John Ford is probably a name that the kids today aren’t familiar with and may be long forgotten for some, but he’s truly one of the finest directors of all time. He’s one that all those awesome filmmakers that rocked the industry in the 1970s pulled from. While an artist, he was also in that […]
My intro here kinda has nothing to do with the film I’m about to review. But, its something I’ve kind of always wondered.

Like most men, I’m a big fan of John Wayne and his movies. My father introduced Wayne into my life with movies like North to Alaska, The Alamo, Rio Bravo and more. Despite being a huge fan of the man, I still haven’t seen all of his movies since he made so many during his […]
The Duke has made his way to Blu-ray. The John Wayne classic The Green Berets recently hit store shelves on Blu-ray disc, which for many, was a long awaited arrival.

It’s the end of the year and we’re beginning to see the usual “best-of” lists. Seeing as this is 2009, some of these may even be “best of the decade.” Now, let’s be honest, some of these will be spot on, some will be terrible, but ultimately, they’re all subjective. That’s the beauty of cinema; […]
