Garden Of Evil is in 4 channel sound!!
Garden Of Evil a nice surprise if you have a Dolby Digital surround sound system in your home theater. 3 channels across the front with one surround channel in back. That mixed with the widescrren picture in Technicolor makes for an excellent presentation. The other 2 movies are only in mono in their original full screen format. Still they are prestine transfers. I'll be playing all 3 of these ...

Legends.
How do you ensure somebody's legacy as a hero? In the good old days, you wrote a book. Nowadays, you make a movie - and if you're lucky and it's really, really successful, you can retrospectively even make legends out of dangerous criminals. Not that that always works, of course. But with two great actors with instant chemistry (Paul Newman and Robert Redford), a script (by William Goldman) ...

Requires patience, but absorbes you along the way.
This is a story driven film. The real story to the nickel-comic tales Westerns have become. It's unfortunate that these kind of movies get pushed aside for more watered/dumbed-down story lines and shootouts when it comes to supporting the efforts at the ticket booth. This is not an action movie and the general public did not understand nor appreciate the subdued delivery of the events. Casey ...

The Wild Wild West Season 1
Glad to see this on DVD. The intro's by Robert Conrad are a good background to each episode. Was one of my favorite series and never understood why it was not in the rerun lineup. Looking forward to getting the remaining seasons.

Super Team
I remember this show when I was a teenager. It was a great show, not your typical western though. It was great to find it on dvd to add to my movie collections. There are about 28 movies all in clear picture with beautiful colors.

Excellent Adventure
I have read the book and watched the movie multiple times and it is still as exciting as the first time. Wonderful story and superb acting. What a great ride!!

There is a God in Heaven!
I'm so happy that Centennial is finally being released on dvd. The only reason we still have a vcr is to watch the vhs version of this miniseries. James Michener is a master storyteller and this adaption of his novel is superb. I remember eagerly awaiting each new installment on NBC and fell in love with the characters. The story will draw you in and keep you glued to your seat. You will come ...

Christian Bale, Russell Crowe

Lions Gate, 2008

Great old-school Western, solid Blu-Ray presentation!
3:10 to Yuma is a terrific remake of a classic American western. Christian Bale (great as always) is Dan, a pathetic rancher who, in desperate need of money, enlists in a posse to escort ruthless train robber Ben Wade (Russell Crowe, also turning in a noteworthy performance) to a town aptly called Contention and put him aboard the 3:10 train headed for Yuma prison. As their party endures losses ...

The Wild Wild West - Season Four
I was very happy to see more of this old series. I would have liked to have seen more information about the episodes themselves, such as the title of each episode, air date, and guest stars. My family has bought several of past seasons; the Wild Wild West is a FUN series that adults can enjoy but it is also appropriate of younger viewers!

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

A "Bad Movie We Love" Must-See!!!!
We who love Bad Movies positively worship David Selznick's overproduced, overwritten, overwrought DUEL IN THE SUN. This film was Selznick's futile effort to make a sex symbol our of his Oscar-winning girlfriend Jennifer Jones by casting her as a wanton half-breed Injun gal who makes men's blood turn to, well, firewater. You've got to wonder about the private life of any famed movie producer who ...

deadwoowd/3rd season
As usual with Deadwood,the third season DVD is excellent. If you've never had the golden opportunity to watch the series on HBO, you've missed the very ultimate in intelligent thought-provoking, sometimes hilarious television. The acting, writing, cinemotography are beyond compare with anything that's ever been done, or will ever be done on television. I was so upset with HBO when they so ...

United Artists, 2008

Late Cooper Western More Than Worth A Look
Man of The West was one of Gary Cooper's last Westerns, and he had transitioned from virile, youthfully exuberant characters to older, wizened, wiser, and scarred characters. In this film, directed by masterful director Anthony Mann, Cooper plays a leading citizen who is on his way to hire a schoolteacher. On route, the stagecoach he's on is robbed, leaving Cooper, a dancehall girl played by ...

The Quite Man
I have really enjoyed this movie. I enjoy the scenery as much as the movie it's self. Of course the actors are simply wonderful. I think the fight was great. I was glad to see it since John Wayne had vowed never to fight again. My Dad and I have watched it many times and will continue to do so.

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!
I'm speechless about this film. It is absolutely excellent in every way! I must have watched it 20-times and I never get tired of it. If you like westerns and/or are interested in Wyatt Earp, this is the movie to watch!

Deadwood - The Complete First Season

Hbo Home Video, 2005

Often misunderstood, brilliant show
So many people seem to have an ignorant, dismissive opinion of this show based on the language. Yes, it does take a little while to tune into, but you might want to consider doing a little homework before you shoot your mouth off about it being dumb, trivial, or especially "unrealistic". Milch painstakingly researched the history of the period and the kind of language used, and in fact a ...

Great Western
I think Louis L'Amour's Western books are some of the best ever written, and this movie is about as close to the book as you can get.

Blazing Saddles [Blu-ray]

12 reviews
Carol Arthur, Richard Collier

Warner Home Video, 2006

excellent quality
The only downside to this is that it is not a box set of all of Mel Brooks' movies in Blu-ray. I was curious to see what an older title such as Blazing Saddles would look like in Blu-ray and I was amazed. I don't know if the original master was just in excellent condition or if they had to go frame by frame and clean it up, but the detail level was astounding. Now if only Robin Hood Men in ...

Broken Trail

Robert Duvall, Thomas Haden Church

Sony Pictures, 2006

Duvall is Amazing
It is not every actor who can portray an Irish mob lawyer, a radio evangelist and a seasoned cowboy (my favorite) all with the same verve and mastery. And you've got to love a man who knows how to ride a horse. Duvall rides his horse like he's driving a Cadillac - with total comfort, style and ease. Very sexy.

Val Kilmer, Steve Zahn

Sony Pictures, 2008

Excellent!
This mini series did not disappoint. The acting was excellent. Steve Zahn captured Gus perfectly, even using similar affectations of Robert Duval, who played Gus in Lonesome Dove. Val Kilmer gave a fearless performance of Captain Skull which was spot on from the character portrayed in the book. The supporting cast was equally as good, the direction excellent and the story well paced and ...
