5 comments about Straight Acting.

1. I highly recommend this film. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would give it 6 stars if I could just for the subject matter. For a short documentary this covers a lot of great territory. It is informative, humorous and entertaining.
   
   One of my friends couldn't relate to it. He has never been passionate about any sport and can't remember when he wasn't "out". Good for him. However, many LGBT people have difficulties while trying to overcome stereotypes, fears and prejudices both in themselves and in others. Coming out, in part, is about forging an open, honest and integrated life.
   
   This movie seems to be about just that; forging an integrated life. For LGBT people who either grew up playing "straight" in sports, or who picked up sports after coming out, this is their story. An integrated life; with all the passion of sports and with people who accept you scrapes bruises and all, it is awesome.



2. This film will hopefully shatter some people's ideas that all gay men love Cher, the club, and shopping. The men interviewed are all very likeable and as another reviewer mentioned, articulate.
   
   My only complaint is that, as a gay man, I really don't fit either of the molds presented in this film. I've been out for some time, but I don't fit into the "femme" or the "butch" scenes. I detest show-tunes and club life just as much as I detest beer and sports. I imagine that the director was trying to showcase another specific walk of gay life, but he's almost painting things to be black & white. Just like the straight world, there are more than just stereotypical "men" and "women" who exist.
   
   I have a straight male friend, who upon finding out I was gay said that he had met many effeminate "nelly" gay men before, and many butch "straight-acting" gay men as well, but he had never met anyone like me... looks like I'm gonna have to make my own movie :P



3. I had never heard the term "straight acting" although after watching the film I realized that I know quite a few men who fit the description. The film challenges our stereotypes of masculinity and femininity by introducing us to men who embrace both being gay and their athleticism or at least their love of sport. The director's personal journey definitely hits home because the film is ultimately about being yourself and breaking out of self or other imposed boundaries.



4. Straight Acting All young gay men should watch this film. It definitely reflects a portion of our community that that becomes invisible due to society's preconcieved notions of what a gay man should be or act like. Butch boys who have yet to find their way and place in the gay world will definitely benefit from veiwing this film. Excellent documentary. Prize-worthy.



5. Kudos to Spence for spending countless hours and a significant amount of his time and money to create this documentary. While the era of segregated "gay-only" teams and rodeos may not have staying power, this has potential historical significance in exploring the social dynamics that took place at that time, driving many to seek out or form gay-friendly groups. It's worthwhile viewing, if anything to understand the genesis of the Bingham Cup.

2 comments about Adrenaline Cowboys: Eight Seconds to Glory.

1. I really like this movie. Every bull rider at heart is a cowboy, Bo Derek announces as she hosts this intimate, and often heart-warming, inside look at a truly rare breed of men. They are both athletes and cowboys, competing in one of the most extreme and brutal of all sports, professional bull riding. From the rookies struggling to make it through the challenger ranks, all the way to some of the biggest stars of the sport competing on the PBR Cup Tour, Adrenaline Cowboys is an in-depth look into the heart's and mind's of men who have the courage to chase their dreams no matter what the cost. Featuring personal stories and behind-the-scenes footage along with some of the most bone-crushing extreme ride entertainment ever - guaranteed to take you into the arena and straight to the heart of the action.



2. this movie was for my husband and he love the movie sinc he is a bull rider

5 comments about Rodeo Thrills & Spills.

1. In December 2006, I got a DVD of Rodeo Thrills & Spills and that was the best perfect Christams gift ever and I really loved and enjoyed them all. But, the best news of all it really means to Cowboy Up! It's the greatest sport on dirt and it's coming to your living room! It'll heat up your living room for sure.
   
   This DVD has some of lots of the best clips of the different rodeos in the USA and other countires of some of the best calf ropers, bronco busters, rodeo clowns and trick riders and steer wrestlers and some of the others. It has some lots of the best great clips from the 1989 National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas, Nevada of the blue fence with the yellow writing including some of the bareback riders, steer wrestlers, saddle bronc riders, one barrel racer and lots of the bull riders at the 1989 NFR and also some of my great favorite 11 calf roping clips at the Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo in Prescott, Arizona, USA and my only favorite team roping clip is just the one at the Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo in Prescott, Arizona, USA and your favorite scene might be the ROPE BURNS showing how calves get roped and tied. This is the best one ever and watch it forever and ever and you'll love it all on action. The calf roping clips are funny when they miss and pull out the second lasso or when they only carry one rope and miss. There's a left-handed calf roper in one clip on this DVD.
   
