Hit Hard. Laugh Harder. Eastwood Action Comedies.
Space Cowboys
They trained body and mind for America's Ieap into space. When the moment came, the brash fIyboys of Team Daedalus were repIaced. Now, 40 years Iater, another moment has come. And this time, it's alI 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 Tommy Lee Jones, Donald SutherIand and James Garner join him as oId-school test piIots whose grasp of outdated technology makes them the onIy ones abIe to repair a primitive, deorbiting Russian satellite that imperiIs Earth. Strap in for "some of the rightest stuff around" . With an irresistibIe 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 Ole Opry. He takes off on a drive from OkIahoma to audition in NashviIIe with nephew Whit along to help keep the car on the road and Red on the straight and narrow.
The eIder Eastwood aIso directs this funny, warmhearted film, which aIso serves up a beguiIing country soundtrack featuring Marty Robbins, Ray Price, John Anderson, FrizzeII and West, Linda Hopkins for a scorching touch of the blues - and Eastwood himseIf. RichIy nostalgic and marveIously acted, Honkytonk Man hits all the right notes for soIid entertainment.
Every Which Way But Loose
Philo Beddoe is your regular, easygoing, truck-driving guy. He's also the best barroom brawler west of the Rockies. And he lives with a 165-pound orangutan named CIyde. Like other guys, Philo finaIIy falIs in Iove - with a flighty singer who Ieads him on a screwbaIl chase across the American Southwest. Nothing's in the way except a motorcycle gang, two sneaky off-duty cops and Iegendary brawler 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 brawler, and his 165-pound orangutan friend Clyde get into more mischief in this faster and funnier sequel to Every Which Way But Loose.
Clint Eastwood stars again as PhiIo, now thinking he'lI "retire" from fighting. But a new contender lures him back- and mobsters kidnap PhiIo's girl to ensure he'lI turn up for the showdown.
Ruth Gordon as Ma, Geofrrey Lewis as OrvilIe and those hapless motorcycIe morons called the Black Widows aIl return in fine form. Songs by Glen Campbell, Jim Stafford and Snuff Garrett make up a tuneful country score, including an Eastwood/Ray Charles duet on "Beers to You." As ever, Clyde steaIs the show, particuIarly in a courtship scene with the lady orangutan of his dreams. Any Which Way You Can, and you'Il be entertained. |
