Western

• Shanghai Noon directed by Tom Dey (2000)

  [7/10]

  "Shanghai Noon offers slightly better than usual Jackie Chan dialog, typical improvizational martial arts, and fun but merely average stunts (at least for Jackie)."

• Silverado directed by Lawrence Kasdan (1985)

  [9/10]

  "Westerns and comedies don't get much better than Silverado. You get good crisp writing, witty remarks, great characters, and fun rough-and-tumble, .45-blasting action."

• Three Amigos directed by John Landis (1986)

  [4/10]

  "With fondness, I anticipated watching the Three Amigos on DVD. Some of the jokes still made me laugh, but the plot didn't have enough interesting material to really make me want to watch the movie over and over."

• Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, The directed by Tommy Lee Jones (2005)

  [4/10]

  "Three Burials tries to make big symbolic and political statements but just fails to have the power to follow through with these intentions."

  Average score: 6.00
