Western Wednesdays Again: Mad Dog Morgan
This is only the second installment of Western Wednesdays Again and I believe I have already seen the messiest and strangest film that ever boasted a horse, a pistol, and a sunset: Mad Dog Morgan. It was a toss-up between … Continue reading

Western Wednesdays: ‘Rio Conchos’

Western Wednesdays: ‘Ride in the Whirlwind’
Once upon a time, Jack Nicholson was a screenwriter. He has six films to his credit, and I’m not entirely sure why he stopped. Perhaps it took too much time away from being one of Hollywood’s most notorious bad boys. … Continue reading
