BRILLIANT MASTERPIECES -- FORGOTTEN GEMS
Budd Boetticher's classic westerns finally arrive as a set in nice clean transfers. They are long overdue in a digital format and have been highly anticipated by film buffs as well those who treasure a view of Americana that includes honor, duty and a love of the landscape -- the majestic canvas on which we play out our lives. The films have been detailed elsewhere. My favorite and perhaps ...

A Superb Religious Epic Finally Restored.
Following a long-overdue restoration process, this 2-Disc special edition of MGM's epic Quo Vadis is finally available. Quo Vadis easily ranks among Ben-Hur, The Greatest Story Ever Told, and The Ten Commandments as one of the greatest religious epics ever. Adapted from Henryk Sienkiewicz's 1895 historical novel, Quo Vadis, the 1951 film stars Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr, Leo Genn, Peter ...

One of Joel McCrea's best
After 1945, Joel McCrea, like his friend and contemporary "cowboy" Randy Scott, acted almost exclusively in Westerns. Several of those he made for Universal stand out---CATTLE DRIVE, SADDlE TRAMP, and BORDER RIVER, in particular. But he also made THE OUTRIDERS (MGM), WICHITA (Allied Artists), and several others of very good quality [let's hope these get released on silver disc soon!]. STRANGER ON ...

Just to correct the record
The previous review states that THE BIG TRAIL in 70mm Grandeur is lost. Not true. In fact, you'll find it listed in Amazon as part of a two disc set which include both widescreen and 4:3 And it's an excellent print.

The Man from the Alamo [Region 2]

7 reviews
Glenn Ford, Julie Adams

Great Glenn Ford Western
While many reviewers criticize the accuracy of the portrayal of the Alamo battle, this is a great film that deals with the hardships endured by a man who does the right thing even though it causes him to be exposed to hardship and ridicule. Ford plays John Stroud, a freedom fighter at the Alamo, and one of a group of men whose families are threatened by Yankee renegades who fight with the ...

Our thanks to Universal...for Great Western fare
This is volume 2 of two box sets to be released by Universal, and containing some mighty fine oaters. If past history is any guide, the transfers will excellent, the color great, and the presentation superior! THE TEXANS was one Randolph Scott's first major "A" Western roles, and while the film was criticized as a bit "wooden," it nevertheless is an entertaining film that details the great ...

Colt .45/Tall Man Riding/Fort Worth
If you like the Randolph Scott/Bud Boetticher western series (I wonder if the 6(?) remaining collaborations, besides "7 Men From Now", will ever be released?), you will like these well written western dvds. Made from outstanding source materials, the dvd picture quality is excellent. No, Boetticher did not direct any of these three films but they do have the adult attitude of those Scott ...

Seven Men From Now (Special Collector's Edition)

Randolph Scott, Gail Russell

Paramount, 2005

Overlooked Western Classic
Maybe Randolph Scott's best movie, 7 Men from Now is an overlooked classic of the western genre. Scott is a revenge minded former sheriff, who is gunning for the 7 outlaws that killed his wife in a hold up. This familiar storyline is sparked by great supporting characters. Great performances by Scott, a young Lee Marvin and Gail Russell. Highly recommended.

Behind Locked Doors

Lucille Bremer, Richard Carlson

Kino Video, 2000

What kind of a joint is this?
There's something spare and muscular about Budd Boetticher's 1948 BEHIND LOCKED DOORS. Storytelling without any frills or ruffles, I guess you could say. A lean 62-minute, Poverty Row thriller that Kino International files under "film noir" because, well, noir sells. And because any film with deep shadows and venetian blinds can pass nowadays. Besides, you have to justify a rather inflated ...

The Rifleman (Vol. 1)

Edgar Buchanan, John Harmon

Mpi Home Video, 2001

Terrific, Peckinpah-Directed Episodes Best
The first episode (pilot episode) is the best. Episodes handled by Sam Peckinpah are the best because they have a somewhat harder "edge" and never get "sappy" as this series did in its last year or so (this DVD has the most Peckinpah episodes). Too bad we get shortchanged, this DVD needs at least two more espisodes. DVD's longer service life makes it worthwhile to upgrade to have the best ...

We need a complete "Rifleman" DVD collection
I am happy to have a selection of "Rifleman" television episodes available for purchase, make no mistake about it. It is my personal favorite classic television western, and I am a very devoted to the series. I grew up watching it during my pre-school years, and have remained a fan ever since. But the current DVD offerings simply do not do justice to the legacy of that show. What is needed ...

Here's the deal, Lucas McCain is incredible with a rifle. In fact, he has rigged his rifle so he can twirl it around and get off repeated shots in a very short amount of time. A man of peace, Lucas moves to New Mexico to start a new life after his wife dies, and he is left with his son, Mark, to raise in what he hopes will be a new and better kind of world, one with less violence. ...

The film quality is good and the movies are ok. Human Gorilla is the best, even though the title has little to do with the movie.

For the ultimate Mel Gibson fan
If you're a Mel Gibson fan, don't miss this movie. It's his sexiest movie ever and, for the male population, Michele Pfeiffer is in it too and how! It's not just steamy, it's really hot!
