http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2494362/This is really good in terms of keeping the dialogue non-pretentuous, entertaining and flowing with the characters all at the same time. I mean it's really good, very realistic for a movie Western, I haven't seen anything like it a long time. Unfortunately for 2/3 of the movie that's basically all that happens... I mean, it's not, it just feels that way cause of the ending devoid of any antagonist worth mentioning, any finale, or any meaning. I guess it's like the woman said: the OW wasn't a tough place because of Indians, wild beasts or the weather - but because of idiots. Still, it's worth a 7/10.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109408/Roger Corman-produced TV Western (with Native Americans). If you watch Ws you've seen it all before. It starts promisingly though. 4/10

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067750/Late delivery from Hathaway and Peck: sometimes rough sometimes cutesy and mostly familiar subpar W. 5.5/10

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042229/Sam Fuller's second film: (apparently) a fictionalized tale of James Reavis' unsuccessful attempt to claim the whole territory of Arizona through forgery and deceit, starring Vincent Price, Vladimir Sokoloff and a few other semi-known faces of the industry system. A W without gunshots, hence not really a W. A watchable and rather suave flick, directed in a fairly typical Fulleresque (economical) way. Good performances. 7/10

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128442/So this movie has sort of a connection with the MWNN character: at some point in the movie Damon and Norton are preparing a poker scheme but Damon decides not to follow Norton's plan and leaves - only to return later in the nick of time and bail him out. So, he asks Norton how did he know he'll come, and Norton replies (paraphrase): ''Of course I knew you'd come - Clint Eastwood - TMWNN - always sticks out for his buddy!''Doesn't make much sense, does it?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2635006/A recent Black-stern I watched: it's psychology (drama) driven, pretty lean on story and rather slow paced - with little action. On the bright side: it isn't crown pleasing or foreseeable from the moment go - to a certain degree, of course. No beauty here also, in any form, but, as I say, maybe some of the interesting characters might do it for ya. 5/10

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2650978/Austrian-German W. 2014 must have been the if-you-don't-do-a-W-now-chances-are-you-never-will year. I'll try to watch it tomorrow. Don't have any expectations.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096295/A cocktail of cliches and uninspired scripting, with lots of seen-him-before faces. John Guillermin's last movie is a nothing to write home about small TV Western, that looks like made for making some quick bucks in the second half of the 80s, but that surprisingly has its share of bloody and borderline creepy moments. The actors were all OK, even Kris Kristofferson whom I never could digest. Scott Wilson, who I always thought had one of those secondary creepy faces that should always play the second baddy from the left that gets snaky in the end of the movie, goes over the top a couple of times but is enjoyable even with such an unworthy unbalanced character. The plot is a joke. John Quade, Leon Rippy, David Huddleston,... You know them, right?  (a despite it all) 5.5/10 (that can be seen once)
