Summary: I love this movie
Review: "Clay Pigeons" has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. It isn't stunningly good or a film that is destined to be a classic, it's the equivalent of comfort food to me. I don't really have any comfort food, so I have a comfort movie. This movie makes me laugh so hard I almost die everytime I watch it and I have seen it about a million times. This is what a real comedy should be, hilarious but with humor that doesn't detract from the storyline. It doesn't contain jokes that seem to almost step outside the movie, like so many comedies do. It is great at taking horrific moments and somehow turning them into the most hilarious ones. Going fishing and having a body float up to your boat is not something anyone would find funny if it happened to them, but the scene in which just that happens has to be one of the funniest parts of the movie. The acting is wonderful, too, which is definitely a plus. Of course everyone knows that Joaquin Phoenix is the greatest actor on the earth... or at least one of the greatest, so he is terrific in this movie as Clay, the main character. Vince Vaughn is great as well. His character is ridiculously funny, although I must admit, unrealistic. But he isn't supposed to be the kind of guy you find in real life, he is purposely a sort of cliche. I have seen this movie so much I almost think of it as being a tame family film, but really it isn't. With lots of murders and such going on it might scare some people. (i.e.-many people I know) But no one can argue with the fact that this movie succeeds brilliantly in its purpose--it is extremely funny.

Summary: Okay, nothing Like 'WHOA"
Review: ... I saw ... they rated it in the top ten movies for the year it was releases, and I saw on here it had nice reviews... The plot sounded nice too. When I saw it, it was almost making me sleep, after finishing the movie, I was like, why did I see this movie. The cast was fantastic, especially Vince Vaughn. The music, enjoyment, and the plot was all pretty much [garbage]. ...

Summary: Surprise! It's Good!
Review: A dark comedy that starts off with a bang -- literally. The beginning is well-written, for it sets the pace for the rest of the movie. It pulls you in and makes you wonder what's going to happen next. A few minutes into the film, however, it starts to show traits of some pointless independent movie. Luckily, it picks up when Janeane Garofalo, the dry and sarcastic FBI agent, steps in. Joaquin Phoenix, whose brilliance as an actor is becoming more evident with every progressive film, turns in a commendable performance. Vince Vaughn provides great comic relief as your stereotypical, insane cowboy. The rest of the cast is also brilliant, however subtle their roles are. Although not perfect, this film has a way of staying with you, with its quirky and fun soundtrack, offbeat performances, fast-paced and intricately woven plot, and desolate country setting. Give this movie a try and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Summary: clay pigeons flies like an eagle
Review: Although he didn't get an oscar nod for his role as Lester Long, vince Vaughn shouldn't have been overlooked for his creepy but likeable role as A serial killer in Clay Pigeons. Likewise overlooked was comedian Janeane Garofalo who helps hold up the movie by following Vaughn's lead. Joaqin Phoenix and Georgina Cates also have strong roles as the ill fated lovers whom Vaughn's character comes between. Produced by Ridley and Tony Scott Clay Pigeons is A movie that may have been overlooked in theaters, but will hopefully find the audience it deserves on video.

Summary: Great Cowboy Clothing
Review: Although the main character hardly lives his life "in the cowboy way" he is a snappy dresser in his fine collection of highly embroidered cowboy shirts reminicient of Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and Tom Mix. Many of the shirts were made by H BAR C - California Ranchwear and are still available in western stores today.

Summary: A innocent kid, a daranged killer, and some dead bodies.
Review: CLay and his friend are out shooting bottles one day when his friend pulls a gun on him. Clay's friend accuses him of sleeping with his wife and kills himself in order to blame Clay for the murder. He befriends a strange guy who whines up being a psycho killer. Well now Clay has more than one murder to dill with. This would have to be one of the smartest movies I've ever seen because of the story and the acting. The cast did well with their parts and I was very pleased.

Summary: A haunting, dark comedy...
Review: Clay Birdwell (Joaquim Phoenix) is a small-town guy who hates his ho-hum small-town life. In one afternoon all that changes. His best friend Earl (Gregory Sporleder) confronts him, while out target shooting, that he knows Clay's been involved with his wife (Georgina Cates). Earl commits suicide in an attempt to frame Clay for his murder...and with Clay's cover-up of that act, a chain of other terrible killings is sparked, as a charming, cowboy, serial killer, Lester Long (Vince Vaughn) senses an opportunity.Dead bodies start turning up in "Big Sky Country" (Montana) and, unfortunately all of them, right under Clay's nose. Soon, the FBI turns up as well. Janeane Garofalo is great as the skeptical and sarcastic investigating agent. This is a very well done dark comedy with a great cast - Vaughn is excellent, so are Garofalo and Joaquim Phoenix. Some great side characters are played by Scott Wilson (Sheriff Mooney), Vince Vieluf (Deputy Barney) and Phil Morris as the silent and brooding agent Reynard. A real keeper.

Summary: A truly funny film
Review: Clay Pigeon's is one of those small great films you look at in the video store and ask yourself whether it's wort your $5. Well, for this small, off beat, black comedy it certainly is. It features a great cast and a darkly funny scrpit. Janenne Garofalo is hilarious as the cynnical FBI agent and Joaquin Phoenix is great as the poor guy who keeps stubling across dead bodies. Also Vince Vaughn's performance as Lester Long is one not to be missed. This movie will keep you laughing from beginning to end!

Summary: This is Such a Good Movie!
Review: Even though this movie was just recently released, I have seen it about 20 times. Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because I am the biggest Vince Vaughn and Joaquin Phoenix fan in the world (they are only the finest guys ever), but I loved the movie as well as the main characters. This movie is dark yet lighthearted at times, creepy yet hilarious-it is a thriller packed with comedy, and mystery. The actors in it are incredible, and each of them give incredible performances. Vince Vaughn plays the hilarious Lester Long, Joaquin plays the troubled Clay, Georgina Cates plays a small-town gal with a serious attitude problem, and Janeane Garofolo plays a witty FBI agent. (Also watch for the goofy Deputy) The plot is fast-paced, and you will never know what happens next. This is a definite must-see movie!
