Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Texas Tom" is an American 6.5-minute cartoon from 1950, so this one is already over 650 years old and as an MGM production by Hanna Barbera, it is of course another Tom&Jerry cartoon and the title here gives away that it is a very rare journey by the world's most known cat-and-mouse duo into the western genre. Fittingly Tom looks like a cowboy for the most part. But while, I love myself a good western for sure, this was not working out at all here. The duo at the house is just far more poignant and funny, even if I can kinda understand they were trying to add new aspects to the long-running cartoon series. Another thing I did not like as usual is when they are talking, even if it is singing, and as some of the comedy here, like a crucial joke on Tom's voice changing, results from the speaking component, it had a negative impact on the overall outcome here. Yes here and there was an okay moment, but as a whole it was certainly not entertaining enough for me to recommend checking it out. The rating here on IMDb seems far too high. And the ending was another letdown as Jerry in love is fine, but please not with a cat regardless of her being Tom's love interest or not. This is really only for T&J completionists. I give it a thumbs-down.

Tweekums This short finds Tom and Jerry on a Texas dude ranch where Tom is tormenting Jerry by lassoing him and dragging him over such thing as spurs and a cactus plant. Tom gets bored of this when an attractive female cat turns up and starts wooing her; first demonstrating his cigarette rolling skills then miming along to a record. This goes well until Jerry starts changing the speed causing Tom to mime very quickly then very slowly. The two of them soon end up fighting again but Tom comes off worse as Jerry enlists the help of the bull!This short is packed full of great gags; my personal favourite was when Tom was about to shoot Jerry with a revolver; Jerry blows down the barrel leaving the six bullets in Tom's mouth, Jerry takes the pistol off him, hits him on the back of the head and all of the bullets fire! With such a quick fire succession of gags if one doesn't amuse you another will come along in a matter of seconds! The attention Tom have the female cat was pretty fun and even though a modern cartoon would never show a character being so cool by smoking that section was particularly funny. If you are a fan of Tom and Jerry this one is definitely worth watching.

movieman_kev Tom the Cat is having fun with Jerry the mouse in the old West lassoing him up. Until a girl cat comes along and sets Tom's heart on fire. He waists no time in trying to woo her. Of course Jerry doesn't want Tom happy. So he, along with some help from a bull, try to put the kibosh on Tom's chance at love. The hit to miss joke ratio in this one is greatly in favor of the hits. And it's very enjoyable throughout. Of course I'm biased as i pretty much love anything by the cat & mouse duo. This hilarious classic cartoon can be found on disc two of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry" My grade: A

rbverhoef Tom and Jerry are in Texas as cowboys. When a beautiful female cat arrives Tom falls instantly in love and tries to be really cool. Of course Jerry makes sure he has not got a single chance.This is one of the funniest cartoons from Tom and Jerry. Every joke is a good one and the songs used are quite good as well and perfect for the story. Simply great.
