Last night I rented SOUTH OF HEAVEN WEST OF HELL on dvd. I was expecting the typical western. It wasn't. It seems as if Dwight used the early 1900's and the traditional western theme as a structure for telling an interesting tale. While he pays tribute to a few classic western films, he didn't make yet another western.
Overall, I think Dwight and company did a fine job. I have read many reviews here at IMDb of people who hated the film, and, from the voting, it looks like there are many others who share that feeling. I am not sure what people find so bad. Granted, the movie was not perfect, but it was good enough that I think Dwight has a potential in writing and directing.
The story is interesting...if you get it. The filming was good, and it had plenty of beautiful Arizona scenery. Vince Vaughn and Luke Askew make a darn good bad guy, so good, I was cheering for them instead of Dwight. And, if nothing else, the comical parts of Agent Otts and U.S. Christmas make the movie worth watching.
I thought the movie was very entertaining. It had a David Lynch like feel which I enjoy: It was very aware of the absurd. Unfortunately there were a couple of scenes that were annoying to the point of nearly spoiling the entire film. Dwight excessively smooches with not one, but two pretty girls. (Are you beginning to get the feeling that I don't like him as a lead actor?) Each of the Dunfries brothers has an emotional breakdown and ruins otherwise splendid scene.
One of these tantrums is during what could have been one of my all time favorite movie scenes. Billy Bob Thorton, Briget Fonda, and Dwight Yoakam are having what Dwight called a dada conversation. Billy Bob is presenting a key piece of information in riddle like form, and Burl Dunfries is carrying on like a lunatic on PCP. The overbearing acting does not lend to the chaos, but instead, overwhelms it.
For what it's worth. I gave it 8 out of 10. I do not see how anyone could give it less than five stars. Not a perfect movie, but there are many quality pieces in it.

I don't own many videos. I have the Ernst Ingmar Bergman collection, Dead Poets, and Wild at Heart. Wild at Heart was the first video I owned, and the one I've watched the most. I first saw it in the theater. It still disturbs me.
80% is the greatest movie ever. 10% is all right. 5% is there. 5% is just stupid without the right combination of alcohol and drugs.
It has more memorable quotes than you can shake a stick at. It has fantastic visuals throughout. The story is just cool. Some say it is dated. But, I can't see it. The basis is a love story. I feel that those who see it as dated are simply too close to the time period. It is a "timeless" love story. To the men: Laura Dern's breasts are timeless.
Lots of violence. Many sex scenes. Twisted dialog. Groovlicious shots of nothing important. Man on the toilet watching strippers. Heads busted open. Killer heavy metal riff repeated. Crazy lady with lipstick covering face. Sickening laughter. Hitmen. Crazy men. Bank robbery. Wiz-o-Oz.
Gotta see it. Twice at least.
