rio-bravo The people in RIO BRAVO have the same kind of deep affection and understanding for one another as do close family members who are not afraid to speak truthfully for fear of hurting each other's feelings, and it is that aspect of the film that is so appealing. A lengthy, leisurely-paced film, RIO BRAVO is set in a small Texas border town, Rio Bravo, that is under the control of evil cattle baron Russell and his dim-witted brother, Akins.

» Rio Bravo RIO BRAVO is a film that doesn't taint with repeated viewings. Interestingly, director Howard Hawks remade this film in 1967 with Wayne and Robert Mitchum as "El Dorado" which I think is better but does not negate "Rio Bravo". Containing the quintessential John Wayne performance as Sheriff John Chance as well as sterling work by Dean Martin, Angie Dickinson and the incomparable Walter Brennan, RIO BRAVO is a finely crafted story that doesn't contain an extraneous scene or misplaced piece of dialogue. www.5f1.com /Reviews/Rio-Bravo/6300268470/2   (596 words)

Movie Database - [TV Guide Online] The people in RIO BRAVO have the same kind of deep affection and understanding for one another as do close family members who are not afraid to speak truthfully for fear of hurting each other's feelings, and it is that aspect of the film that is so appealing. RIO BRAVO was very successful commercially, and Hawks later used two variations of the story (with the same character types, similar situations, sometimes even the same sets) in his last two westerns, EL DORADO and RIO LOBO. A lengthy, leisurely paced film, RIO BRAVO is set in a small Texas border town, Rio Bravo, that is under the control of evil cattle baron Russell and his dim-witted brother, Akins. online.tvguide.com /movies/database/showmovie.asp?MI=18308   (576 words)

Cold War, Hot Nukes: Operation Castle 1954 The "Operation Castle JTF Commanders Report," a short film recently declassified by the Department of Energy, exposes a relentless "ends justify the means" attitude towards nuclear testing, with little concern for the consequences. The Operation Castle film shows the 82 inhabitants of Rongelap and the 150 inhabitants of Utrik being evacuated, while the narrator describes radiation levels at Utrik as "relatively light." Everyone exposed, according to the narrator, was given a "complete physical examination" and "every effort was made to assure their comfort and well-being." On March 1, 1954, a 15 megaton hydrogen bomb -- code named Bravo -- was detonated on Bikini Atoll, producing an intense fireball followed by a 20-mile-high mushroom cloud which sucked millions of tons of sand, water, coral, plants and sea life thousands of feet into the air. www.parascope.com /gallery/galleryitems/hotNukes/hotNukes06.htm   (1326 words)

The Old West, Howard Hawks-Style Rio Bravo is only the second film I've seen starring John Wayne (the other being The Searchers), and even now I still don't exactly know what to make of him as an actor. Rio Bravo was directed by Howard Hawks, who directed entries in many different genres, from screwball comedy (His Girl Friday), film noir (The Big Sleep), to westerns such as Red River and this film. Rio Bravo contains all three of these elements, although John Wayne is not the first thing I think of when I think rapid-fire dialogue. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/hollywood_archives/57450   (431 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Andy McNab's Bravo Two Zero [1998]: DVD A made-for-TV adaptation of Andy McNab's best-selling Bravo Two Zero--his account of a covert SAS mission in the Gulf War gone wrong. On the other hand, Bravo Two Zero undoubtedly appears quite dour when placed alongside a more flashy, Hollywood offering such as Three Kings. Nevertheless, SAS aficionados and fans of the novel will enjoy it immensely, if only to look at the way in which McNab's account presents Chris Ryan--author of a drastically different film and novel version of this incident, The One That Got Away--as a posturing, image-conscious coward. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004Y3O3   (877 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Bravo at Epinions.com But, when you play foreign films that might have nudity because it is an important part of the story, like "Damage", or when swearing is an important part of the dialogue of the film, like "Pulp Fiction", this just seems like they really don't care about the artistic nature of their film. However, on Bravo, they edited the visible breast scene out, and it was obvious where they did it. Yet, somehow Bravo manages to pull off IFC Fridays, where they play whatever movies IFC is showing at the same time. www.epinions.com /content_27298991748   (1746 words)

DVD Review: Bravo Two Zero The soundtrack for "Bravo Two Zero" fares decently, as sound effects and music don't overshadow dialogue, while all the elements come through clearly (although some may have a bit of trouble understanding some of the British accents). Final Thoughts: "Bravo Two Zero" is a fairly well-done action drama with some decent performances, but it has some slow patches and although the details felt authentic, I would have liked a bit more character development. A 1999 BBC production that is only currently getting a US video release, "Bravo Two Zero" is based upon the best selling novel by Andy McNabb about a secret mission in Iraq that went wrong. www.currentfilm.com /dvdreviews4/bravotwozerodvd.html   (615 words)

Rio Bravo Though Rio Bravo is unquestionably a "John Wayne movie," Howard Hawks himself said that the story belonged to Dude (Dean Martin) and, in his first serious Western role, the singer justified the risk taken by Hawks with a brilliant performance that was completely true. John Wayne personified such men like no other in the annals of cinema and Rio Bravo is filled with scenes that glorify his mythic persona. Others have been made more recently that use modern technical skill, but for the time and place, Rio Bravo was the epitome of the western genre and still holds up today. dvd24x7.com /b-rio-bravo   (1260 words)