   In this DVD of Rodeo Thrills & Spills, it has some music from the other videos of Rodeo Bloopers 1 & 2 which goes great with this DVD.
   
   The top best events ever are the Calgary Stampede and the annual National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada.
   
   Also, in the second disc of Superstars and Great Rides of Rodeo, my favorite calf ropers in that one are Dave Brock, Gary Ledford, Willard Moody, Jerry Jetton & Chris Lybbert and that's my only five favorite calf roping stars and that's how I want to rope just like those five and that's the way I'll practice like them to rope calves.
   
   My only favorite calf roping clips are:
   
   The first video clip of a calf roper running down and flanking the calf in the opening credits of Rodeo's Greatest Spills
   The 6th video clip of the calf roper dismounting on the left, ducking under the rope at the Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo in Prescott, Arizona, USA in a clip scene called "Over The Calf"
   The 9th video clip of the calf roper making a quick run down the rope to the calf, flanks it on and the calf's feet land on the ground and and the rope ties the calf up at the Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo at the Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo in Prescott, Arizona, USA in a clip scene called "Over The Calf"
   The 10th video clip of a calf roper sitting on horseback talking and nodding his head to other people and wiping his face in a clip scene called "Colorfull Cowboys"
   The 10th video clip of a calf roper chasing after a calf with four swings, runs down to the calf after it is roped, calf fights the cowboy a little when the rope hits the roper's hat off, ducks under the rope, flanks down the calf and as he tries to tie the calf, the calf's back legs escape so the cowboy has to gather them up again and tie them with two wraps and a half hitch in a clip scene called "Fun at the Rodeo"
   The first video clip of a calf roper chasing after a calf by swinging his rope by six swings, pitches the slack in the air, dismounts and runs down to the calf, calf buts in and fights the cowboy a little bit and the cowboy has a little blooper with the calf, has trouble flanking it and then flanks it and ties up the calf with two wraps and a half hitch in a clip scene called "Rope Burns"
   The fifth video clip of a calf roper roping the calf by two swings, dismounts, calf escapes and the roper tries to get back on the horse while the horse keeps backing up but finally in the second clip of they show the roper has caught the calf with the second loop and the roper has trouble flanking the calf a little bit, flanks down the calf and then gets ready to tie it in a clip scene called "Rope Burns"
   A clip of a left-handed calf roper roping the calf by two swings, when the cowboy dismounts on the left, his hat falls off, cowboy runs down the rope, flanks the calf left-handed and gets ready to tie with his left hand
   A fourth clip of a calf roper roping the calf by two swings, dismounts, calf escapes and the roper tries to get back on the horse while the horse keeps backing up in a clip scene called "Anglin' Wranglers"
   A sixth clip of a calf roper roping the calf by one or two swings tries to rope the animal, pulls out the second loop, throws the second loop on the calf, dismounts and falls down a little bit and gets a little bit tangled in his first rope he missed with, gets up and ready to flank down the calf and is just about to tie it in a clip scene called "Anglin' Wranglers"
   A seventh clip of the calf roper running down to the calf after it is roped, calf fights the cowboy a little when the rope hits the roper's hat off, ducks under the rope, gets ready to flank down the calf in a clip scene called "Anglin' Wranglers"
   A tenth clip of the calf roper running down to the calf and is just abolut to flank it down in a clip scene called "Anglin' Wranglers"
   A clip of the roper chasing down the calf with two or three swings and pitches his slack in the air and gets ready to run down to the calf with the writing called "Bloops & Saddles" to show that it's the new video that's opening
   A 12th clip of a calf roper chasing down a calf by two swings and pitching his slack in the air
   A 23rd clip of the calf roper throwing the second loop on the calf, dismounts and falls down a little bit and gets a little bit tangled in his first rope he missed with, gets up and ready to flank down the calf
   A 33rd clip of the calf roper pitching and slacking his rope up in the air as he dismounts from his horse and runs down to the calf just about to flank it in a clip scene called "Horsin' Around"
   A 37th clip of the calf roper has already caught the calf with the second loop and the roper has trouble flanking the calf a little bit, flanks down the calf and then gets ready to tie it in a clip scene called "Horseplay"
   The first video clip of the calf roper running down and flanking the calf in a scene called "Fun wtih Livestock"
   
