THE THREE MUSKETEERS!
To hell with the critics who unanimously hated this latest incarnation of one of the greatest adventure stories ever written . . . I loved every ridiculous, campy, hilarious, beautifully filmed, corny dialogue, action-packed second. What a fun film that brought a whole new approach to the story, yet remained completely true to the plot and intent of the original. Well cast, and well executed . . .
If you love swordplay and are tired of the current trend in action films to cut everything so fast you can’t see what’s happening, then this film is for you. The swordplay is sharp, lengthy, well choreographed, and just a delight . . . everyone in the film appeared to be having fun . . .
Maybe I wasn't expecting much after the original reviews, and perhaps I am gushing too much, but this film deserves a break. . . I had fun . . . Brilliant . . .
NOIR NOW: AT THE BIJOU GOES NOIR!
FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, ABSOLUTELY KATE AND THE GANG OF AT THE BIJOU ARE WREATHING THEMSELVES IN BLACK AND WHITE, ATMOSPHERIC CIGARETTE SMOKE, AND CASES OF RICH AND HEAVY WHISKEY AS AT THE BIJOU GOES NOIR . . . BISH’S BEAT WILL EVEN BE GETTING IN ON A LITTLE OF THE ACTION . . .
From stylish crime dramas where come hither sensuality and cynicism on the rat-a-tat-tat shoot out their shadowy flings . . . where grifters, coppers, dicks and pugilists pull punches and punchlines . . . this enticing genre spans decades of tough talkin' flatfoots and daunting dames who flaunt ~~ well, what dames should flaunt to keep their daunting on the up and up. I mean what's a dame without her up and up to ooze a come hither? Low-key lighting swirls mighty minds in mist or fog as the mystique of visual style transports police procedures, lingering glances, dark alleys and opening chances to open and shut cases . . . or are they?

THE KINDLE TAPROOM REVIEWS HOT PURSUIT!
I WAS STUNNED AND HUMBLED BY THIS NEW REVIEW OF THE E-BOOK VERSION OF HOT PURSUIT . . .
Bishop's range is also impressive. He'll totally sell a frat house-style prank involving a tipped-over portable toilet in one scene, then totally engross us in a conversation where two cops discuss their true feelings about the general public in another. And he makes diverse scenes like these comfortably coexist with each other, creating a coherent whole.

ICY SEDGWICK
KINDLE EDITION ~ $2.99
The search for a murderous outlaw has brought the long roving Grey O’Donnell near to his hometown of Retribution, Arizona. Bounty hunters ain’t popular but old fashioned manners, kindness to regular folk and a face for the ladies make Grey an exception round these parts; and a six gun’ll take care of the rest. Anyway, Grey has a job to do elsewhere.
But, the odious Jasper Roberts has made himself Sheriff of Retribution and he has a score to settle with Grey. Jasper ain’t gonna let morals or the law get in the way of a good hanging and the townsfolk are cowed by their villainous lawman.
Can you really mess with a man’s momma and get away with it?
Sometimes there is more than one bullet with your name on it.
