The Good Old Boys

I actually bought this for my husband to read, but found I enjoyed it almost as much as he did. He (my husband) is a great fan of good westerns, and liked this book so well, he had me order the vhs tape of the same name.

Tommy Lee Had Me at "Cow-ology"

Who could resist a movie that opens with a salty old cowpoke complaining to his horse, "Biscuit", that he's weary of "cow-ology"? That short monologue sets the tone for a film that is much like its main character: simple and appealing. Having grown up in West Texas, I can recall characters exactly like those portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones and Sam Shepherd. It's apparent that GOOD OLD BOYS was directed (by Jones) with genuine affection for the material. Jones, along with Sam Shepherd and Sissy Spacek are wonderful. But the supporting players are just as great, including a youngster by the name of Matt Damon.

If anyone at TNT reads this, please release a DVD version of GOOD OLD BOYS and include a commentary by its director, Mr.Jones and his fine cast.

An Unrecognized Classic.

This is simply a great movie....a classic that has gone unnoticed. Why isn't this on DVD?