   That's the only way I want to be those cowboys from this DVD and now, my only favorite team roping clip is:
   
   The third video clip of the header roping the steer's horns by one swing and the header turns the steer for the heeler but the heeler misses the heel loop and has another second chance at the Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo in Prescott, USA, Arizona in a scene called "Fun with Livestock"
   
   In Superstars and Great Rides of Rodeo, my only favorite calf ropers are Dave Brock, Gary Ledford, Willard Moody, Jerry Jetton & Chris Lybbert.
   
   Jerry Jetton was one of the best calf ropers and one of the guys perfect for the 1989 NFR in Las Vegas, Nevada.
   
   The best clothing you'd want to wear for the runs in the calf roping is:
   
   black cowboy hat (falls of the head), blue shirt, blue jeans
   white cowboy hat, light blue with black and blue striped corduroy shirt and green corduroy pants
   white cowboy hat (off the head), white shirt with light blue and black stripes, blue jeans

   The best clothing you'd want to wear for the runs in the team roping (heading) is: white cowboy hat, green and white stripped shirt, blue jeans
   
   Now, for the Superstars & Great Rides of Rodeo, there's some more of the best clothing you'd want to wear for the runs in the calf roping is:
   
   DB: black cowboy hat, blue shirt, tan beige corduroy pants
   GL: white cowboy hat, purple shirt, blue jeans
   WM: white cowboy hat, white t-shirt, white t-shirt, plaid shirt of blue, purple, white and yellow, blue jeans

   Those are the only clothing that no one cannot change and there for the best professional new calf roper someday William MacLeod to remember his favorite clips in this DVD of his favorite runs and stars and the team roping to show that I am the best ever and I like to rope and cut cattle.
   
   Calf roping was my favorite clips of all times in this DVD and I liked the clips from the 1989 NFR in Las Vegas, Nevada and the calf roping clips at the Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo in Prescott, Arizona, USA and Rope Burns is the best one almost favorite ever.
   
   Well, I really loved and enjoyed this two-pack DVD set which I'll keep watching forever and ever and this is the best one, yet ever with all the ones I like for the best years to come.
   
   I loved it and the rodeo rocks to your living room and my laptop:)!



2. I saw my first Rodeo show in Pendleton last September and I was impressed by the riders and the great atmosphere in the public! After that the reviewed dvd seemed a bit dull and repetitive with obviously a lot of old film footage...but then the price was low too !!



3. In December 2006, I got a DVD of Rodeo Thrills & Spills and that was the best perfect Christmas gift ever and I really just only loved and enjoyed "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo". But, the best news of all in "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo" is that it still really means to Cowboy Up! It's the greatest sport on dirt and it's coming to your living room! It'll heat up your living room for sure.
   
   On the back of the DVD cover of "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo" it goes:
   
   THESE COWBOYS KNOW HOW IT'S DONE!
   You're about to see some of the wildest rides by some of the bravest (or craziest) cowboys. With hundreds of rides, wrecks and rodeos under their belts, these cowboys have earned the right to be called Super Star. Watch the sport's best in the events that made them famous: bull ridin', steer wrestlin', bronc bustin', and calf ropin'. We've collected some of the finest thrills and throws to prove once and for all that rodeo men are the toughest around.
   
   The only one ever I like is "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo" because it's 89 minutes and that's the only rodeo DVD I like from "Rodeo Thrills & Spills" because I hate "Rodeo Spills, Smashes & Crashes" because it's over 118 minutes as it's very scary, sad, nervous, scared and makes me sick and have a fever for sure because it is for the cowboys that they get very hurt bad of how the broncs, bulls and calves try to get the best of the cowboys in Rodeo Spills, Smashes, and Crashes and the music in some is nervous so that's why the only one I will just carry and have just "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo" because it's 89 minutes and it's a peaceful one, laughing one, quiet time to be by yourself to watch it, enjoy it and "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo" is just the only best one ever to have, forever for years to come!
   
