I enjoyed this movie. I really liked the way they made the fire, and four people standing in the fire, so Jesus was with the three. The King is forced to throw them in when some of his priests trick him to declare a law thag all must bo to the statue of the king. Luckily God was able to intervene.
This is an excellent Clint Eastwood directed, produced and starred in movie. Mike Milo (Eastwood) is sent by his old boss, Howard Polk (Dwight Yoakam) to Mexico to retrieve his son. He has legal issues and cannot go. He finds the mother and talks to the boy's mother Leta (Fernanda Urrejola) who says if he can find the boy, he is free to take him. He finds him Rafo (Eduardo Minett) at the cock fight. He shows very little respect, but Milo is able to talk to him nd they go to his house to get his stuff, where the mother says he cannot go, but they go any way. from this point they are on the run and have many adventures traveling. The truck is stolen, and the travel back country with another car. The Federales are after them as well, but say they were mistaken, Milo is not a drug runner. They end up in a back country town with their car giving out again. In the town Milo teaches Rafo about horse riding. Milo had been a rodeo star.
I rally like the character Milo, and the new life he finds with Marta (Natalia Traven) and her grandchildren. Rafo decides to go with his father and Milo takes him to the border whee they meet him. A good study of the effects of getting older and how to break down barriers. Macho is the name of Rafo's rooster. Rafo leaves the rooster with Milo. Both Rafo and Milo find new lives and redemption.
We watched this for family movie night, and Sheri and I both agree we recall it being much better than what it was this time around. Ma (Ruth Gordon) comes off as being obnoxious rather than funny. In fact that is the problem with the movie, they are trying a bit too hard to be funny. However Phillo Beddoe (Clint Eastwood), and the chimpanzee and the interaction with the Cholla (John Quade) and the Black Widows really are funny. Lynn Halsey Taylor (Sondra Locke) also does very well. In this movie the brother, Orville (Geoffrey Lewis) has a girlfriend, Echo (Beverly D'Angelo) and their relationship is cute.
An enjoyable movie about street fighting as a profession. The other fighter is Tank Murdock (Walter Barnes) and the fight scenes are well done.
Any Which Way You Can is the sequel to Every Which Way But Loose. It has basically the same cast. Philo Beddoe (Clint Eastwood) is set to retire, but agrees to one more fight due to the large pay out. But then he decides to not do the fight, and the mob bosses who set up up kidnap his girlfriend. In the end the two fighters go at it for their own gratification. Chimpanzee has a very large part. Lot of nonsense about getting him a mate. Glen Campbell has cameo singing the title song. Eastwood even resolves his issues with Cholla (John Quade) and the Black Widows.
A made for tv movie in which a school administrator, Cal Peterson (Gerald McRaney) comes to town to save the school from financial ruin, and he has closed music department when given this task in the past. He brings his daughter, Fern (Alison Pill) and he meets the music teacher, Lily Waite (Naomi Judd) and they start to fall in love. They move in with his father, Jake Peterson (Andy Griffith). Of course the inevitable happens, music department scheduled for deletion. But the secret is they go ahead with the concert, and Fern sings a solo. With donations from towns people and associates of Lily the school music program is saved, for at least a couple years, and Cal and his daughter are staying.
Entertaining TV movie.
70s Greatest Hits: Original Artists, Original Recordings, BMG Music, 2002.
I am a child of the 70s, and love 70s music. THis has a wide selection of songs, but they never repeat an artist. Included are Gladys Knight and the Pips, Hall & Oates, Tony Orlando and Dawn and many more. Songs include "Put our Hand in the Hand," "Coconut," "(Last Night) I Didn't Get to Sleep at All" and "Candida." Lots of fine songs but I don't things this C.D. found my favorites.
This movie is Clint Eastwood directed. He also plays Mitchell Gant, pilot who also speaks Russian. Firefox is a new MIG fighter which also has stealth capabilities and armaments fire through thought, in Russian. People who help Gant are Kenneth Aubrey (Freddie Jones) with intelligence; Pavel Upenskoy (Warren Clarke) who is on the ground in Russia; and scientist Natalia (Demitra Arliss), Peyotr Baranovich (Nigel Hawthorne) and Semelovsky (Ronald Lacey).
I really enjoyed this movie, and remember enjoying it many years ago. Very good spy action and political intrigue. Clint Eastwood does very well as the pilot with PTSD from being a POW in Viet Nam.
