I had actually watched The Searchers earlier in the day, and while Appaloosa does not come close for cinematography, they did hit enough of those desert landscapes that I loved the visuals. The house being pelted by sand, the natives coming through the brush, even the walkup to Bragg's saloon I thought all looked great. Even the moment when the three riders cross the river and bulldoze their way into Bragg's men had some nice oomph behind it. Not a great director maybe, and not sure if I was in an overly good mood, but it was enough for me to sit back and appreciate it. So few westerns are made these days, that maybe I need to be content to really enjoy the mediocre ones :-)