   The top best events ever are still the Calgary Stampede and the annual National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada as if just still perfect for "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo".
   
   My favorite second disc of Rodeo Thrills & Spills is only "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo", my favorite calf ropers in that one are Dave Brock, Gary Ledford, Willard Moody, Jerry Jetton & Chris Lybbert and that's my only five favorite calf roping stars and that's how I want to rope just like those five and that's the way I'll practice like them to rope calves.

   Well, I still don't like "Rodeo Spills, Smashes & Crashes" because it's very scary, sad, nervous, scared and makes me sick and have a fever for sure because it is for the cowboys that they get very hurt bad of how the broncs, bulls and calves try to get the best of the cowboys but, the only one I just loved and enjoyed is just this one DVD of "Super Stars And Great Rides of Rodeo", which is the side-splittin', bone-jarrin', bronc-bustin' action for the best hilarious rip-roarin' rodeo hi-jinks collected on one hot video which covers all the best of "Super Stars And Great Rides of Rodeo" to watch bronco-busters and calf ropers, which I'll only keep watching forever and ever and this is the best one, yet ever with all the other six rodeo DVD's I like for the best years to come. As if the 2007 Wrangler NFR will be added in my rodeo someday as if I like the eight or just maybe the seven collection of rodeo DVD's.
   
   Once again, it's rodeo time and you're about to see some of the wildest rides by some of the bravest (or craziest) cowboys.

   I loved it and "Super Stars And Great Rides of Rodeo" will be the only one from "Rodeo Thrills & Spulls" which I'll have forever as the best gem and it still sure rocks to your living room and still, of course, my laptop:)!



5. In December 2006, I got a DVD of Rodeo Thrills & Spills and that was the best perfect Christmas gift ever and I really just only loved and enjoyed "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo". But, the best news of all in "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo" is that it still really means to Cowboy Up! It's the greatest sport on dirt and it's coming to your living room! It'll heat up your living room for sure.
   
   On the back of the DVD cover of "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo" it goes:
   
   THESE COWBOYS KNOW HOW IT'S DONE!
   You're about to see some of the wildest rides by some of the bravest (or craziest) cowboys. With hundreds of rides, wrecks and rodeos under their belts, these cowboys have earned the right to be called Super Star. Watch the sport's best in the events that made them famous: bull ridin', steer wrestlin', bronc bustin', and calf ropin'. We've collected some of the finest thrills and throws to prove once and for all that rodeo men are the toughest around.
   
   The only one ever I like is "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo" because it's 89 minutes and that's the only rodeo DVD I like from "Rodeo Thrills & Spills" because I hate "Rodeo Spills, Smashes & Crashes" because it's over 118 minutes as it's very scary, sad, nervous, scared and makes me sick and have a fever for sure because it is for the cowboys that they get very hurt bad of how the broncs, bulls and calves try to get the best of the cowboys in Rodeo Spills, Smashes, and Crashes and the music in some is nervous so that's why the only one I will just carry and have just "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo" because it's 89 minutes and it's a peaceful one, laughing one, quiet time to be by yourself to watch it, enjoy it and "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo" is just the only best one ever to have, forever for years to come!
   
   The top best events ever are always still the Calgary Stampede and the annual National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada as if just still perfect for "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo".
   
   My favorite second disc of Rodeo Thrills & Spills is only "Super Stars and Great Rides of Rodeo", my favorite calf ropers in that one are now only Dave Brock, Gary Ledford, Willard Moody, Jerry Jetton, Chris Lybbert and Roger Davis and that's my only new favorite six calf roping stars and that's how I want to rope just like those six and that's the way I'll practice like them to rope calves.
   
   My only favorite DVD from Rodeo Thrills & Spills is "Super Stars And Great Rides of Rodeo" and my favorite calf roping clips with the athletes to watch are Dave Brock, Gary Ledford, Willard Moody, Jerry Jetton, Chris Lybbert and Roger Davis, as my only six favorites.
   
