Duke Ellington - Memories Of Duke DVD

Advantages: Jessica Simpson (need I say more)
Disadvantages: she isn't the best actor

...This new version of the Dukes of Hazard, is a great comedy to watch. The old tv series is cranked up and finally been made into a film. Sean William Scott, Johnny Knoxville and the gorgeous Jessica Simpson star in this thrilling encounter as the General Lee takes centre stage once again. Daisy (Jessica Simpson) looks awesomely hot in her tiny miniskirt and low cut tops and when she steps out in her bikini it's enough to make any man's heart pound, and Bo (sean william scott) and luke (johnny knoxville) both are on a quest to save their family farm from destruction. The main plot is that Bo and Luke's father makes monshine and the two of them have to transport it around in their car, the General Lee, and try to outrun the authorities. The local bad guy, Jefferson Davis Hogg, wants rid of the Duke's farm to turn it into a wasteland... Read review

Advantages: this dvd shows john wayne at the start of his rise to fame
Disadvantages: the movie is in b/w which will not appeal to everyone

Advantages: Maureen O'Hara, Classic John Wayne Western, Exciting, Well Acted for the most part
Disadvantages: A bit more gory than most John Wayne Films, pretty typical John Wayne

...As I was growing up I’m pretty sure I saw almost every John Wayne film ever made. My mother is a huge fan, and there was always some sort of Western playing in the background, so I remember them fondly. When I saw this on DVD the other day I had to rent it. Unfortunately the particular DVD I rented had no special features and was simply the film, so that is all I will be reviewing. Big Jake, the film. ******************************** The Film: Big Jake Summary ******************************** A great deal of creativity and depth is not involved in this particular story. It is actually quite simple and straightforward. An outlaw gang lead by John Fain attacks the McCandles Ranch. They kill quite a few members of the hired help, shoot Jake McCandles youngest son Jeff, and kidnap his grandson Little Jake who... Read review
