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 potrays the life of all these three amazing characters and then how they all end up meeting and their lifes intersect. 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)

'When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk!'

Advantages: Beautifully made, good performances
Disadvantages: Actors speak their own languages, so lip synching poor

...who likes to keep on the straight and narrow as much as possible. Angel Eyes (The Bad) is a professional hitman will kill anyone so long as he receives payment. Tuco (The Ugly) is an outlaw who just wants to make a fortune. Then Blondie and Tuco come across news that there is a large sum of money buried in a graveyard. Blondie knows the name of the grave; Tuco knows the name of the cemetery - so both are determined to keep the other alive in order ...
...about the money - and decides to follow the other two in order to find the fortune for himself. Will they find a way to share? Or are two of the three destined to die? Westerns are very far from being the type of film that I enjoy. However, I like to challenge myself every now and again by watching something outside of my comfort zone. In addition, I was intrigued to find out a bit about the background to spaghetti westerns directed by Italian director ...

Review of The Good Bad And The Ugly (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)

A story of retribution, murder and forgiveness?

Advantages: It's Lee Van Cleef!
Disadvantages: Not the best DVD quality

...incidentally was heavily influenced by Death Rides a Horse). I liked the use of guitar in this and the Indian chanting used in the soundtrack. Also the music when Bill goes head to head with 'Four Aces' was fantastic when he tells the piano player to hit three notes and it gives a 'dunn' (hard to describe) but it sounds good and builds up the tension. Not Morricone most memorable music, but still good none the less ---Locations and Dress--- Van ...
...approx. DVD Format: Widescreen 16:9 Death Rides a Horse Released 1967, released on DVD 2005. Released by MGM This review covers the Region 2 DVD release Bad Language: None Sex/Nudity: Scenes of rape, no nudity very brief Violence: Lots of people getting gunned down, bit of fighting, bit of people getting beaten by a number of attackers. ---Final Opinion--- John Wayne didn't like westerns like this as it broke the code. This one certainly ...
