Tonight, I watched “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” (1966) with the kids. A western movie, but “made in Italy” though shot in Spain with American stars; a road movie that takes you through the desert; a buddy movie and antagonistic movie together, with a pair extended to a trio; a treasure chase, a gangster movie, a war movie, and a social ( Read more... )
