...have what everyone must have hoped was the perfect reverse spin on City Slickers. In The Cowboy Way, the two rubes have many stupid misadventures as they try to save a young woman from white slavery. The sheer laziness of the writing, direction and especially the playing by Woody Harrelson and Kiefer Sutherland is stunning. The stars seem to be improvising much of the time and winking to the audience, "Hey, folks, we're having a lot of fun!" Hey, guys...
...slew of Emmys, NBC stuck with it. The show would probably still be going strong if it weren't for star Ted Danson's decision to leave at the end of this season. "Our thinking was, we rolled the dice twice, when we replaced Nick Colasanto ((with Woody Harrelson)) and Shelley Long ((with Kirstie Alley)), and we won," says James Burrows, who created the show with Glen and Les Charles and has directed nearly every episode. "We didn't want to risk that again. It is better to leave early than to leave late...
...Granted, Diana, his quarry, looks uncannily like Demi Moore, but still, $1 million for a quickie? No doubt he gets off on control; there might have been an interesting movie in that. But this ga-ga film goes for the moral dilemma. Diana and her husband (Woody Harrelson) debate the offer forever before she accepts. They quarrel while Diana and her one-night stand get lovey-dovey, but then things turn out fine. Because director Adrian Lyne takes all this so slowly and seriously, Indecent Proposal is an inadvertent comedy. As such, it is much funnier than Honeymoon in Vegas...
Hard concrete courts, baking under the heat of the L.A. sun, and young men from the ghetto shaking out their frustrations by playing a kind of attack basketball -- all high-bouncing dazzle, nasty elbows and insults that come at you in rap rhythm. Billy Hoyle (Woody Harrelson) intrudes into this essentially black world with intent to hustle (gambling on these pickup games is heavy). Maybe WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP, but in all other respects he's a fully qualified player -- except possibly in the brains department. But smart Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes) has enough wit for both...
...first to try this gambit was Charles V. Harrelson, the Texas hit man who happens to be the father of Cheers star Woody Harrelson. Cornered by cops seeking to arrest him for assassinating a federal judge in Texas, Harrelson, according to Marrs, told lawmen that he was the guy who killed Kennedy. By the time he backed off the story, assassination buffs had already convinced themselves that they had photographic evidence of Harrelson's presence in Dealey Plaza that day. They had "positively" identified him as one of the mysterious "tramps" arrested near the crime scene after the assassination -- conveniently...
