The notorious James-Younger gang is the most famous group of outlaws in the country, robbing banks, trains and stagecoaches with a sense of daring that makes them folk heroes throughout the land. But when the mighty Pinkerton detective agency swears to track them down, these criminals must face an awesome enemy that will stop at nothing to see them behind bars…or dead! Only through the strength of their loyalty and blood ties can the outlaws hope to survive the brutal pursuits, unexpected betrayals and blistering showdowns that mark the end of their dangerous ride.

From acclaimed director Frank Oz (Bowfinger, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) comes a fast and furious farce about life, death, and the strange family dynamics that every family has! As the mourners and guests at a British country manor struggle valiantly to “keep a stiff upper lip,” a dignified ceremony devolves into a hilarious, no-holds-barred debacle of misplaced cadavers, indecent exposure, and shocking family secrets. With a fantastic ensemble cast, this is a darkly comic movie that was so good that it spawned a remake just three years after it came out.

Legendary screen icons Gary Cooper (High Noon) and Burt Lancaster (Elmer Gantry) team up for a magnificent, action-packed western from director Robert Aldrich (The Dirty Dozen) and screenwriters Roland Kibbee and James R. Webb. With sweeping vistas and larger-than-life heroics, it’s a tale as bold and rugged as the characters it so brilliantly depicts. Cooper and Lancaster portray Benjamin Trane and Joe Erin, two daredevil mercenaries who journey to Mexico in search of adventure and cold hard cash during the 1866 revolution. But they get more than they bargained for when the wealthy and beautiful Countess Duvarre (Denise Darcel) hires them to escort her (and a fortune in gold!) to Emperor Maximilian’s fighting forces in Vera Cruz. The trail is fraught with danger, betrayal and murder… and when Ben is swept up in the revolutionaries’ fervor, he and Joe find themselves at odds with the Mexican Army and each other!

While I realize that many people didn’t like Spiderman 3, this is still a great deal for all three Spiderman Blu-rays. Personally, I loved the first two and liked the third and I think most people can agree that Spiderman 2 was one of the best (if not the best) superhero movies ever made. All three movies were directed by Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire was an inspired choice to play Peter Parker/Spiderman. With other roles played by Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace, and Kirsten Dunst, these movies are packed with good people! If you haven’t upgraded your trilogy to Blu-ray yet, this is the perfect time to do it! Continue reading ‘Get the Spiderman Trilogy on Blu-ray for $30 and Free Shipping!’

Taking a nostalgic look at one of the greatest baseball teams and most memorable seasons in the game’s history, 61* spotlights the summer of 1961, when Maris and Mantle chased one of the most hallowed baseball records ever – Babe Ruth’s 1927 single-season mark of 60 home runs. In the spotlight of the press and at the mercy of public opinion, Maris and Mantle paid a high personal price for doing what they did best, when what should have been a season of triumph turned into a nightmare. Ultimately, it was their deep friendship and mutual respect that saw them through their historic pursuit. 61* refers to the asterisk that baseball commissioner Ford Frick affixed next to any season record set after 154 games (by 1961, the American League has expanded to a 162-game schedule). The “distinctive mark” showed that it had taken Maris 162 games to break Ruth’s 154 games record. It was not until 1991 that the qualifier on Maris’s achievement was lifted.
