Westerns > by Price

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 James Stewart Collection

Advantages: He presents a man of quiet sincerity
Disadvantages: He plays himself in all roles

This collection featuring the actor James Stewart showcases all that is sincere in his body of work. Vertigo ( an alfred hitchcock vehicle) is a money that signposts the maincharacters inadequecies but it gets turned around to his advantage. James Stewart played great men such as Glen Miller in the Glen Miller Story or as flyer in the Spirit in St. Louis. He was an accredited pilot who signed up for world war 2. His forays into the classic western ...

Advantages: Amazing story, amazing action, amazing gunfighting and beautiful background music

John Wayne Does Comedy!

Advantages: Good story, good acting, some good funny bots

The men return to their town millionaires and now George thinks that it is time to go and fetch his sweetheart Jennie who is waiting for him is ...

Review of North To Alaska (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 ...
