldiers.

Gates says he's going back into the Oxbow but needs someone who speaks Cheyenne to go with him, so the good doctor decides to go along. This tribe had been non- existent for over a hundred years. It was crazy to think that there might be any of them still alive in this day and age.
What they find in the Oxbow may be the answer to Doctor Sloan's dreams and the answers to Gates nightmares. But it's a race against time if they are to save what's left of the Dogmen from the modern world.
This is also the best performance given by Barbara Hershey in a long time. This is a must see movie.



1971
This movie stars; Clint Eastwood, Robert Duvall, John Saxon, Don Stroud, Stella Garcia and James Wainwright
This takes place in New Mexico at the turn of the century. Eastwood said, "There have always been westerns and there will always be westerns," and Joe Kidd is one of the best. Duvall comes to a small town in New Mexico to hire Joe as a guide supposedly for hunting. He has with him a sharp shooter, Wainwright and a gunman, Stroud but what they are really after is two-legged prey, a mexican hero played by John Saxon.

This is a good movie with plenty of action and a slam-bang finale which has a locomotive roaring through a saloon to capture the bad guys.



1985 This movie stars; Kevin Kline, Danny Glover, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, Jeff Goldblum, Rosanna Arquette, Brian Dennehy and Linda Hunt

This larger than life story is about four unlikly cowboys who band together to defeat a corrupt frontier sheriff and his vicious posse. Kevin Costner plays Scott Glenn's hell-raising little brother. It starts off with Kevin Kline clad only in his underwear. It seems someone stole not only his horse but his guns, saddle, hat and all his clothes.
If you like westerns, I'm sure you've already seen this one. In the event you missed this, check it out. This is one of the best westerns to come out in a long time.



1984 Stars; Kirk Douglas and James Coburn

This is about an aging gunfighter named Handsome Harry Holland (Douglas), who winds up in a lot of trouble. He's been unjustly accused of killing a corrupt sheriff in a corrupt town, but he's not going to jail. Instead, he takes a young lady hostage, (Alexandra Bastedo) who is in town doing a play, and holds up in the hotel. The town deputy knows an ex-lawman Sam Starret (Coburn), that is probably the only person around that will go up against Handsome Harry. What the townspeople don't know is that Starret has become a drunk. The deputy rides to a small border town where Starret is passed out in the back room of the saloon, kidnaps him, straps him to a cot on the back of a horse and drags him back to face Handsome Harry.

1976 Stars; George Segal and Goldie Hawn
The Dirtwater Fox (Segal), is a slick gambler who has stolen $40,000 from a group of outlaws and he wants very much to keep it. His horses name is Blackjack. (Watch the horse, he makes the movie). He takes his new fortune to San Francisco's Barbary Coast where he meets The Duchess (Hawn). The Duchess is a saloon hall singer who wants more than anything else to be a Lady.
When these two get together the laughs begin.



1977 Stars; Charles Bronson and Will Sampson.
Co-Stars; Kim Novak, Jack Warden, Clint Walker, Stuart Whitman and Slim Pickens

This is about the famous "Wild Bill Hickok" (Bronson) and "Crazy Horse" (Sampson), one of the greatest Sioux Chief's.
