The first time a few parts were a little scarey but now it's more entertaining. I love Bette. |

Genre: Western
Director: Charles Haid
Cast: Ed Harris, Amy Madigan, Henry Thomas, Robin Tunney, Norbert Weisser, G.D. Spradlin, Bob L. Harris, Rusty Musselman, Lynn Wanlass, Jerry Wills
The often-filmed Zane Grey tale is updated in this good made-for-TV film, which still maintains the spirit of the book. Set in the late 1800s, Jane (Amy Madigan) defies a church-dictated marriage, which causes retribution. Jim Lassiter (Ed Harris), with revenge on his mind, comes to the aid of Jane. Perhaps the best of the films of this story.

Director: John Landis
Cast: Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Martin Short, Patrice Martinez, Alfonso Arau, Tony Plana, Joe Mantegna, Phil Hartman, Jon Lovitz, Philip Gordon, Fred Asparagus, Santos Morales, Tino Insana, Kai Wulff, Norbert Weisser
This film is a parody of "The Magnificent Seven," minus four of the heroes. Three silent-screen cowboys–Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase), Lucky Day (Steve Martin), and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short)–have been fired from the studio when they receive a message from Carmen (Patrice Martinez) begging them to save her Mexican town. They think that Carmen is paying them to perform their singing routine in a show, but she really wants them to rid her town of marauding El Guapo (Alfonso Arau) who is terrorizing her friends and neighbors. They do head south of the border and arrive in Carmen's town and then learn that Carmen has been kidnapped by El Guapo. What do they do? They perform acts of heroism–just like they have done on the screen–and save the town.
