Maverick/Wild Wild West (DBFE) (DVD)
Will Smith. Mel Gibson. Smile when you say that, pardner. The two show how the West was fun in comic Westerns inspired by classic TV shows. Smith winningly shoots from the hip and lip as Wild Wild Wests James West [Side A], a government agent out to stop Arliss Loveless (Kenneth Branagh) gadget-driven attempt to form a Disunited States of America. With Kevin Kline and Salma Hayek. Popular stars Gibson (as Bret Maverick), Jodie Foster and James Garner ante up for Mavericks winner- take-all riverboat poker tourney (where Bret aims to do all the taking) [Side B]. But first the trio must journey there a rollicking, danger- packed journey with more close calls than a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs. Enjoy!
