FILM REVIEW (145 MINUTE VERSION) “When you side with a man, you stay with him, and if you can’t do that you’re like some animal!” – Pike Bishop Sam Peckinpah’s 1969 masterpiece about the end of The Old West begins with a scene that was inspired by a story told to him by actor Emilio Fernandez (who plays Mapache) from his childhood in Mexico.

No siree, these aren’t your everyday do-gooders that pull cats out of trees and help old ladies cross the street. These are the dark, scarred, lone scavengers of film. They are also some of the all time coolest complex, mysterious characters who blur a grey line between what we consider “good” and “bad”. They are the Furious Anti-Heroes of Cinema!

A mysterious stranger (Eastwood) slowly gallops into the desolate lakeside mining town of [read...] 
This week in Blu Releases: Three classic films from directors who have made their own unique impacts on the world of cinema. One is a 90s trippy crime caper-comedy, the second, a 70s revisionist Western-adventure, the third, a 50s court potboiler. Although their content is entirely unrelated, what they do share is cinematic storytelling at its finest. This Coen Brothers film was a sleeper that went on to become a [read...] 
I recently watched the remake, or to be more precise the alternate adaptation of the book True Grit is based on directed by The Coen Brothers. I thought the film was well made but at the same time I had my problems with it. Since I’m a longtime fan of the original and also a big fan of The Coens, I thought I’d take an honest, straight forward look at [read...]
