           Received the DVD of "Ghost Town" today. Couldn't wait until a later   
   day to watch it.   
      
           The basic story is that Sheriff Teaster is killed by (?) Burnett and   
   five or six of his   
   men. The son, Harmon Teaster sees it and kills everyone one including   
   Burnett's wife. He then goes   
   up into to mountains and marries a Cherokee woman. 25 years later, Harmon is   
   an old man who is   
   sick. His daughter, Violet, goes into the town to get medicine. When Burnett's   
   son, Victor, finds   
   out, his men grab her and they beat on her pretty bad trying to find out where   
   Teaster is; she   
   won't talk. An Indian friend of Harmon's goes looking for her. He brings her   
   back and now Harmon is   
   out for revenge. They go into town and everyone is scared, mainly because of   
   Harmon's reputation   
   and the stories of the slaughter. There is the final shootout in the street.   
      
        Renee, "Little Jack", didn't show up until about 30 minutes into the   
   movie. LJ goes into a   
   saloon to get her drunken father, nicknamed Jackknife, before he shoots   
   someone or gets shot. About   
   ten minutes later Victor calls in his gang to have them search for Violet.   
   Little Jack is in the   
   gang. She was in and out of various scenes and had a few lines toward the end.   
   Although she wears a   
   pistol, her weapon of choice is a rifle.   
      
        After Harmon kills a couple of men at night, the final shootout is the   
   next day. Victor has   
   about 6 or 8 guns on his side. Some of the townspeople are tired of Victor's   
   ways and back up   
   Harmon and the sheriff and his deputy. There is a total of maybe 15 people   
   involved in the   
   shootout, but only five or six survive.   
      
        The movie started out kind of slow with flashbacks and forwards which was   
   kind of confusing.   
   But after a while things were starting to get interesting as the climax drew   
   closer. Some of the   
   dialog was clichéd and the cuts between the actors talking could have been   
   better. There were some   
   familiar faces, but not familiar enough that there names came to mind.   
      
        All in all it wasn't that bad.  I would give it a 6.5 or 7 out of 10.    
   More Reneé might have   
   boosted it higher, but I'm not so sure what more she could have done since she   
   wasn't one of the   
   main characters.   
      
        I'll probably watch it again Saturday, and now that I know what's going   
   on, I'm sure I will   
   see things I missed this time around.
