GO SEE APPALOOSA THIS WEEKEND
After I returned from Iraq a little over a year ago my wife and I celebrated with a vacation to Mexico. While I was waiting in the airport I stopped by a book store to pick up something to read on the plane. The book that caught my eye was Appaloosa by Robert Parker. It turned out to be a great choice. I devoured the book in no time flat. In fact, I enjoyed the book so much that I immediately bought the sequel, Resolution, when it was released.
Consequently, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Appaloosa has been made into a movie and is being released nationwide this Friday. Early reviews say that the movie follows the book very closely, which is good.
If you like a good western then this movie is a must see. Western themed movies are an iconic slice of Americana. Robert Duvall once said that Westerns were America’s unique contribution to film and literature. He said that no ones does Shakespeare like the British and no one does westerns like America. So, do your patriotic duty and see this movie.