   In Superstars and Great Rides of Rodeo as my only favorite DVD, my only favorite calf ropers are Dave Brock, Gary Ledford, Willard Moody, Jerry Jetton, Chris Lybbert and Roger Davis.
   
   Jerry Jetton was one of the best calf ropers and one of the guys perfect for the 1989 National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
   
   Now, just only for the Super Stars And Great Rides of Rodeo, there's some more of the best clothing you'd want to wear for the same runs in the calf roping is:
   
   DB: black cowboy hat, blue shirt, tan beige corduroy pants
   GL: white cowboy hat, purple shirt, blue jeans
   WM: white cowboy hat, white t-shirt, white t-shirt, plaid shirt of blue, purple, white and yellow, blue jeans
   JJ: white cowboy hat, white cowboy hat, white t-shirt, dark navy blue shirt with white collar and two white round striped circles on the left and right hand side, blue jeans
   JJ getting the champion & the JJ photo: white cowboy hat, green and white stripped shirt, blue jeans
   JJ: white cowboy hat, blue, black and white chequered shirt, blue jeans
   JJ: white cowboy hat, white t-shirt, blue, purple and yellow shirt, blue jeans
   JJ: black cowboy hat (falls off the head), black cowboy hat, grey t-shirt, plaid shirt of golden yellow, red, green, light blue and black, black jeans
   DB: black cowboy hat, white t-shirt or muscle shirt, black shirt with white dots, black jeans
   CL: white cowboy hat (falls off the head), light blue with black and blue striped corduroy shirt, black jeans
   RD: white cowboy hat, grey t-shirt, black shirt with white dots, blue jeans
   
   That's the only way I want to be those cowboys in calf roping from this DVD called "Super Stars And Great Rides of Rodeo" and that's the only one I like of the Rodeo Thrills & Spills"
   
   Those are the only clothing that no one cannot change and there for the best professional new calf roper someday William MacLeod to remember his favorite clips in this DVD of his favorite runs and stars in the calf roping to show that I am the best ever and I like to be in calf roping, team roping (heading) and cutting cattle.
   
   Calf roping was my favorite clips of all times in this DVD "Super Stars And Great Rides of Rodeo" and I liked the clips from the 1989 NFR in the bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding in Las Vegas, Nevada in this DVD "Super Stars And Great Rides of Rodeo" and another funny scene is COWBOYS & COWPIES laughing at the bull riders at the 1989 NFR getting thrown and down.
   
   Well, I still don't like "Rodeo Spills, Smashes & Crashes" because it's very scary, sad, nervous, scared and makes me sick and have a fever for sure because it is for the cowboys that they get very hurt bad of how the broncs, bulls and calves try to get the best of the cowboys but, the only one I just loved and enjoyed is just this one DVD of "Super Stars And Great Rides of Rodeo", which is the side-splittin', bone-jarrin', bronc-bustin' action for the best hilarious rip-roarin' rodeo hi-jinks collected on one hot video which covers all the best of "Super Stars And Great Rides of Rodeo" to watch bronco-busters and calf ropers, which I'll only keep watching forever and ever and this is the best one, yet ever with all the other six rodeo DVD's I like for the best years to come. As if the 2007 Wrangler NFR will be added in my rodeo someday as if I like the eight or just maybe the seven collection of rodeo DVD's.
   
   Once again one more time, it's rodeo time and you're about to see some of the wildest rides by some of the bravest (or craziest) cowboys. With hundreds of rides, wrecks and rodeos under their belts, these cowboys have earned the right to be called Super Star. Watch the sport's best in the events that made them famous: bull ridin', steer wrestlin', bronc bustin', and calf ropin'. We've collected some of the finest thrills and throws to prove once and for all that rodeo men are the toughest around. Side-splittin', bone-jarrin', bronc-bustin' action for the best hilarious rip-roarin' rodeo hi-jinks collected on one hot video of "Super Stars And Great Rides of Rodeo"!

1. John Hyams has done it again. This is a wonderful documentary that is beautifully photographed. It follows three champion bull riders all going for the same victory, all if them very different people. The documentary also covers the life of a rodeo clown as well as many other interviews. All in all this is a worthy follow up to his previous film "The Smashing Machine." I'm so glad this film is finally getting a proper release. So even if you're not interested in bull riding i think most people will find this doc fascinating.



