Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia - fpw - 05-21-2005
I remembered liking this way back when, so I rented the new DVD.
What (besides all the bare breasts) did I ever see in it? The acting is bad, the plotting clunky, the dialogue atrocious, the shootouts unbelievable (in the true sense of the word).
I think Peckinpah was trying to recapture the feel of The Wild Bunch, but there's no redemption here. Just an exercise in nihilism that left me cold.
Sometimes you can't go back.

Sometimes, I feel like that by other movies(Not Peckinpah),too. Once my favorite movie is now boring. For example "Helloween"....Yes, I know. I can hear everybody saying "Helloween" is Carpenter's best movie. When I was teenager, for the first time, I saw "Helloween". I remember that I felt scary it. But now I'm not afraid of it.
By the way, I've never seen "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia", but I saw The Wild Bunch. That was great movie.

I remember loving the title but not liking the movie. You've reminded me why. Guess I can skip revisiting this one.
