"Rio Bravo" (1959)
-John Wayne, Dean Martin, Angie Dickinson

The sheriff of a small town in southwest Texas must keep custody of a murderer whose brother, a powerful rancher, is trying to help him escape. After a friend is killed trying to muster support for him, he and his deputies - a disgraced drunk and a cantankerous old cripple - must find a way to hold out against the rancher's hired guns until the marshal arrives. In the meantime, matters are complicated by the presence of a young gunslinger - and a mysterious beauty who just came in on the last stagecoach.


I love this movie. In my opinion, it's Wayne's most "enjoyable" movie. "The Searchers" is his masterpiece and his greatest film, but this one is more fun.
Great cast (and wasn't Angie Dickinson just drop dead gorgeous )and a fun story.

Alien: Director's Cut. (with some commentary in-between)

Needless to say, the mind needed some refreshing...so out came the DVD for a comparative analytical viewing. The Director's Cut is a gorgeous visual experience (the reels look so spic and detailed), and the additions to the much-loved movie we already know are...interesting.

For one, it retains most aspects of the original without going overboard. Some of the scenes stand snipped (like Dallas's queries from Mother regarding disposal of the Alien) and there's a really delicious scene added in the last 20 minutes of the movie. Most of you who have this DVD know about it, others might have read about it...but still I wont spoil it. Let's just say, it solved two queries of the die-hard viewer.

Overall, the Director's Cut is great. By no means perfect, (because IMO it still can't beat the overall effect of the original, which has stood the test of time) it was still awe-inspiring to watch this. The original scores a big 9 everytime for me, and for the Director's Cut I give


8.5/10.

Code Of Silence

Quite possibly Chuck Norris' greatest moment :) Great no bullshit 80s action flick Henry Silva is great as the villian.

I really like this flick, one of the more underated sequels out there. I've been meaning to check out the third entry for awhile.

Made (2001)

It's no Swingers, but it's always good for a few chuckles. I love the buddy chemistry between Favreau and Vaughn, no matter the situation.

king of california (2007)

not great, but it has a sort of indie charm.
the performances were very good, though, i thought.