2. This IFC documentary portrays the life of professional bull riders by focusing on three of the best - Justin McBride, Adriano Moraes, and Mike Lee - all competing in the 2004 Professional Bull Riders final in Las Vegas. The film does not glamorize these men; nor does it find particular fault with them. But it does heighten the viewer's awareness of the sport's risk of physical injury and the riders' almost incomprehensible disregard of it. The camera follows McBride as he hobbles everywhere on an ankle held together with pins. Moraes strips down to shorts to show the scars of all his injuries, and the camera captures his winces of pain after rides that tear further at the damaged bicep of his left arm. A long, jagged scar shows along the right side of Lee's head from surgery following a concussion.
   
   There is little talk of the million-dollar prize money, for these men are driven by a love of the sport that defies logic. Meanwhile, we learn something of their personal lives. Two are married - one of them has two children - and we get to meet the women in their lives. One of the men is a born-again Christian, with a fatalistic belief in a God who has given him athletic gifts and may one day take his life in the arena. Another represents a beer-drinking, cussing cowboy stereotype at a considerable distance from anything resembling piety. The film also takes some time to introduce viewers to the professional bullfighters whose job is to keep the bulls distracted after riders have been thrown or have dismounted. The film begins and ends with the Oklahoma stock growers who provide the bulls for the events. For anyone with even the remotest curiosity about this death-defying sport, this well-made film is illuminating and riveting. Also recommended: a fictional film about bull riding, "Cowboy Up."



3. This was a very interesting movie and at the same it was funny in parts. It is neat to see how the bull riders are in person and in the arena!



4. Howdy folks,
   I am an ex-rodeo cowboy for the PRCA back in 1990-92.I did three events and even won an title.When I seen this flick,I was thinking, "this is going to put butterflies in my tummy." and i was wrong, yeah it was good for as the bulls go but the riders, well, this flick made me ashame of how they presented themselves on here.In the PRCA there is a set of rules we have to live by and we have to be professional at all times. there is no room for mistakes, either you make it or you dont.Over the years rodeos have gotten easy, i guess now you can say, City Fi Rodeos now. They have helmets and vest and so many other items as for the bullfighters they have new pads on and new uniforms, in the PRCA we still wear the old ways of bullfighting and other events, seen here in the PBR, it seems to be more Glam Crap and no brainers in this sport.There is only a few who is up the the PRCA code of life.The rest is pretty much a fith grade mind of bullriders.I was hurt when i seen this doc and when some of the cowboys spoke, they had no respect for their Organazations and live up to the code.When the file was letting the cowboys speak on their own terms away from the rodeos and at home, the subjects they spoke of, they spoke like they did not know what the heck to say and their ideals on certain subjects were very little info. like for example, "why people like to hunt? well i think people like to hunt just cause, well they like to hunt." we could bring a caveman to this sport and ask the same question about hunting and i am sure the caveman would give more details on why they hunt and a better ideal in philosophy in hunting. the way the cowboy said this on the film makes us true hard core hard working cowboys look dumb and no brains. People if you see this dont judge all cowboys by what these few men act and say. many of us is wise to life, i guess rodeo is getting men with no brainers in the sport and it is very sad. I miss ty and tuff and jim sharp and cody custer, men like them is top of the line men and cowboys and back in them days, we were damn good at what we did and what we know of the sport and in life. now days, it looks like the modern day cowboy is killing the old west codes and soonthere will be just DQ cowboys left in this nation which is sad to see and know. god help us cowboys if this is going on.one more thing i did not like about this flick, they cut the sound offf from the real cowboys when riden', when you see some of the special features they show that there were stunt men maken' the noise maken' you think you really hear the hits and poundings from the cowboys and it is not real, it was special effects who made the sounds of the rodeo and not the real sounds of a real fall or sound when hit hard by the bull or ground.this made me really think this is a rip off from what is real and not real. so if your a fan of the PBR and you dont care about if the sound of a cowboy falling is not them and was made by special effects sounds then you will be happy, but if you want to real thing 100% then you wont be happy but if you like to collect rodeo films then go ahead and get this just to collect but dont judge us by this film thanks.

