A brilliant biographical film

Advantages: extremely accurate
Disadvantages: early years of Wyatt Earp feel a touch rushed

...accurately on the story of Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp. Born March 19th 1848. Wyatt would come to spend his adult years during the wildest period of the frontier. Wyatt Earp became legendary as a lawman, and his greatest feats are being the man to clean up Dodge City {One of the most violent frontier towns in the wild west} and for the Gunfight at the O.K Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. This film came out a touch later than the fantastic Tombstone starring ...
...purchased it on DVD. Wyatt Earp is a lenghty movie, but needs to be, to get as much information across as possible about the man. Initially the film starts with Wyatt Earp Played by Kevin costner, just verging on adulthood. His father is played by another fantastic actor, Gene Hackman. Here the seeds are sown for the man Wyatt would be, by his father who preaches things like nothing matters more important than blood {meaning family} and if you ever ...

The Good The Bad and The Ugly - The Best

Advantages: Amazing story, amazing action, amazing gunfighting and beautiful background music
Disadvantages: A bit lenghty

The Good the bad and the ugly is one of the best all time classic mvoies that I have ever watched in my whole entire life. It is soo cool, the style of clint eastwood the good and then the bad's killing style and comedy of the ugly is just amazing.

The movie has amazing drama and amazing action, gun fights and all old western ...
...watch movie before you die. The story is amazing as well, a movie which everyone in your family can watch. The only thing is that the movie is a bit lenghty but it doesnt make a difference as you'll be enjoying it all the while. And then there is the best classci style background music which you will be humming even after the movie ends. ...

Review of The Good Bad And The Ugly (DVD)

one of the best

Advantages: great movie, clint eastwood
Disadvantages: 15 certificate

Plenty of people I know who have watched the film disagree with me that it is one of the best western films made.I totally disagree this film sequels a fist full of dollars,of which is also one of the best around of its time. The sequel has been branded unneccesary and downgrades the 1st film but if the film had not been produced the first would not of had the same affect as it did. Clint Eastwood is at his peak in both the films and so is the ...
...i know that he is a star.the theme in both films is incredible and i am told that there are other films that have been based on the same theme to try and get money and more viewers but since the two fabulous westerns came out no film has continued with the success that they did. Altogether a great watch ...

Review of For A Few Dollars More (DVD)

An Iconic Goodies v Baddies Classic Western

Advantages: A Very Rare Superstar Packed Acting Cast
Disadvantages: It Is Not Excatly Thought Provoking

...music as it is for the film itself. The main theme is definitely one of the, if not the, greatest film themes of all time and was composed by Elmer Bernstein. It is a remake of the 1954 film Seven Samurai. The cast is very impressive but in my opinion the screenplay is not strong enough for them to fully use their undoubted great acting skills. The main cast is: Yul Brynner Eli Wallach Steve McQueen Charles Bronson Robert Vaughn James Coburn Horst ...
...by Calvera (Eli Wallach). The bandits regularly raid the defenceless village stealing its food and wears. If you think of the TV series The "A" Team you'll have some idea of the general idea of the plot. Its goodies defending the weak from baddies primarily out of sympathy and for very little pay. Chris initially refuses the "gig" because he is a semi retired gunslinger but eventually he agrees to help and goes about rounding up the other 6 men many ...

Review of The Magnificent Seven (DVD)

Wayne's Worst???

Advantages: Some good acting
Disadvantages: Bad effects, black and white may put some off

Well stupid me when I said hubby could pick the film as I knew it was bound to be a John Wayne but I never knew just how bad it could be. This being the first film which John Ford directed and the start of the working relationship between Ford and Wayne is shows how old the film is. The storyline to the film is pretty basic with a group of 6 people leaving a town on the stage to head for Lordsberg. The gang include an alcoholic Doctor, an ex-prostitute, ...
...and a lady who is off to meet her husband who unbeknown to everyone is pregnant. The stage is driven by a bumbling fat man who really is funny and he is helped by the sheriff. The stage is dubious about leaving as there are Indians in the area but they are escorted by the American Calvary so they start on their journey. Before long the stage is stopped and the sheriff meets Ringo, an escaped prisoner, played by John Wayne and he is re-arrested and ...
