Very well executed
Strong and Moving!
Admirable film.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
View MoreAH HA HA HA HA.you need to watch this. it is hilariously bad (errmm i mean exceptional). oh my gosh the script writer was so wrong, i mean, listen to some of the things that come out of these kids mouths. so so so so good. like listen to this : "uncle gus told me not to touch it, sammie told me not to touch it, but i touched it, can we blow it". and "3 miles, that'll take us all day and half the night". as well as, wait i would not want to spoil it. i would recommend: shark boy and lava girl, if you liked this movie. but who wouldn't right. the soundtrack is also amazing. right here, here and now ow. there's only one thing left to do. right here here and now ow.
View MoreThis is pretty much the greatest work of art ever committed to cinema. Think otherwise, and I will fight you. I sh** you not, I will throw down RIGHT now....Okay, okay, I'm sorry. That wasn't called for. I mean, I haven't been emotionally moved by a movie about time travel like this since I last saw The Notebook on mushrooms (that was about time travel, right?). Or maybe I'm just confusing The Notebook with the film version of A Separate Peace (which was fantastic, by the way. Particularly the scene with the tree limb being "jounced").Anyways, more to the point, Taylor Root is pretty much the BEST actor ever. His sheer ability to identify with the complexity of the human condition transcends him beyond the other acting greats of our era such as Oedipus, Steven Seagal, Hillary Duff, Eminem and Keanu Reeves.And, don't tell anyone this, but..... I know Taylor Root. Like, he and I went to high school together. There was this one time, in 10th grade, where this colostomy bag named Brian Condon (we call him Sh**face, and rightfully so) was like, "Taylor, now listen, I don't appreciate you coming over to my boathouse and mocking my small dog that sort of looks like an enormous rat, but still is RIDICULOUSLY cute." Then, out of nowhere, Taylor just busts out an ATV that was actually used in the making of Durango Kids and just smacks Brian in the a** RIDICULOUSLY hard. Brian was in a ridiculous amount of pain. He looked like this, but only worse and with an ATV hitting him in the a**: http://community.webshots.com/photo/308932448/362577779MxLDhj Moral of the story being, John Brian Condon is a little bitch and should really not talk so much sh**, particularly in regards to the Durango Kid.
View MoreHey, I like the idea of time-travelling back to earlier times. Some of my most favourite movies have been time-travel ones. Like "The Time Machine, Terminator, TimeCOP and such. I've liked reruns of "TimeTunnel" too.It's okay (and actually pretty cool) to have kids doing this stuff, but maybe hype it up a bit. Some parts were a little slow. They could have left out the part with the guy throwing fairy dust around cause it didn't add anything to the movie. The parts on the train were a little kooky, but that sure was a neat train eh. It was really wild having ATVs in the old west.I was about 15 when I first saw this movie and I just happened to see it again recently on Bell. I was surprised I still enjoyed it. And (even more amazing) my girlfriend watched it with me. She usually shies away from kid movies.I think the boys and girls acting in this movie were better than most of the kids who make this type of stuff.There are some other movies like this that were decent also like "Kid in King Arthur's Court and Kid in Aladdin's Palace. So maybe if you find you like this movie you should check those out too.
View MoreThis movie is a wonderful fun film that showcases the talents of the young actors in the film. It has a wonderful script and the action sequences are chilling. Durango Kids reminds me of all my adventures as a child.