5 comments about Black Cloud.

1. I like Eddie Spears, so I really wanted to like this movie. Unfortunately, he played a character almost identical to that of Shane in Dreamkeeper (2003).
   
   Actually, Black Cloud shares several plot lines with Dreamkeeper: the absence of a positive father figure in the young man's life; a girlfriend whose father isn't too pleased that his daughter is hanging out with Shane/Black Cloud; the wise grandfather who dies in his sleep when his grandson finally gets the message what it means to be an American Indian; the young man (sort of) coming to terms with his father before riding off on a horse.
   
   Rick Schroeder hinted at many, if not most of the problems on Indian reservations. However, this movie would have been better if he had chosen one main theme, explored it more and developed the relationships between the characters better.
   
   I just hope Eddie Spears won't remain stuck in the role of "angry young American Indian"!



2. This story was well played by a stellar Native American cast. Considering Native Americans have not been employed to play Native AMericans until the last few years, it was so encouraging to see this movie! It had a good plot, good camera work and throughly entertaining.



3. When I read customer reviews about this film, I had mixed feelings about whether I should take the time to even watch it. So when I made up my mind to order it, I had to rent it to see if I'd made the right choice. I'm glad I did, because this film touched me.
   Here's this young twenty-something year old Black Cloud who is trying to live a good life. He's a up and coming boxer who has this great girl and tries to make a honest and meaningful perspective on his life. Then he finds out that his veins flow the blood of white men who, from his point view, are the bain of existence because of what his people have suffered under the white man's reign. That's where self-destruction takes Black Cloud on an emotional rollercoaster, and he begins to make decisions that he'll eventually regret.
   Losing himself in what he has learned to be his doomed heritage, Black Cloud turns his back on everything that he once stood for. He quits boxing, breaks up with the love of his life, Sammie, and hangs with the crowd that were once losers in his eyes.
   With a drunk for a father, and noone else to turn to, he finally seeks advice about his mixed blood heritage from his grandfather who spiritually and emotionally guides him to the truth.
   As Black Cloud comes to terms with who he really is and accepts it, he begins to slowly pull his life back together.
   It definitelely wasn't what I expected. This film is much more to the eye when really studied. You'd definitely have to watch it more than once to get where its coming from. For a film that had a budget of just under a million dollars, I thought it was brilliant. The cinematography just made me want to be in the film myself. It was capturing and cast a new light on Native American acting.
   Good job, Mr. Schroeder!



4. My entire family is passing this video through their homes. My children and I enjoyed it upon its arrival to our home as well =)



5. wish it had more interaction with the wonderful characters beautiful landscapes less fighting.but that is what the movie was about.........

5 comments about Cowboy Up.

1. This movie could have been so much more than it is. It offers up more wasted potential than an "American Idol" audition.
   
   First, there's the angle of the absent father. While we're thrown some teasers - and even a pseudo-reunion between him and Ely - we are not ultimately emotionally satisfied with the outcome. There's no real resolution, no deep truth.
   
   Then there's the angle of the "love triangle." This never took off, simply because Celia and Hank had no further interaction once she and Ely took up together. And then, Ely parted ways with her entirely. Through all this, Hannah delivers no stunning performance. Her character is fairly two-dimensional at best.
   
   And then there's the "drive to win" that Ely is supposed to evince. This never really appears. We're just supposed to understand how driven he is by his brooding looks and foolhardy acts.
   
   I will give kudos to the slow motion filming sequences in the beginning and the end. They are affective. However, we could've done with a little less bull drool flying through the air like a trapeze act.
   
   All in all, this movie is plagued by wasted potential. The waste of Molly Ringwald's character is especially troubling. Why even introduce her, if she isn't going to play a pivotal role in what happens with Ely and Hank? A lot of this film seeming plodding and pointless.
   
   I wanted to like this movie. I truly did. I'm a whopping huge PBR fan, and desperately wanted to like this movie. However, the movie itself prevented me from doing so.



