Advantages: Another good John Wayne Western Disadvantages: Storyline too similar to Rio Bravo for my liking
I've always loved Westerns, but it's only in the past year or so that I've become a particular fan of all Westerns that feature John Wayne. So I was overjoyed to find that one of his many films was being shown on Saturday afternoon TV last week - and that it was one of the films which I didn't already own on DVD.
Being as some smart-ass at BBC Scheduling ensured that it clashed with the Grand National, I recorded the film and sat down a couple of nights ago to watch it.
The film is set in Texas at a period just after a war. The story centres around John Wayne's character, a gunman who has been hired by Jason to take on the MacDonald family. MacDonald and his family (three sons and a daughter) own a large piece of land with their own source of water which Jason wants. Of course, Jason hasn't quite put it this way to Wayne ...

Advantages: lovely scenery, good co-stars Disadvantages: John Wayne puts no thought into his character
the actor who took the role of Mississippi seemed to outshine John Wayne as he was much more likable and realistic in the story.
The film as set a long time ago in El Dorado in America and I think that they did do a good job with the scenery and setting for the film and the costumes all looked very authentic and suitable for the year of the film. I am pleased to say that there were some wonderful shots of the mountains and countryside which for me was the best part of the film. The music was very good indeed and it did help with the feel and emotions of the film. The music director does deserve a lot of credit for the time and effort he put into all of the music as it did help make a bland ordinary film slightly more watch able.
The DVD we have is the 100th Anniversary edition and it does not contain any bonus material but this is not ...

Port El Kantaoui is a purpose built Holiday Resort on the Northern Coast of Tunisia in North Africa. It is situated just a few kilometres North of Sousse, Tunisia's second largest City after the Capital Tunis.
It was built in 1979 with a modern 300 Yacht capacity Marina as its focal point. In recent years this Marina has become a popular mooring location for the rich and famous undertaking their Mediterranean Cruises and the Marina here is said to rival those long established Marinas of Nice and Marbella on the Southern Coast of Europe. It is now also Tunisia's most popular Holiday Resort.
I stayed in Port El Kantaoui between the 2nd and 9th July 2006 and found the experience to be a rather interesting one. Since it was my first visit to Tunisia I was a little unsure of what to expect and as my Holiday approached I began to hear ...
After his capture in the wilderness, the bloodthirsty 'Chupacabra' creates panic when he escapes into the city. As they pursue the beast, an animal control officer and scientist realise that a vigilante, with a suspicious motive, is also intent on capturing the killer.
After being captured in the wilderness, the murderous monster of Mexican legend--known as El Chupacabra--escapes into the city and begins a murderous spree. A scientist and an animal control officer set out to capture the beast and soon realize that a ruthless vigilante has been hired by the villainous Dr. Goodspeed (Treach of Naughty By Nature) to catch the monster for his own purposes.
