Anyone seen this film? It hide in the lost boys shadow he is definitely a worth watching so check it out if you haven't. If you have, what did you think?
I vaguely remember seeing this in a Rogers Video back in the day, but I never saw it... Anyone know if it's any good? The trailer makes me think I need a copy.
Here are my thoughts on it: https://lemmy.zip/post/30605437
Ahh! How did I miss that you've already covered it! My bad! I'm absolutely going to watch this ASAP. Thanks!
Well, I watched it! Yup, very western. I found myself waiting patiently for that moment where someone sits him down and explains the rules... And waiting... And waiting. Not bad, but it just seemed to be missing something. I see why Lost Boys has the bigger place in the culture. Still, fun way to waste a couple hours.
