The Cowboy Way
by Gregg Champion
from Universal Studios
Somebody in Hollywood thought there was some fish-out-of-water potential in this teaming of wild man Woody Harrelson and slow-burning Kiefer Sutherland as a pair of New Mexico cowboys who go to New York to tame the wild, wild, uh ... East. Well, they were mistaken, because this 1994 action-comedy is little more than a tiresome reworking of Crocodile Dundee. Woody and Kiefer head for the Big Apple to rescue the illegal-immigrant daughter of one of their rodeo buddies (who has mysteriously disappeared), and what they discover is a sweatshop operation run by a hot-tempered thug (Dylan McDermott, before his role on TV's The Practice). That's when the boys start using their ropin' and shootin' skills to foil the bad guys. One measure of this film's credibility is the inevitable scene of the boys riding on horseback through the gridlocked streets of Manhattan. Uh huh. You know how it goes... you just have to go with it or marvel at the sheer stupidity of it all. Of course, forget all the sniping if you're a fan of Harrelson or Sutherland--they're both doing their best under the burden of disadvantage. --Jeff Shannon

We Wish You a Merry Christmas
from Lions Gate
After the hard-working town of Harmony forgets that music exists, three orphans give their town the gift of Christmas carols.
Genre: Christmas
Rating: NR
Release Date: 13-SEP-2005
Media Type: DVD
The question the video We Wish You a Merry Christmas sets out to answer isn't exactly on the order of the chicken and the egg in terms of head-scratchers, but it's a worthy one nonetheless. And because it's put to the audience by the country singer Travis Tritt, it'll be that much more compelling for some viewers. "How did Christmas carols come to be?" asks the twangy crooner, disguised as a sleighbell-bejeweled cartoon reindeer who moonlights as a Christmas-special host. Don't sweat it if you're stumped--who would have guessed that, instead of spiraling from age-old spirituals, it all started with three hapless orphans in the tiny, make-believe town of Harmony? Ollie, Ted, and Cindy, down on themselves for forever being on the receiving end of Christmas exchanges, are intent on giving something back to their harried but good-hearted fellow townspeople--but what, given their nearly resourceless scenario? Cindy taps out a tune on a found xylophone, her two compatriots noodle around with some accidental lyrics, and voilĂ --their gift is a wrap. Folks, at first reluctantly, forget about the holiday frenzy and, through the magic of music, let the true spirit of the season flood in. This pat, predictable video is perfectly acceptable for all ages--essentially light, take-it-or-leave-it holiday fare. In the end, one wishes a different mystery, one that's dogged singers of the title tune for generations, had been explained: What's all the figgy pudding business about? -Tammy La Gorce
