Streets of Laredo (1949)
bring it to DVD
This is a western that has been long over-looked by those who decide on which movies are brought out on DVD. Make us happy, and release it. When William Bendix dies, it is done in such a cold blooded method. Even my 8 year old was upset. She liked his character. She also thought the "bad guy" was hot. Nowadays, for a child to sit thru this type of movie on their own, reflects on the great story quality and acting ability of the actors in it. Many westerns do not have the story line that this movie portrays so well. All of these movies of a time past need to be available for a new generation to enjoy. Another classic is Merrill's Marauders.
The Great Raid (2005)
A Great Movie to see
This movie is one of the best I've recently seen. When I first sat down and the movie started, I thought "this is no Saving Private Ryan". And it isn't. But, it is not far from it. The action is very good, the acting believable, and the sense of truth is definitely there. Unfortunately (at least here in Boca Raton, Fl), the movie theatres downplayed it, the critics barely reviewed it and gave it not-so-good reviews and it was barely in the theater. If you saw it you were one of the lucky ones. My wife who doesn't really like this kind of film, came out of the theater and stated,"That was a wonderful movie". Boy, was I shocked. To hell with these over-paid "professional" critics and do yourself a favor. Judge a film by your standards. GO see this film. You won't be sorry. I can't wait to see it on DVD.
