Praise Be

I may read Pulp Fiction That's Damned Hard to Beat a few more times and then frame it. Damn nice of Mr. Wallace.

Superman

All My Earps

I'm at Criminal Element with All My Earps: The Many Film Faces of Wyatt Earp.

I'm Ready for the Showdown!

I'm certain I'm going to acquire some criticism for my personal takes on 1939's Frontier Marshal and, especially, John Ford's My Darling Clementine. Plus my positive reviews on widely maligned films Doc starring Stacy Keach and Blake Edward's Sunset. What am I talking about? Over here, dear friends, at Criminal Element with All My Earps: The Many Film Faces of Wyatt Earp.

Miles to Go

Gideon Miles is getting some serious love this week. First, it's great to have Cullen Gallagher back from, well, wherever great reviewers go to take a much deserved break. He has chosen to spotlight Miles to Little Ridge which was Heath Lowrance's first take on this U.S. Marshal. And Chris Leek takes a look at Heath's current Miles adventure, The Axeman of Storyville, over at his terrific blog, Nevada Roadkill.

Thank you, both.

And for fans of my Cash & Miles series, I have several new tales of my Western antiheroes in the soon to be released, Further Adventures of Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles. Hope to have it out in the next few months.

Women in Westerns

I'm at Criminal Element with my fifteen picks for strong performances by women in Westerns. Who are some of your favorites? Stop over and let me know.
