I started watching "3:10 To Yuma" and make a weekend out of it. I think "Magnificent 7", "Appaloosa" and whatever else remake I got. I won't be watching the "Man With No Name" since those were rip offs. Come to think of it "Magnificent 7" is a remake of a rip off. So if I watch it then "Man With No Name" as well as "Last Man Standing" would be fair game. This got complicated.

Star Wars is frinkin over and has been for a while. The Marvel universe is stupid.
There are so many great books that could be adapted to a movie but we continue to get fed garbage, point in fact the Mag 7 remake.......come on it sucked compared to the original and was far fetched to boot but it was diverse.
OH and the Pirates of the Caribbean.............I am so over that crap
But you have to remember they make movies for the masses and the masses are unfortunately
you fill in the blank.
I haven't stepped in a movie theater since 1997 or bought a new DVD since 2000 I refuse to participate.
I will admit the remake of 310 to Yuma was good but then again I don't think I have seen a bad Russel Crow movie.
He nailed Master and Commander, I had read the whole series when the movie came out. I watched the movie and although it follows several books he nailed it.
Kind of Like Alec Baldwin.....he is a supreme AH and Libtard but he can act. His portrayal of Dave Robicheaux in Heaven's Prisoners was fantastic again I had read the book before I saw the movie. He was even better than Tommy Lee Jones who I really like too.
I'm always ready for Tom Horn, Monte Walsh, and Big Jake.
Top it off with Second Hand Lions
Or a day of The Godfather 1 and 2.
gearheaded, you are a man after my own heart! All good fliks that are worth the time to watch them. A very RARE thing these days!
Oooops, gearheadad sorry I called you gearheaded. Old eyes can cause insults not intended! :?
There is a great article in this months WACA magazine about the 1873 Winchester Newman Carrie's in the movie.
I suppose I always have time for Winchester 73 and The Man from Laramie.
Death Hunt too!
It's getting to that time of year when a great old movie and a fire in the fireplace and all is right in my world.......Ed
Sam06 - Disney has been pimping ads for their streaming service where they have bought under one roof the "Star Wars" franchises and Marvell Empire. I guess they think they're King Rat now. As for Russell Crow I like his movies and one of these days I'll track down "Romper Stomper" to place next to "This Is England" in my collection.
hillbille - I was looking over the Terrence Hill western collection off fleabay last Friday when I was coming up with my western weekend. They had a 6 discs collection on PAL format out of Australia or was it Korea? Not sure if my player will play it but while trying to decide to buy the collection I watched one of the "Trinity" movies on youtube. That boy loves beans. I also went on his IMDB page to see how many westerns he did (and there's a lot) and dude's still alive. He's been making some priest tv show for like 18 years. I'll have to mke sure my player will play that PAL before flopping the cash.
Don't know what I'll put on the player while I do some water changes in my tanks. Something wordy so I don't have to see what's going on. I wonder how much chlorine there is in the pipes? Better make sure I got enough Novaqua before tackling this.
Never cared to know anything about him as a private person and for most actors that I like, I do not snoop on their private lives.
Now if they make headlines about their beliefs and political ideals (like Robert De Niro), that is another issue. It really gets me pissed.
