So Hollywood is holding it’s breath to see how Kevin Costner’s 3 hour western epic, Horizon: An American Epic Part One will do this weekend when it opens Thursday. Costner haters are quick to point out the pre-sales are horrible! That is true, however make no mistake, in my opinion, this is an epic, great movie, but the haters and the 3 hour length may kill it! The haters point out Costner’s 1994 western Wyatt Earp was also a Box Office flop. An interesting sidebar, I loved the Wyatt Earp movie and did you know Earp, the famed cowboy actually died in 1929 in Los Angeles and was a LAPD cop, and Wyatt was 81 years old when he expired.
TV News and Update: I was a little rough on the CBS show Elsbeth. I called it silly, corny and lame. Well Elsbeth has been renewed for a second season. And it’s still a little corny and the writing is weak, however it’s not bad compared to some of the junk out there, like the reboot and second season renewal of Frazier.
