Walking Thunder (1995)
Missing The Great John Denver
Entertainment Tonight previewed this wonderful little film as being the last thing John Denver made. It makes me sad to think this wonderful entertainer is gone from this world and will never make anything else for us to enjoy. I wish his role could have been larger and broader. He was a great actor in addition to being a great singer. We miss you in this world, J. D.
Silverado (1985)
Golden *Silverado*
Technically, this was the first movie I saw with Kevin Costner in it. I watched it on tv one night and I thought the character of Jake (Costner) was so cute but a wild and crazy guy. It was a good western, but needed much, much more of Kevin Costner in it. Not enough for my taste. The story is good, the scenery beautiful, the dialog fun. It's a 10 stars out of 10. If you love a good western, you gotta love this one. And I do.
Open Range (2003)
He Knows How To Do 'Em
I think in a lot of ways, Kevin Costner reminds me of Gary Cooper, John Wayne, and Jimmy Stewart. He's a man who can take a role and put his brand on it. He can do the western proud. Silverado, Wyatt Earp, Dances With Wolves...I hope they're many, many more in his future. OPEN RANGE is beautiful.
Higher Ground (1988)
Very Entertaining
I saw this movie on tv when it came out. I taped it and have enjoyed watching it several times. John Denver is my favorite singer. I know he no longer graces our world, but there will never be anyone else who can compare to him. He was the greatest in his field today, yesterday, and forever. Higher Ground is one of his best endeavors.
Tin Cup (1996)
Hole In One!
This movie is fun. This movie is funny. It has the best of casts. The golf, even if you don't understand golf (and I don't) is great. The music is perfect for it. The ending isn't what you'd expect. This movie is a 10 plus all the way. The best part about it? Kevin Costner totally. Along with Cheech Marin, they make a great comedic team. Wish they'd team up again. Rent it and have a good time.

Fandango (1985)
Fun Fandango
This movie is a lot of fun to watch. It's hilarious, in fact. The escapades of college men riding in an old ugly Cadillac with good music and a great story is the stuff great movies are made of. And the oh, so good looking Kevin Costner!!! The best thing about Fandango was him. A ten plus all in all.
Dances with Wolves (1990)
Read The Book
This is specifically for Tom Hull...did you happen to read the book DWW was based on? The Lt. Dunbar character was the very heart and soul of the book, thus, it had to be the same in the movie! No one could play it like Kevin Costner. No one. No other character could do the narrative, duh! DWW is the best western I've ever seen or hope to see. The book is an outstanding work of fiction. The movie is an outstanding adaptation of the book. The only difference is that in the book the Indians were the Comanche. In scouting a suitable site for the movie, Dakota territory was chosen. Thus the Indians became the Lakota Sioux. It all works for me.

Revenge (1990)
Great Story And Acting
Revenge is a good story and the acting is superb. I wish it had a happier ending, but all in all the ending is appropriate. I wish there wasn't so much cursing in it also. I think a good story can be told without using the foul language. But all in all, this is a 10.
For Love of the Game (1999)
For The Love Of Costner
I'm not the biggest baseball fan there is, but when baseball is the feature of a Costner movie, I'm there all the way. Bull Durham was great. I could've did without all the cursing, but he was so sexy in that. Field Of Dreams is a wonderful movie that I think is great for Father's Day between father and son. It was an Oscar best picture contender. I'm sorry it didn't win. It deserved to. For Love Of The Game is unique and a very good movie about a man's love for a woman and the game he so much loves. I rate this like BD and FOD a ten plus.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
Rockin' Robin
This was the very first Kevin Costner movie I went to see at the theater. I'd watched the Oscars that March in 1991 and saw all the Oscars that beautiful Dances With Wolves won, and I had always loved the story of Robin Hood as a kid. I had the best time with this movie. It was adventurous, funny, sad in places, and just a good time to escape for an afternoon. That's what this movie is, a great way to escape from everyday drudgery. Kevin was a great Robin Hood. Not too many people realize that the dialect coach was fired by the stupid director Reynolds. There wasn't time to go in and redub the accent. Plus, Kevin was still promoting Dances With Wolves. The guy was tired, so he should be given some slack. He did his own stunts and everything. It's a sensational picture and he's rockin' Robin!

Waterworld (1995)
Hard Work Paid Off
There was no inflated ego at work here---this to the very first person who gave their opinion at the top. Do you think making this movie was just a joy ride to try and see how much money could be blown? I think not! Kevin Costner had to finish this movie when the cowardly director pulled a juvenile fit and gave up. He put in his 110% like he always does. I saw this movie in a packed theater, with lines wrapped around the building to get into the stadium seating theater to see it. The crowd loved it. I saw it in one of the worst summers I ever had in my life. It made me laugh and have a great time. Kevin Costner is a great actor and makes every movie enjoyable.
No Way Out (1987)
Great Movie
This movie is an E-ticket ride from beginning to end. It's a thrill a minute. When I first saw this movie, I was blown away by the unique ending. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who truly appreciates the work of Kevin Costner. He's extraordinary in this film.
Dragonfly (2002)
Just Right
This is an awesome movie. It is just right for Kevin Costner. If I had a doctor like him, I would actually go to see one. The story is touching and beautiful. I love it from beginning to end. I wish others could appreciate this film as much as everybody I know, including myself, did. I'm not a real fan of spooky movies, but this was different. It was hauntingly beautiful. I would recommend seeing this on a cold, cloudy day, snuggling with your heart's desire.
Wyatt Earp (1994)
Never Too long
The long version of Wyatt Earp is preferrable to the quick shoot em up of Tombstone. We can understand more about Wyatt Earp from boy to man. It makes more sense. Kevin Costner did an Oscar winning performance of Wyatt Earp. All the actors were excellent. Kevin was supposed to do Tombstone but had already commited himself to the Wyatt Earp version.
The War (1994)
So Overlooked
When I saw the War, I thought man, this is the stuff Oscar likes. And what happened? Overlooked. Dismissed. It's not fair. Elijah Woods was great. Kevin Costner was outstanding. All the people involved with this film was exceptional. How can something so well done be so overlooked? I hope it doesn't happen again. I wish that this film could have been re-released the way they do other films sometimes. That way it could be seen and appreciated.
