A heart-warming, light read
I am a fan of Maeve Binchy and A Week in Winter did not disappoint.
The story begins with Chicky Starr and her idea of setting up a B&B in a small coastal town of western Ireland. With the help of a few of her friends and family, her dreams become a reality and she soon welcomes her first guests.
The story continues to detail the reasons behind each of the guests stay at Stone House. I was eager to learn the cicumstances of each guest and how their situation improved upon staying at Stone House for that week in winter.

Wayne and Mitchum in a great western
A wandering gun for hire comes to the aid of his old friend, now a drunk local sheriff, when some bad men come into town and try and swindle a local family from their ranch's water. Along the way, he picks up a young knife-wielding sidekick to aid him in his quest.

One of the better Wayne westerns I have watched recently. Good action scenes, great acting and an interesting coherent story make this very memorable.

Great to see Wayne alongside Mitchum as well as a very young James Caan and Ed Asner.

Highly recommended.

Good Western
A very good and enjoyable film, nevertheless it didn't quite hit the heights I thought it would after all the hype. I haven't seen the '69 John Wayne version but imagine this is a lot "grittier". It's a good story, the acting especially from Bridges as the old scruffy US Marshall and the young girl is superb to watch with a witty script to boot. It just felt a little short and lacking a bit more action to be the epic master piece it has been heralded as. A very good film indeed but not up there in the westerns dept with Unforgiven, The Outlaw Josey Wales.
