Super fast service! The movie arrived in excellent condition and plays well. If you're not familiar with this title, you really have to consider buying a copy. Never cared for Matt Damon until I saw this. AND the movie is really much better than the book ...

I loved this movie. It's beautiful written, acted and shot. The scenes are slow-paced, but for strength of character, it doesn't get any better than this. If you're expecting Unforgiven, this isn't it. This is a small drama about a young boy with ...

This is an excellent, epic western saga about two Texans who wind up in Mexico and all the trials and tribulations they go through, most of which are fascinating. I've watched this film several times and it gets better and better with each viewing. The ...

I think this is a good film as I explain below. Others on this review area disagree. I can only attribute the many negative reviews for this film to a few possibilities: The movie is certainly not as 'complete' as the book. As with any ...

This book shows McCArthy at his descriptive best- his writing is almost lyrical. A beautifully written tale of modern cowboy life, he knows what he is writing about as if he did it all himself. You must read this novel as the first part of the trilogy of ...

Matt Damon plays a convincing role ...

I've read several reviews for this movie that were less than flattering. But, in all fairness, this is a very good movie. Maybe it's not as complete as the book. But, what movie is? The actors are all convincing in the roles they play. The story is very ...

I don't think I will ever understand the disappointing backlash against this film. What I witnessed was not your typical "western" film full of passionate love and implausible events. Instead, what I saw was beautifully captured images, powerful acting ...

I loved this movie and found it to be moving, romantic and beautiful. Matt Damon is superb and does a great job as always. Penelope Cruz is stunning and I adore her in this. I don't understand the negative reviews. I had no trouble understanding it or ...
by Monica Gutierrez on March 20, 2002
I really liked All the Pretty Horses. The way that Coramac McCarthy takes you on this adventure with comedy, and falling in love with the daughter that forbidden love. The way that McCarhty takes you on this rugged and adventure and lets you in on this ...
