"This now fits in with one of the best western movies that I have seen. And, for me, it all boiled down to one man, against all adds, standing tall. Gary Cooper stood very tall in this. Grace Kelly gave her beauty. It seems like director Fred Zinnemann created a classic with this film, which was written by Carl Foreman "

"What's the AFI project, you ask? For more information, or if you just enjoy my bemused ramblings, read here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2008/3/1/25756.a spx High Noon is on the following AFI lists: The Original Top 100 (#33)100 Most Heart-Pounding Movies (#20)100 Years...100 Heroes and Villains (Will Kane is the #5 hero)100 Greatest Film Songs (#25 - "High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin)")25 Film Scores (#10)100 Most Inspiring Movies (#27)The Revised Top 100 (#2710 Top 10's (#2 Western) Taking a break from more recent movie fare (and cutting into the string of message movies about Africa to which I alluded in my last entry), my weekly red envelope brought my next AFI film, High Noon. As this film is a western, and as westerns are my least favorite film genre, I had never seen it before. Now, when I say that westerns are my least favorite genre, repeatedly, it's not to say that I don't like westerns in general. There are some westerns that I do kind of l ... "

"I have a review of the new, "Ultimate Collector's Edition" DVD of High Noon (1952) up at PopMatters. Getting to review High Noon is one the upsides of the new film economy, although generally I'm not all that enthused by the practice of turning out periodic new, "special", "definitive", blah, blah editions, especially when there is no particular value or purpose to it (no compelling reason to revisit the film, no new meaningful material, etc.). There's also a certain symmetry to my reviewing this film for PM, as I'm sure I've cited it in no less than three other pieces I've written for the site. PopMatters home.The review.

AFI's 10 Top 10: Western

"The Western Top 10 is the toughest for me. As some of you may know, while I'm hardly Richard Slotkin or Jane Tompkins, I write, teach, and think about this genre on a regular basis, and, as a result, my views are not only fairly strong, but well-informed. And, where certain well regarded classics are concerned, they are also iconoclastic. This is probably nowhere more obvious than with The Searchers (1956), the film that tops the AFI list. This film does not resonate with me on any level. I have never found the ending credible. John Wayne does not portray Ethan Edwards with any of the complexity needed for his embrace of Debbie (Natalie Wood) to ring true after his 118 (or so) minutes of hard, racist ranting about Native Americans and his intent to kill her. I also find the photography and production design to be garish without purpose, and for all of its superficial sophistication about Native peoples, the talk of ritual, the use of indigenous language, it only serves to perpetuat ...

"I know star power isn’t what it used to be, but doesn’t it seem like we still give Al Pacino more credit than he’s worth? Despite his receiving an Oscar fifteen years ago, the guy hasn’t been a completely dependable actor in more than two decades. And yet a lot of people write about his upcoming movies as if they could maybe, possibly, hopefully be on par with the actor’s ’70s work. I’m not denying that he’s excellent in a few films of even the past ten years (particularly The Insider), but let’s not forget he was also in Gigli, so it isn’t like he’s making the same smart choices he was making as a younger man. And now here’s 88 Minutes, another movie that attempts to give us a thrilling plot in real time, a la 24. But despite such a gimmick working with old films like High Noon and

"I have a penchant for black and white films. I also have a penchant for old films that challenged the audiences of the day and threw convention to the wind. This is one of those films. Reading the synopsis of the film, you'd never think something like this could get made - but it did...and the world (and films in general) are the better because of it. By the way, Grace Kelly was one smokin' hottie! I can see why this is considered one of the best American films ever made according to AFI. "

"Robert Mitchum’s son Christopher Mitchum and two partners acquired remake rights to High Noon at AFM. The team is on the hunt f0r a director and a star to make the remake for about $20 million. A poster and a synopsis for a sequel to George Romero’s Diary of the Dead were unveiled at AFM, but Romero claims there’s not yet a deal to make the film. “I don’t have an idea yet, but if the idea and the money can meet somewhere in the middle, it’s possible.” For Craig Kennedy, Chop Shop is “a nicely rendered slice of life at the fringes of civilization with a near documentary feel and a series of fascinating observances.” Short reviews of Honeydripper, Blind Mountain and 1000 Journals at the same link. Scott Foundas had a long profile of Robert Redford, the director of AFI’s opening n "
