Very fine, 91% Tomatometer. Chris Cooper and Kris Kristofferson play Texas sheriffs. This is very seldom shown which is why I’m highlighting it. Definitely worth a copy and viewing.

I remember this movie. It is outstanding. John Sayles' work is to be admired and savored -- just a phenomenal director. Francis McDormand, Elizabeth Pena, Joe Morton, Clifton James and a young McConaughey are a great cast.

Sayles - Matwan, Eight Men Out both worth revisiting as well.

Yes, especially Matewan, pitch perfect. Another Chris Cooper movie, with an outstanding James Earl Jones.

I set this for record on my DVR at the beginning of the week. TCM is following it with No Country and Blood Simple. I’ve never seen Lone Star, but it looked interesting so I set it for record.

Yeah, some kind of TCM Texas Thursday this month. Hud is next Thursday at 8, an American classic.

Blood Simple is early Coen Brothers, doesn’t quite work for me but it’s a good film.
