With the American Civil War finally lost, the four “Canfield” brothers go their own way. One, “Britt” (Randolph Scott) is a railway engineer and he ends up working on the route down to Santa Fe in New Mexico for it’s chief engineer “Baxter” (Warner Anderson). Meantime, his siblings continue to nurse their grudges against their former Yankee opponents and so are gathered up on the side of those opposed to the railroad - and that also includes the odd hold-up or two. “Britt” is loathe to betray his brothers, but now he has taken a shine to the suspicious “Judith” (Janis Carter), whose father had…

Great show bring it back for more seasons 10 out of 10 show is absolutely amazing from start to end one off the brst shows i have ever watched 👀…

Is the Vietnam war the most fun setting to be an actor? Racism! Murder! One-liners! Also, the Russians are back, baby! I would like to have seen Crowe revisit his accent, perhaps as Tolstoy, but these Russians are good. I really enjoyed the top 40 of this. I was flying high on the equisite blend of terrible and fun within this adventure. All good things must come to an endtimes and the movie struggles to innovate fun over the following 90. Pretty much everything except the baddest Russian come out within the first 40 and after the cold war and now uhhh the new order, Russian baddies are har…

"Miss Pearl" is not so good, not so bad! That's how she is described when she takes to the boards as a ballet dancer. This ambitious, enthusiastic, lass (Sally Gray) comes from an ordinary family who struggle to make ends meet whilst she tries to make a success on the stage. Her relationship with her mother (Catherine Lacey) is a tough, but loving one, and with the gentle support of her put-upon father (Stanley Holloway) she starts to make some progress. Along the way, she falls for the pretty hapless artist "Avery" (a perfectly plausible effort from Michael Wilding). He wants her to marry him…

**Unlocked: A Masterpiece of Digital Terror** The story of Unlocked serves as a chilling 10/10 cautionary tale for the modern age, focusing on the terrifying reality of social assassination through technology. It begins with the simple, everyday misfortune of Lee Na-mi losing her smartphone on a bus, which is picked up by the methodical and sociopathic Oh Jun-yeong. Rather than a typical physical pursuit, the narrative shifts into a high-stakes psychological war as Jun-yeong installs spyware to clone her life. He doesn't just watch her; he systematically dismantles her world by alienati…

The “Anderson” family are farmers hoping to sit out the American Civil War in Confederate Virginia by basically minding their own business. Dad “Charlie” (James Stewart) regularly has conversations with his six sons and one daughter over dinner as to what axes to grind they might have to cause them to participate. They have no slaves, nor want them; neither do they see any purpose in risking their lives or their livelihood by joining a conflict that doesn’t appear to be going very well. Then serendipity takes an hand as the youngest son (Philip Alford) is apprehended by a passing troop of Yank…

I think there might have been a missing “n” from the name of the town when “Buchanan” (Randolph Scott) arrives in “Agry”. He has hardly had time to tie up his horse when he’s accosted by the sheriff “Lew” (Barry Kelley) who makes it clear that he isn’t very welcome. Quite happy to take the hint, he heads to the saloon for a steak and a drink whereupon he is accosted by another of the “Agry” family, the sheriff’s drunkard nephew “Roy” (William Leslie). Before that set-to can settle down a Mexican lad storms in and shoots “Roy” in the gut. Now the bar is owned by the fairly hapless “Amos” (Peter…

Jackie Brown (1997) Directed by Quentin Tarantino Quentin Tarantino could have spent his career chasing the adrenaline rush of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, refining his trademark violence and verbal pyrotechnics into a formula. Instead, he made Jackie Brown, and in doing so, announced that he was capable of something rarer: restraint, maturity, genuine emotional complexity. This is still pulp fiction, still genre through and through, but it's pulp that trusts intelligence over spectacle, character over chaos. It's a film about middle-aged people running cons and running out o…

El Mariachi (1992) Directed by Robert Rodriguez There's a romantic notion in cinema that constraints breed creativity, that necessity mothers invention, that you don't need a Hollywood budget to tell a compelling story. Most of the time, this is wishful thinking offered by people who've never tried to shoot a feature film with pocket change and borrowed equipment. Then there's El Mariachi, Robert Rodriguez's legendary debut, made for approximately seven thousand dollars, which proves that sometimes the romantic notion is absolutely true. The premise is elegantly simple: a …

“I haven’t felt this naked since I last took a bath” “You must have a long memory!”. Naked? That’s because sheriff Wyatt Earp (Will Geer) won’t allow guns in his town and these men had to scarper rather suddenly after they stole a pristine Winchester rifle from it’s rightful owner. You see, “McAdam” (James Stewart) had shot a postage stamp and won the rifle in a shooting contest against “Dutch Henry” (Stephen McNally). The latter man didn’t care much for that result so had bushwhacked “McAdam” and absconded with said gun. Except, they had no other weapons nor any bullets for the one they did h…
