Cowboy Junction (2006) Reviews
Gregory Christian was a strong and commanding lead (a real man) !?!?!
Did I miss something....because the review by NormaDesmond69 must be about a different picture.... The main problem here....as is so often the case with 'indie' movies, is that the key creative responsibilities such as producing, writing, directing and playing the lead get filled by one person, the one who had the 'vision' for the movie.... in this scenario the ability for real objectivity becomes lost as that individual is far too close to the project.... the reality with this film is that the story was not strong to begin with and judging from the credits, there appears to be no one adding perspective or any objective input... I would suggest the picture was in trouble before principal photography even begun. Clearly though, James Michael Bobby was the absolute saving grace in what would have been an otherwise dire and unwatchable movie. Contrary to other views, I would argue that he totally pulled his weight and did exactly what his character was supposed to do, be menacing, vulnerable and the catalyst for action at a turning/breaking point in a deeply dull and empty marriage (frankly I would have turned gay had I been married to that dreary, needy woman)...I don't agree with anyone who thought that Gregory Christian delivered anything more than a lack lustre energy-less performance in a highly confusing, self-indulgent, yet ultimately predictable storyline for the genre. In Sunset Boulevard, the 'real' Norma Desmond said, "We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!" Sadly in this case NormaDesmond69 seems to have missed the irony that in 'Cowboy Junction' they had neither !
So bad it's .... just bad.
I also saw this movie at a film festival in Philadelphia. I knew it was going to be bad when the presenter of the film described it as a "guilty pleasure." To me, a guilty pleasure is some awful movie you sit through just because one of the performers is hot. And I guess that's what happened here, except I didn't even really find the cowboy to be that hot with his fake southern accent. I think both he and the actress who played the wife are decent actors, but any actor, good or bad, would choke on the lines these poor actors were given... I wanted to walk out but had made the mistake of sitting in the middle of the row, and so to be polite to my neighbors, I sat through it all. As if the directing, writing, acting, music, sets, lighting, and cinematography all were not bad enough, this film actually adds insult to injury by introducing an unnecessary plot detail in the final moments that makes the already flimsy plot absolutely incomprehensible. Best I can say about this is that if you're in the mood for a stunningly amateur movie, this could be fun to mock, if you're not trapped in a darkened theater where you're expected to be respectful.
Another Predictable, Stereotypical "Gay" Movie
Oh Lord...haven't we had enough??? Another predictable, stereotypical "gay" movie. Admittedly I was expecting much more from this film, based on the plot summary on the DVD case. What I experienced was a slow, painful-to-watch piece of drivel that I just couldn't wait for to end. Fortunately the film was mercifully short, and I was left with "huh???" The hit-and-run plot was so thin it was practically invisible. Couldn't they at least have provided some backstory as to why the cowboy was so distraught over the death of this unseen "boyfriend"? This movie was nothing more than the worst of the worse in soft porn, with the physical attributes of the cowboy being the only thing that this movie has to offer. NEXT!!!
This films rocks.!!
I enjoyed Cowboy Junction so much that I told all my friends about it. For a low Budget indie film I very impressed. Gregory Christian did a wonderful job portraying the troubled mind of a gay man and his lover. Everybody sees the title and thinks "Brokeback Mountain' Well think again. The actors and actresses that Christian casts did a wonderful job. Indie films amaze me with their low budgets, no-name actors, actresses etc. and this film is another that surprised me. I went into it not really expecting much but came out of it pleasantly surprised. I even cried a little. I give this film 2 thumbs up...it was fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone who really likes indie films.
A strange but good film
This film is set in a surreal landscape where hustlers sell themselves in a desert wasteland and an estranged straight couple keep a houseboy in a cramped and garish L.A. tract house. Perhaps these sparse locales were originally chosen due to budget constraints, but nonetheless, they serve to deliver the viewer from mundane normalcy into a Lynchian dreamworld of subconscious emotion and symbolism. Though the plot is vague and the characterizations sketchy (probably intentionally so) the strength of the film is the passionate and confused erotic and emotional intensity that is maintained throughout. The two final scenes (climax and denouement) are surprising but also come off as forced and gimmicky. In my opinion a preferable ending is the one shown in the 'deleted scene' section of the DVD.
