Westerns > Eastwood, Clint Westerns

Best western ever

Advantages: The best western ever
Disadvantages: Alittle slow in places

Without doubt I can say this is the best western I have ever seen, Not only does it paint what I would think is a accurate portrail of life in the west but it is also done in beautiful and sometimes thought provoking way. Clint eastwood not only stars but directs and what a job he does in both roles. He paints a picture of a aging gunslinger who needs money to bring up his two kids. Wondering if he has what it takes at his age and without the help ...

MR EASTWOOD RIDES AGAIN!

Advantages: A GOOD MOVIE
Disadvantages: MAY NOT APPEAL TO EVERYONE

Review of “Hang 'em High”, a DVD starring Clint Eastwood. This DVD is not my usual cup of tea, I'm not a particular fan of either westerns or Clint Eastwood, but on a wet afternoon recently, we decided to pass away a few hours watching movies and this DVD had been loitering in the back of the cupboard unwatched for ages. The DVD The DVD is one of the first 'Spaghetti Westerns' actually filmed in America. The film was also instrumental in bringing ...
...earlier movies. The actual movie was released back in 1968 by United Artists and in my opinion has stood the test of time. The DVD version was released in 2000 by MGM. Run time of this DVD is 1 hour 50 minutes and it is classified as suitable for age 18 and over. The genre is 'Western'. The DVD is a fairly basic one with only a few extras included such as a Making Of The Movie Trailer, Original Theatrical Trailer, Interactive Menu and Chapter Access. ...

Review of Hang 'Em High (DVD)

The great Western revival

Advantages: Fantastic acting and atmosphere
Disadvantages: Nothing really

1992 saw a sort of revival attempt at the modern Western, with Clint Eastwood taking up the reins in control of this epic and excellent piece of Western cinema. It is one of those films which sees a main plot line that is not the primary focus of the film, and as such it is entirely engrossing. In many ways, the appeal of the film is more the superb acting from the four main top billing actors, rather than anything else. Following a vicious attack ...
...heads of the two men responsible. Former gun for hire Will Munny (Eastwood) finds himself persuaded to put on his guns one last time to seek the perps and claim the reward, and he enlists his old buddy Ned (Morgan Freeman) to help him. Sheriff Little Bill Doggett (Gene Hackman) is keen to keep peace in his town, but it seems that is unlikely to happen, especially with the arrival of English Bob (Richard Harris), known to Daggett already. As events ...

Review of Unforgiven (HD-DVD)

For a night of epic gun-slinging

Advantages: Two brilliant films in on set, for a reasonable price
Disadvantages: The hours you'll find devoting to learing lines and catchphrases

...The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a film full of well known lines and scene that keeps you on the edge of your seat, followed up by Hang 'em High and you can't go wrong. The most attractive thing about this set for me was the fact that each film is on a seperate disc. For some reason it double sided disks irritate me, and when it comes to such epic films as these, i feel that each deserved their own disc. When watching theses great films you wont ...
...your own hat, cheering for the bad and better guys. This is Clint in his well known form of tough hero, who everyone loves, despite the times where you think he'll do the wrong thing, and even when he does you can't help but cheer him on in all his squinty glory! ...
