DVD Reviews
Little Big Man
- Published March 13, 2012
- Written by Henry Cabot Beck
The Western was fair game in 1970, when the movie Little Big Man was released.
Unforgiven
- Published February 14, 2012
- Written by Henry Cabot Beck
Clint Eastwood deserves all of the accolades he’s received for the movie Unforgiven, including a Best Picture Oscar and Golden Globe, but a brand new DVD edition might be milking it a tad (especially since two Blu-rays have already been released, with the last coming out in 2010).
Treasures 5: The West, 1898-1938
- Published November 08, 2011
- Written by Henry Cabot Beck
The National Film Preservation Foundation has dedicated an entire three-DVD collection to the American West and the Western. For hardcore fans, this collection truly is a treasure.
Meek’s Cutoff
- Published November 08, 2011
- Written by Henry Cabot Beck
Director Kelly Reichardt’s Meek’s Cutoff is not an action picture or a conventional Western, any more than The Assassination of Jesse James was a typical Jesse James film.
The Warrior’s Way
- Published August 28, 2011
- Written by Henry Cabot Beck
The Warrior’s Way is a cross between a Western and an epic Samurai tale, telling the story of the world’s greatest swordsman-assassin, Yang, the baby princess he rescues rather than kills, as ordered, and the desert town across the ocean that he and the infant hide in.