2. I don't typically like cowboy/rodeo/country-western movies because those types of things aren't really my style. But this movie was a pleasant surprise; I did enjoy the story, and as a film, it wasn't half bad. It may or may not be a favorite in its genre, but I found it entertaining. Sutherland and Thomas play Hank & Eli quite well, and as usual Daryl Hannah is perfect in her role (who, fittingly, is a vegetarian). Molly Ringwald, I'll admit, did seem a tad useless as the movie went on--not Ringwald herself, exactly, but her character's importance. As far as rodeo movies go, this is a pretty cute one. Celia does sort of fall out of the story too fast, and the entire sad ending is focused on--to me at least--showing the absurdity of riding an animal who can kill you, as a sport. It destroyed not only the dead rider's life but his family's too. Thankfully the bull goes free at the end and does not have to pay with its life for the sad fate of the man.



3. Young Ely Braxton (Marcus Thomas) is an up and coming rodeo bull rider who suffers a movie opening Serious Injury. Brother Hank (Kiefer Sutherland) is the responsible older brother who raises bulls, teaches a zen-ish style of bull riding (`Empty your heart of hate before you ride,' that kind of thing) and is a rodeo clown - the fellow who distracts the bull after its thrown his rider and, reasonably enough from the bull's point of view, wants to crush into pulp the prone body of the thrown rider.
   
   I've kind of made a point of searching out and watching rodeo movies. There aren't a lot of them, and most concentrate on the maverick qualities of the rodeo rider. Always a bull rider, by the way. Most, too, feature some heavy hitters - guys like Steve McQueen and Cliff Robertson - in the lead roles. COWBOY UP is a little different. Bull riding is more of a backdrop here, a setting against which sibling rivalry, a search for a lost father, and some sticky romantic entanglements can be played out. Not that we don't get a LOT of slow-motion shots of mucus draining bulls bucking and snorting and doing their best to toss and trample their tormenters (again, `tormenters' from the bull's point of view.) It's just there's a whole lot more soap than horse in this opera.
   
   Which wouldn't be so bad if the second lead, Marcus Thomas, was a polished actor. Unfortunately his one expression seems to be that of stunned introspection, as thought on the first day of the shoot a crew member had asked him a preposterous question that he couldn't get out of his head. Thomas is talking to a grip, say, on that first day, and the grip wonders out loud whether birds would have to fly if they had opposable thumbs. Thomas guffaws, of course, but every time the studio lights fire up the question returns to gnaw at him, and when he should be `in the moment,' or whatever it is actors say, with movie girlfriend Connie (Molly Ringwald,) instead he's picturing a southbound autumn highway with clusters of hitchhiking ducks.
   
   I'm not sure it matters, anyway. The story's kind of an ill-fitting hybrid to begin with. Things become more complicated later when young Ely hooks up with pretty rodeo horse rider Celia Jones (Daryl Hannah,) brother Hank's old flame, which supplies just enough plot to propel the film to the grand finale. Ely's search for his missing father is resolved, although that search was so unstressed in the movie I didn't even realize it was a Big Issue until it was on me. And, of course, as in almost all rodeo movies, Ely gets to ride the big bull, preferably the one who threw him earlier. In this case the big bull is Zapata, one of brother Hank's bulls, in fact.
   
   I've never been a big fan of Kiefer Sutherland, but he's great in this one. Ringwald, Hannah, and Melinda Dillon - the mother in both `Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and `The Christmas Story' - are wasted as sideline fodder who have little more to do than seduce or wring their hands and hope Ely gets some sense and give up the bull riding. The highlight of the movie for me came when, while Hannah and Thomas were deep in their fling, Ringwald and Sutherland shared a piece of consolation pie at the local diner. Ringwald, inevitably I guess, says to Sutherland, `In a different world you and I would have made a lot more sense.' Hey, Molly - in a different and better movie you and Sutherland would have made a lot more sense, too. COWBOY UP might appeal to hard-core rodeo fans, but the rest of us would be better advised to steer clear of this one.



4. Well, it's a fictious story about a bull rider and his familiy. The story is not an effort of imagination but the film depictes very well the life in a ranch and the cowboy way of life.



5. this movie is terrible !! if you are a rodeo person dont waste your money.
