Women of the West

The WOMEN OF THE WEST series over at Not Coming to a Theatre Near you is coming on apace and moving like a stampede - I loved the feature on Destry Rides Again written by Evan Kindley. When you check it out look in the right hand sidebar for other posts in the series.

Women of the West part two

Cullen Gallagher's excellent series, Women of the West continues with a look at 1918's The Gun Woman - once this series is complete it's going to be an excellent reference as Cullen's gone right back to the dawn of cinema for this series which could prove to be the definitive study of babes on the frontier.

WILD WEST BABES or "come up and see me sometime.'

There's a great series of articles relating to women in the westerns HERE. Cullen writes passionately about his subjects and is one of my favourite reviewers on the net so you'd be crazy not to visit and check out each entry as it's posted.

Writer/Critic Cullen Gallagher of the excellent Pulp Serenade tell us:

"I'm quite excited because a Western series I've been working on for some months has finally hit the net! It's called "Women of the West," and appears at Not Coming to a Theater Near You, a movie review site that I write for. The series comprises about 20 reviews of Westerns made between 1917 and 1995, and included some much-loved classics and a bunch of forgotten, rare gems that I hope people will be excited about. The introduction was just posted on the site, and the reviews will begin appearing on Monday, July 27th - one a day for twenty days. It's the first Western-themed series the site has tried, and I'm hoping that if it is popular and gets a lot of hits then that will convince them to feature more of them. I don't want to ruin the surprise of the films we selected, but I hope you'll check in to see what the series has in store."


Get over there, Archive readers - anything western related finds favour with us. Oh and sticking firmly in the West this evening The Archive will post a Marcus Galloway interview.

All this almost makes you want to yell - 'Yeeeehaw!!!!'
