Check out the new film RUNNING SCARED...


It contains a lengthy hommage to THE COWBOYS, where one of its characters, an abusive Russian mob thug is obsessed with the original film, but doesn't understand why...

SPOILERS (regading The Cowboys and not Running Scared)


John Wayne let himself take it in the back. By the end of the film, he better understands the meaning of Wayne's symbolic gesture. It's a very cool film because John Wayne is the (new) film's moral conscience. And it also features a kid exposed to guns and violence.

Running Scared is a terrific underrated movie and it's the reason why I'm interested in this movie.
