In spite of the more-than-pedestrian B-title, this minor-A western from Universal is more of a character study of three people than it is a run-of-the-mill western. It has only a couple of gunshots and no killings and no blood-letting, and is ideally suited for the laconic, take-it-easy and laid-back nature of the always-great Joel McCrea as Del "Rock" Rockwell. Here, he is a man wise to the nature of women and horses, attemptiing to establish a homestead with the aid of his adopted-son Til (Race Gentry). They join neighboring rancher Alida Spain (Mari Blanchard) in her quest to capture a wild black stallion (Outlaw)…..

1949, Santa Rosa, California. A laconic, chain-smoking barber with fallen arches tells a story of a man trying to escape a humdrum life. It's a tale of suspected adultery, blackmail, foul play, death, Sacramento city slickers, racial slurs, invented war heroics, shaved legs, a gamine piano player, aliens, and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Ed Crane cuts hair in his in-law's shop; his wife drinks and may be having an affair with her boss, Big Dave, who has $10,000 to invest in a second department store. Ed gets wind of a chance to make money in dry cleaning. Blackmail and investment are his opportunity to be more than a man no one notices. Settle in the chair and listen.

The Good Shepherd (2006) Movies

Posted by TinyBear at April 21, 2014

Laconic and self-contained, Edward Wilson heads CIA covert operations during the Bay of Pigs. The agency suspects that Castro was tipped, so Wilson looks for the leak. As he investigates, he recalls, in a series of flashbacks, his father's death, student days at Yale (poetry; Skull and Bones), recruitment into the fledgling OSS, truncated affairs, a shotgun marriage, cutting his teeth on spy craft in London, distance from his son, the emergence of the Cold War, and relationships with agency, British, and Soviet counterparts. We watch his idealism give way to something else: disclosing the nature of that something else is at the heart of the film's narration as he closes in on the leak.

John Lee Hooker Jr. - Cold As Ice (2006) Music

Posted by jhoer10 at Oct. 21, 2010

This son of the legendary Mississippi blues giant doesn't have his father's aura of brooding mystery, raw baritone voice, or choogling guitar style, yet he is an original nevertheless. On the follow-up to his 2004 Grammy-nominated Blues with a Vengeance, the laconic singer and lyricist mixes straight-up Chicago blues and smooth Southern soul with flourishes of funk and contemporary R&B. He's not an outright modernist; the traditional rhythms and horn charts see to that. Nonetheless, in the medley "Four Hours Straight/Blues Man" and "Got to Be Me," Hooker's nearly rapping. And references to text messaging and the couplet "her sexual modus operandi was that of a freak / it was so addictive it would make you tweak" could work for OutKast. Of course, there are nods to his father, like the touching reminiscence "Do Daddy (Requiem for John Lee Hooker)" and a lackluster reading of his "In the Mood." But the junior Hooker seems determined to make a name for himself, rather than merely capitalize on Dad's. –Ted Drozdowski
