The beauty of Westerns is that you always know what you’re going to get. There’s just something about them. Gunslingers, horses, dusty towns that are usually about one street deep. It’s a simple setup but one that usually sets up for some seriously good cinema. When Tombstone was initially released in 1993, Disney had no idea how to market the film. For some reason, even though Unforgiven had just wowed audiences and won Oscars, Tombstone was very quietly released. Critics couldn’t get advanced screenings, and it was a mess. Thankfully, word of mouth prevailed, and those critics went and saw the film itself. Now, the masterpiece we know is an icon in the genre. We’ve been waiting a long time for Tombstone to arrive on the 4K format. Now we’ve got a handsome Steelbook! Was it worth the wait? Read more on that, plus more about the film and a little something about Mr. Val Kilmer too… Forever our Huckleberry.
