DVD Description

John Wayne, in his last film appearance, stars as famed gunfighter J.J. Brooks. After learning from Dr. Hostetler (James Stewart) that he's dying of stomach cancer and has no more than two months to live, he moves into a boarding house in Carson City run by Bond Rogers (Lauren Bacall) and her son, Gillom (Ron Howard), to die quietly. But when word gets around that the old gunslinger is in town, curiosity seekers come out of the woodwork to get a look, and the ridiculous local marshal (Henry Morgan) contemplates a showdown with the legend. Annoyed by the attention and realizing that if he waits long enough, he'll die in great pain, Brooks decides to seek out his enemies and go down with guns blazing. Yet he works to persuade the hero-worshiping Gillom to foreswear the life of violence he's led. Director Don Siegel fashions a poignant, gracious farewell to the great star, who, like his character, was dying of cancer as the film was being shot. A stellar cast, which includes Western stalwarts such as Richard Boone, Hugh O'Brian, John Carradine, and Johnny Crawford, adds much to the film's resonance. As much a meditation on the burden of celebrity as an elegy for the Old West, it's most revealing in its star's final renunciation of violence.

The Matrix
Review of The Matrix (Wide Screen) by DMM

Advantages: good graphics and good effects
Disadvantages: very imaginary

...the matrix wide screen is a very good film indeed because of the graphics mostly. I would recomend you see it but you should only see it once because it gets quite a bit boring after a bit because i watched it twice and it got completely boring the second time. i would not think it is suitable for people under the age of 12 because there is quite a bit of violence and i dont suppose you want that to be shown to your children if you have any, no offense. but in an overall review the matrix wide screen is very good but also has its disadvantages....

The Legends Begins
Review of Tremors 4: The Legend Begins DVD by daggersrule

Advantages: Great if you are a fan of the other 3 tremors films
Disadvantages: Wont make as much sense if you havent seen the previous 3 Tremors films

...nothing and assume whatever killed the men has gone, until one of them gets killed by one of the 'Graboid' monsters. This is where it may get confusing for people who havent watched the other films because they wont have seen these giant slug-like monsters that tunnel underground and sense people by sound. The rest of the film is the men trying to kill the graboids so the mine can re open and the town can re-populate. They have to hire a professional shootist to help them kill the fast moving Graboids. If you are expecting this to be a horror film then you will be dissapointed, it is more of a comedy film, there is little voilence and no gore. I would DEFINATELY reccomend this film to some one who likes the other 3 tremors films, but I dont think it is worth buying if you havent seen them. Director - S.S.
