Summary: Bubba's Meatloaf is Full of Vitamins and Minerals!
Review: Though Bubba's Meatloaf is filled with vitamins and minerals, it tastes terrible. As seen on TV this weekend, you may have seen my lung when it was getting its finger nails manicured. I have lived in Antarctica for the past 5 years and I have discovered the evolutionary wonders of the chimpanzees living in a small rain forest near my living area. I have been frozen solidly many times and have not gotten a case of frost bite any of those times. This may be of the time I injected myself with V-8. I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I hate V-8! I like V-8!

Summary: Pathetic
Review: Never heard of this movie? There's a reason - the few people who saw it want to forget it ever happened. The cast is pretty forgetable but that may not be their fault. No one could save this movie.

It is a lousy attempt at a comedy/action movie. Pure straight to video (...) If someone gives you this video I might suggest watching it if you are unable to think of anything better to do. You would be insane to waste any money on it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Let's face it...it ain't Tombstone and it doesn't try to be
Review: I really enjoyed it. One could argue that it was because I'm sixteen and I enjoy eye candy when I see it (hello Will McCormack, Colin Farell and Scott Caan!). It's a good flick for if you want a couple of laughs...some action and you want two hours for yourself. It's good for the general audience it's trying to reach but let's face it. It's not Tombstone, so don't try to stack it up against it. It doesn't work.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Too Much Violence
Review: Comic Western follows exploits of the James-Younger gang, who became some of the Old West's most notorious outlaws after running afoul of the law for justified vigilantisim.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Best Western Release Since Tombstone
Review: My husband is not much on going to the movie theater but I got him to go see this one - not once but twice so far. He would go every weekend to see this one. The only other time I got him into the theater was to see Tombstone. American Outlaws has it all. From romance, to comedy, to history, to drama - it fulfills all areas and fulfills them well. Gabriel Macht who plays Jesse James brother, Frank was superb. I would compare his performance to that of Val Kilmer in Tombstone. Frank James made the movie for me! He was absolutley brilliant. We took our eight year old son to see this movie after we saw it the first time. He loved it. There is VERY LITTLE profanity and not as much violence as one would expect. This movie is a must see for any western/romance movie lover!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Dime Movie
Review: First of all, anyone going to see this movie must accept that it will be, in no way, a hugely dramatic piece of work that will make you question your own humanity. Even though this is essentially a revenge story, it does not carry the weight of, say, Dostoevsky. What it does accomplish, however, is to make the inner child within all of us want to be cowboys. American Outlaws captures the spirit of the dime novel to bring you yet another interpretation of the Jesse James story. All the outlaws are good, the people they fight are bad, and all the showdowns feature more action and gunplay than you can shake a stick at. It is not blood-and-guts gunplay, but more what you'd see from Frontier Town at Disney World. What definately caught me by surprise was the adherence to the way guns were in the Old West. Sure, there's the occasional "No way" shot, but most of the action has one man walking among many guns blazing because the others can't react fast enough because of surprise or shock. You could do that in the Old West because revolvers were primitive enough that the best shots were close up and calm. If you did the unexpected, the other guy was much less likely to hit you. The only real I almost wish this was a PG movie so that more kids would see it, but I think the studios felt they'd make more as a teen movie than as a family flick. Overall, this is a highly enjoyable movie that really brings the inner child in all of us to life.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: American Outlaws
Review: American Outlaws is as much a traditional Western as A Knight's Tale is a traditional sports film. The two have much in common with one another given their irreverent, don't-care approach to the material, and both have one common ingredient to spare - FUN.

American Outlaws centers around the exploits of Jesse James, but don't expect much in the way of historical accuracy. For any who even TRY to bash the film for its faults in this category, the movie simply laughs and shakes its head knowingly. It's hard to criticize a movie that revels in its own goofiness. That's exactly what makes American Outlaws so entertaining - not to mention some fancy, eye-dazzling gunfights and a charismatic team of young actors.

If American Outlaws fails on any level, it seems to come to an end far too quickly. It's a short film, point of fact, and it almost feels like you've just seen a trailer as opposed to the feature itself. But it's a darn fine trailer, well worth the price of admission.
