~From Mad Men to GunSlinger~"Sweetwater"~

The Times...they are a Changing! Now you may remember "Betty Draper"(January Jones) as the beautifully dressed ex-wife of Don Draper on the popular series "Mad Men"_

Introducing, Sarah Ramirez (January Jones) as a "Gunslinger/Gunfighter" a word usually reserved for men in the American Old West movies that had gained a reputation as being dangerous with a gun!! Now, here's a movie you gotta see because she is "DANGEROUS" with a Gun & a Rifle!!!

 Normally, I stay away from Movies/TV shows with a lot of violence ...heck,I can see that on the 5 o'clock News. When you really think about it_ most Baby Boomers grew up on violent cartoons, Westerns,etc. We all laughed when these things happened on cartoons...looking back...it was the beginning of violence gone bad as it stands today!

             Modern day..."The Simpson's"!

That being said...I was curious about January Jones acting skills beyond "Mad Men". She did not disappoint!!!!

This was a "Sub-Genre "Western (Revenge) movie in which the plot involves an elaborate "chase and pursuit" with elements of a classic mystery & thriller story. Guess what?? It was NOT_a male cowboy gunslinger wearing a Stetson Hat, spurs or a bandanna....oh Guns & Rifles were involved_BUT..it was a Gunslinging "WOMAN SHERO"with a pretty parasol to match her dress!!Most of us Baby Boomers grew up watching Westerns, on TV. BUT_ the Heroes were all Males.Most women like Dale Evans and Dorothy Page were "singing cowgirls". Otherwise it was_The Rebel, Gunsmoke, Riflemen, Have Gun Will Travel, Wagon Train, Riflemen, etc. "A Man's World".This is a great link to learn about the History of Westerns dating back to the 1900s...
