My neighbor- we shall call him "The Outdoorsman" has generously lent me some movies. Some Westerns. I haven't seen many westerns in my days, so I am totally willing to indulge in a new genre.
The Outdoorsman brought me Lonesome Dove and Open Range.
I started with Open Range, it was alright. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous and it is well acted. I feel that there is some personality missing from the movie though.
I began Lonesome Dove last night and I'm halfway through. So far this is a much better movie even though it is about 10 years older than Open Range. This really shouldn't surprise me most new movies are sub-par in my book.
All in all I'm enjoying the westerns. They are pleasant in their own quiet way. Lots of beautiful landscapes, crusty old cowboys, and plenty of whiskey.
They are the perfect movie to knit to. They remind me of the days when friends and family would gather round the radio in the evenings.

If you would like some more Westerns to knit to, let me know. We have a bunch. I can not attest to the entertainment value myself since I have not seen most of them, but the hubby likes them.
