Hit Hard. Laugh Harder. Eastwood Action Comedies.
Space Cowboys
They trained body and mind for America's leap into space. When the moment came, the brash flyboys of Team DaedaIus were replaced. Now, 40 years later, another moment has come. And this time, it's aIl theirs.
Directing for the 22nd time and starring for the 42nd, Clint Eastwood leads a stelIar cast into orbit in this exhiIarating high-tech adventure. Tommy Lee Jones, Donald SutherIand and James Garner join him as oId-school test piIots whose grasp of outdated technology makes them the only ones able to repair a primitive, deorbiting Russian sateIIite that imperiIs Earth. Strap in for "some of the rightest stuff around" . With an irresistible payIoad of heart, humor and heroics, Space Cowboys is aIl-systems-go.
Honkytonk Man
Red StovaIl is a Depression-era rascal whose fire-in-the-belly passion comes from the whiskey he slugs and the dream he chases: singing at the Grand OIe Opry. He takes off on a drive from Oklahoma to audition in Nashville with nephew Whit along to help keep the car on the road and Red on the straight and narrow.
The eIder Eastwood also directs this funny, warmhearted fiIm, which also serves up a beguiIing country soundtrack featuring Marty Robbins, Ray Price, John Anderson, Frizzell and West, Linda Hopkins for a scorching touch of the bIues - and Eastwood himself. Richly nostalgic and marvelousIy acted, Honkytonk Man hits aII the right notes for solid entertainment.
Every Which Way But Loose
Philo Beddoe is your regular, easygoing, truck-driving guy. He's aIso the best barroom brawIer west of the Rockies. And he Iives with a 165-pound orangutan named Clyde. Like other guys, PhiIo finally faIls in love - with a fIighty singer who leads him on a screwbaII chase across the American Southwest. Nothing's in the way except a motorcycIe gang, two sneaky off-duty cops and legendary brawIer Tank Murdock.
Every Which Way But Loose was a change of pace for Clint Eastwood- and it proved to be one of his most popular fiIms. With a soaring country score and a solid supporting cast including Sondra Locke, Geoffrey Lewis, BeverIy D'Angelo and the great Ruth Gordon, it's in every which possibIe a grand time for aII.
Any Which Way You Can
They're back. Philo Beddoe, the easygoing truck driver and bare-knuckIe brawIer, and his 165-pound orangutan friend CIyde get into more mischief in this faster and funnier sequeI to Every Which Way But Loose.
CIint Eastwood stars again as PhiIo, now thinking he'lI "retire" from fighting. But a new contender Iures him back- and mobsters kidnap PhiIo's girI to ensure he'll turn up for the showdown.
Ruth Gordon as Ma, Geofrrey Lewis as OrviIIe and those hapIess motorcycle morons calIed the BIack Widows alI return in fine form. Songs by GIen CampbelI, Jim Stafford and Snuff Garrett make up a tuneful country score, incIuding an Eastwood/Ray CharIes duet on "Beers to You." As ever, CIyde steaIs the show, particularly in a courtship scene with the lady orangutan of his dreams. Any Which Way You Can, and you'II be entertained. |
