    Last night I watched a great movie, The Horse Whisperer, directed by the late Robert Redford. Its scenery is spectacular, story line unusual and thought provoking, the cast excellent. At the end, I said out loud to his spirit, "Well done Robert." You can watch this movie (free) on Tubi. #Redford

    Here’s a first look at my new Alien Earth poster artwork. It started life as a little homage to The Horse Whisperer movie poster… but along the way it took on a life of its own and became something completely different. Really happy with how this one evolved — hope you enjoy the final piece!

    I'm sort of a one-man band when it comes to beating the drum for THE HORSE WHISPERER, but I think it's one of Redford's finest, as both a director and an actor. #RIPRobertRedford filmfreakcentral.net/2012/10/the-...

    THE HORSE WHISPERER is a sublime Robert Redford movie—one of his best works as a director and actor—and I’ll fight anyone who claims otherwise.

    When I heard Sam Neill had passed away, the first thing I thought of was actually his climactic monologue in THE HORSE WHISPERER, which I wrote a bit about here. He's barely in the film, but he almost walks away with it. filmfreakcentral.net/2012/10/the-...

    Thinking about RR tonight, as I was posting about losing the great ones like himself and Dolly. The slaughter of these noble animals would just enrage him. Ironically, my favorite RR movies are "The Electric Horseman" and "The Horse Whisperer." Basically any movie where Robert Redford saves a horse.

    There's also the absolute classic of bad reviews, "Captain America is not a horse", where a German movie reviewer went into Captain America: The Winter Soldier expected a sequel to The Horse Whisperer, because Robert Redford and Scarlett Johansson were in both.

    I know this isn’t a popular choice in memoriam but one of my favorite Sam Neill roles was his supporting role in The Horse Whisperer. Loved him in everything else, yes, but loved his quiet presence in that film…as well as his portrayal of a city slicker when in real life he was just as ranch as Bob.

    The way he and Chris Evans talked about working with Redford on the press junket for the movie reminded me of Scarlett Johansson, but from when she was 14 on the press junket for The Horse Whisperer. Kind of wide eyed and still a little awestruck.

    RIP Robert Redford. My family had a connection with a film made by Robert. "The Horse Whisperer" used a cabin that was on my Great Grandparents ranch where my Grandfather raised my mother and my Aunt. The cabin was chosen by Robert Redford and moved upstream from where it was and added another cabin

    Shit, now I'm deep in the rabbit hole. I'm pretty sure it was about Buck Brannaman, "The Horse Whisperer" inspiration. Scarlett Johansson was a child actor for that movie. I'm getting sucked into side-tunnels. The piece I'm thinking of is lost, but in a few days I'll be able to write a dissertation.
