Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Bardlerx Strictly average movie

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

lawyerbrat Did I miss something....because the review by NormaDesmond69 must be about a different picture....The main problem here....as is so often the case with 'indie' movies, is that the key creative responsibilities such as producing, writing, directing and playing the lead get filled by one person, the one who had the 'vision' for the movie.... in this scenario the ability for real objectivity becomes lost as that individual is far too close to the project.... the reality with this film is that the story was not strong to begin with and judging from the credits, there appears to be no one adding perspective or any objective input... I would suggest the picture was in trouble before principal photography even begun.Clearly though, James Michael Bobby was the absolute saving grace in what would have been an otherwise dire and unwatchable movie. Contrary to other views, I would argue that he totally pulled his weight and did exactly what his character was supposed to do, be menacing, vulnerable and the catalyst for action at a turning/breaking point in a deeply dull and empty marriage (frankly I would have turned gay had I been married to that dreary, needy woman)...I don't agree with anyone who thought that Gregory Christian delivered anything more than a lack lustre energy-less performance in a highly confusing, self-indulgent, yet ultimately predictable storyline for the genre.In Sunset Boulevard, the 'real' Norma Desmond said, "We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!" Sadly in this case NormaDesmond69 seems to have missed the irony that in 'Cowboy Junction' they had neither !

indieflickhick This movie was a breath of fresh air and was not like most of the trite and fluffy "boy meets boy" movies that saturate the gay movie genre. Sure, it's kind of erotic and has the obligatory eye-candy but what really struck me about it was the dynamics between the characters of the husband and wife. I was in a relationship very similar to theirs and I appreciated the jokes that lightened their sad story. I thought those two did an awesome job and, being a performer myself, I know how hard it is to play material that is so layered like that. At times, it felt like a dark David Lynch flick and then it switched gears into classic Hollywood melodrama. Either way, it worked and buying the video was definitely worth it. Plus, it's got so many classic one-liners that it's very tongue-in-cheek kind of like "Desperate Housewives" is. My friends and I have already set up a viewing party!

arkany I caught this movie at Laemmle Sunset 5 for a limited screening. Cowboy Junction was an intriguing piece of independent film making. I personally enjoyed the fact if felt like a play. I also found the moments of humor worked really well. I've seen a decent amount of indie films and this movie ain't bad for a first time. There were quite a few allusions to other cinema, which I didn't get, but the friend I went with did.I did have some issues with it, however. I didn't think the Cowboy's accent worked and I thought the end music was too dark. I mean, it ends on a happy note, depending on your perspective. That's just me.I read some of these negative reviews and I just thought I'd put in my 2 cents. I don't really comment on these things, so sue me.

charlie-x I also saw this movie at a film festival in Philadelphia. I knew it was going to be bad when the presenter of the film described it as a "guilty pleasure." To me, a guilty pleasure is some awful movie you sit through just because one of the performers is hot. And I guess that's what happened here, except I didn't even really find the cowboy to be that hot with his fake southern accent. I think both he and the actress who played the wife are decent actors, but any actor, good or bad, would choke on the lines these poor actors were given... I wanted to walk out but had made the mistake of sitting in the middle of the row, and so to be polite to my neighbors, I sat through it all. As if the directing, writing, acting, music, sets, lighting, and cinematography all were not bad enough, this film actually adds insult to injury by introducing an unnecessary plot detail in the final moments that makes the already flimsy plot absolutely incomprehensible. Best I can say about this is that if you're in the mood for a stunningly amateur movie, this could be fun to mock, if you're not trapped in a darkened theater where you're expected to be respectful.
