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.

Coast where he meets The Duchess (Hawn). The Duchess is a saloon
