Kevin Costner Movie Elimination Game

All right, now if you've never played, here's how it works--I post a list of all of Kevin Costner's movies, and give each of them 10 points. Then I add a point (+) to my favorite and subtract a point (-) from my least favorite. The next person then does the same adding and subtracting (his or her fav/least fav). Also, once a movie runs out of points, it is gone. It cannot be resurrected! You are allowed to vote once a day. The last one standing is his most popular / best movie, as determined by us!

Waterworld

This is an unpopular movie, and I don't see why it is so. Admittedly, it is unbelievable, but so are James Bond films. There was enough action in this one to keep thriller buffs going all the way through. Costner did a good job portraying a lonely vagabond in a crazy, violent world. Dennis Hopper, as usual, was an effective villain; he kept me laughing all the way with his insane antics, and his stupid henchmen. I have to wonder, however, if the full nude shot of the girl was really the actress I had been watching. With clothes on, she didn't look all that well endowed. Not a bad movie, really.

Dances with Wolves (1990)

Capsule review:  Epic portrait of a Sioux tribal life as      seen through the eyes of a Civil War officer.  American      Indians have rarely or never been portrayed so believably and      sympathetically.  Its biggest flaw is that the White Man does      not seem as realistically portrayed.  The films resembles      WHITE DAWN and FAREWELL TO THE KING in plot and spirit.      Rating: high +2 (-4 to +4).

Dances With Wolves: Review

The plodding vanity project of star, director, and co-producer Kevin Costner, this three-hour-plus revisionist western, much of it in subtitled Sioux language, shocked movie-industry observers by becoming a huge hit and garnering 12 Oscar nominations, winning seven, including Best Picture and Best Director. The Sioux gave the film their own rave review by admitting Costner as a full tribal member.

Dances With Wolves

By now you probably know — the word is out — Kevin Costner's "Dances With Wolves" is both an amazing accomplishment for a fledgling director and a solid box-office success among audiences in cities where the film has played for the past two weeks. And now, after opening around the rest of the country, it is doubtless perched on the edge of becoming an even bigger hit.

Dances with Wolves (1990)

Disenchanted after being wounded in the American Civil War, Lt Dunbar (Costner) is assigned to a frontier outpost. Finding nothing but a deserted fort and left to his own devices, Dunbar gradually gains the friendship and trust of both a wolf and the Sioux Indians. Won over by the native Americans' love of the land, the honourable soldier joins in their buffalo hunt, courts a white woman the tribe adopted in childhood, transfers allegiance from predatory white man to peaceful Indian, and discovers en route his true self.

Film Review

Kevin Costner's Dances With Wolves is a shining parable about hospitality, a human resource that seems to be underrated and in short supply in a world rife with hostilities between neighbors and nations. With a screenplay by Michael Blake, the film is set on the Dakota plains during the 1860s as white settlers began their westward journey into the homelands of Native Americans.

Lo, the Poor Indian

A mark of the overall quality of Dances with Wolves is that it survives repetitious commercial breaks, reduction of images and relocation from the dark magic of the movie theater to a distracting living room. Overseas when the film was released in 1990, I did not catch golden boy Kevin Costner’s directorial début until years afterwards, only a few minutes’ worth at that and dubbed on the small screen. So two evenings ago was my first real viewing of all three hours plus one minute.

Dances With Wolves [MGM UA, Special Edition]

Kevin Costner plays the Everyman better than almost anybody else. But in "Dances With Wolves" he does more than act out another "Ah, shucks" Gary Cooper role; he is in epic mode. Fortunately, the film is not so long-winded as his later oversized extravaganzas, "Wyatt Earp," "Waterworld," or "The Postman." Instead, "Dances With Wolves" though now more lengthy than ever is poetic and visionary, a story of tragedy, grace, and personal discovery. The movie won seven Academy Awards in 1990 for Best Film, Director, Writing, Cinematography, Film Editing, Music, and Sound.

Spielberg, Zemeckis Flicks Immortalized

Robert Zemeckis' 1985 time-travel opus Back to the Future was selected along with Steven Spielberg's 1977 UFO tale Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Kevin Costner's 1990 revisionist western Dances with Wolves among the 25 movie classics to be preserved for posterity by the the Library of Congress' National Film Registry.
