| | This was great | Kenny 10/01/2009 | | I loved this movie. I am a country boy that knows how it is to be in a big city. I am from the area that he was suppose to be from and that is how we are here. We can pick on each other but if some one else does we come together and we take care of them. As a matter of fact yes almost all of us good old boys carry guns. Most know how to shoot bows and a few do know how to throw knives and axes. We was raised that we take care of each other and take care of our own problems. We don't care about the police because most of them don't know there but from a hole in the ground. I think he played a great country boy and the movie had all in it that it needed. |
| | You forgot one movie | 09/18/2009 | | Next of Kin is also one my favorites. It really does show how close country families really are. By the way there is one movie some one forgot to post. Return of the Rebels with Patrick, Barbara Eden, Jamie Farr and other great stars. Patrick and his gang go up against an older generation of bikers. Guess who wins. |

 Robin Hood 1991 TV, 116 min.
Genre: Adventure / Action / Drama / Romance
Director: John Irvin
Cast: Patrick Bergin, Uma Thurman, Jeroen Krabbe, Jurgen Prochnow, Edward Fox, Owen Teale, Jeff Nuttal, David Morrissey, Alex Norton, Danny Webb, Conrad Asquith, Barry Stanton, Phelim McDermott, Carolyn Backhouse, Caspar De La Mare
This made-for-TV retelling of the classic tale is a good one– about as good as the other 1991 effort starring Kevin Costner. It stays close to historical accuracy in the tale of Robin Hood (Patrick Bergin) and his group of thieves who rob the rich and give to the poor. But, the film takes interesting liberties with some of the characters–including Uma Thurman's portrayal of Maid Marian as Marian is turned from the helpless maiden in distress into a bratty young woman. Good "mood" photography.
