angel and the badman movie

 just before midday i went to see the movie 'angel and the badman' at the mall in Eden Prairie. this was a remake of a John Wayne western. there was just one actor in it that i recognized, it was tommy lee jones as a lawman, and Mr. jones had limited screen time in it. i liked it, but i have seen some westerns before that work for me. as a history major, it seems to tell the story of American history. in order to advance as a nation from one ocean to another, we needed to let law and order prevail. after the movie i went to the nearby food court for lunch. i had a club melt from a place called 'melts and burgers' then had a blizzard treat from the dairy queen. besides the movie itself, i was impressed with how many previews i saw that interested me. sometimes zero, sometimes one, this time three. it helped that all three were biopics. these were about Jimmy Stewart, Milton Hershey, and an NFL player known as 'Mr. irrelevant'. i had heard about the first two already. when i got back to my car i found a pro football game on the radio, bears-falcons, and when i got home i found it on TV. the bears held on to win it. the packers beat the cowboys in the Sunday night game. the open mic i was performing at wrapped up just before that game began. in the evening i did call my dad saying what movie i went to see, and as expected the title was recognized as dad likes John Wayne movies. i said i had ordered a DVD copy of the one from 1947 and it just arrived this weekend and will try to find the time to watch it soon. the disc is actually a double feature, the other one is 'the outlaw', another western from the same decade. i found the time to watch my DVD copy of 'clue', based on the board game. i was planning on seeing it in theaters as part of 'flashback cinema', a weekly event. this wasn't the first time where it was a good thing i checked what discs i already had. this meant i had the time to see two other movies that had made my list.
