Robert Silva of AMC TV writes a semi-regular blog about Western movies that’s worth checking out. His latest is a compilation of Western movie stereotypes. It’s a bit snarky … but pretty funny.

Silva also has posts about great Western sidekicks; the good, bad, and ugly remakes; classic indian roles; “steamy” Westerns; the profusion of actors who have portrayed Billy the Kid; the profusion of actors who have portrayed Wyatt Earp; the best of Robert Duvall etc.
The blog is effectively a piece of marketing for AMC and upcoming broadcasts, but it’s still nice to see someone out there thinking about the movies we love.
