Casey's Shadow

Customer Reviews:

Super Movie.......2007-05-06

Casey's Shadow is one of my favorite movies. It is really a classic, especially for horse racing fans.

Excellent DVD!.......2007-03-13

I thoroughly enjoy this movie. The acting is seemless--as if you are watching a real family interact. Walter Matthau is a horse trainer and father. His son, Casey, is a young boy whose best friend is a foal called "Casey's Shadow." Against all odds, the two-year old horse becomes a million-dollar champion. However, the story does not end there, which is one of many reasons that this film has such depth.

A movie from my childhood, now for my daughter.............2005-07-08

This was one on a list of movies that I made several years ago that I considered a "must have." As an adolescent, I remember watching this movie every chance that I could on a fledgling cable movie channel, and loved it each and every time that I saw it. Never saw it again, until I opened the Amazon package a couple of weeks ago, and sat down and watched it with my 11 year old daughter.

Not into horses myself, per se, but my in-laws, wife, and daughter are well into quarterhorses, and this movie made a huge impact on my daughter. Had to shake her pack down and recover the movie prior to her going to horsecamp last week!

A definite "must have" family movie with a slight exception to language....but nothing vulgar or in bad taste.

A real overlooked gem.......2004-12-29

Lloyd Bourdelle (Walter Matthau) is a penniless Cajun horse trainer who raises Quarterhorses on his bayou ranch. He's aided by his three sons: Business-minded Buddy (Andrew A. Rubin); talented jockey Randy (Steve Burns); and 7-year-old Casey (Michael Hershewe). When one of the Bourdelle's mares gives birth to a special colt called Casey's Shadow after the bond the foal and the boy immediately share, the family's fortunes turn. When the chestnut, blaze-faced colt grows up, he's taken to Ruidoso, New Mexico to race in the prestigious All-American Futurity. High drama is in the air when Casey's Shadow gets hurt before the big race: With Lloyd's eyes on the prize, will the colt be forced to race in spite of his injuries? And what about the rich man who wants to buy Shadow - will Casey be able to part with his dream horse? And what about those unscrupulous types who want to stop the speedy stallion from running in the Futurity? You'll just have to see it find out! Packs an emotional punch, is well-acted, funny, and entertaining.

Finally a movie for Quarter Horse people.......2003-09-15

This is my favorite horse movie. It shows that Quarter Horses are the common man's horse. Even though the movie is fiction, it shows that Quarter Horses can take you from the backyard to greatness. I feel a lot of pride as a Quarter Horse owner when I watch this movie.

Terrific Political Thriller !!!.......2007-09-05

This is a gem of a movie. Charlie Sheen does
the best that he is capable of.Donald Sutherland
is his usual brilliant self.It's about a shadow
government within the government that is trying
to run things.Sheen plays Billy Bishop,an advisor
to the president( ok,nobody can buy that)and he
accidently stumbles onto a shadow gov.That's when
the bodies start piling up.Despite Sheen,the story
itself is a really good political thriller.
That being said,save yourself some money and
buy this region 2 dvd from Amazon uk for less
than 1 pound!!!! About $3.00 US.

A lot of loose ends!.......2006-05-28

The film starts off good. Researchers are knocked off one by one by an assassin. Who is this man? Who does he work for? The film then takes bad turn by not explaining more in detail what's going on. The premise is there. There are moments of suspense. But, the execution just doesn't work. Blame the story and screenplay for that! By the end of this film, I wondered "why"? We don't get that answer and this film leaves a lot of loose ends. Marginal thumbs down.
