    Fallout (Amazon Prime)

    I've never played any Fallout games before, but have been enjoying this series immensely. Terrific world building, the violence and gore balanced by generally effective pitch-black humor, plenty of action and some intriguing mysteries sprinkled here and there. So far, it's a lot of fun and one...

    Agreed with Gary and Bert. Angel looks like a cute show and I'd be definitely down for getting that one at some point, but seeing the Hoppy films in HD is what I'm most excited for.

    36. Apache Rifles (1964) Closing out this challenge with another of my favorite western stars, Audie Murphy. While none of his films can be called masterpieces of cinema, they can generally be counted on to deliver rock-solid entertainment, and Murphy himself is a reliable action lead. There's...

    34. The Wild Wild West - 3.11 "The Night of the Cut-Throats" (watched via DVD) This has long been one of my favorite classic TV shows, and I think it still holds up well almost 60 years after it originally aired. This episode eschews the usual steampunk sci-fi and Gothic horror elements that...

    Blu-ray Review Colt .45: The Complete Series Blu-ray Review

    Great review, Josh, and a nicely balanced perspective on the merits of this show. I'm absolutely loving my set. WAC really hit it out of the park here in the audio/video quality department.

    33. Rooster Cogburn (1975) Didn't want to let the challenge end without including at least one entry from the most famous movie cowboy of all: big "Duke" Wayne, one of my favorite actors. I decided to watch this 1975 sequel to True Grit, mainly because it's the only post-1948 western in Wayne's...

    Amazon Prime Road House (2024)

    Like you, Gavin, I was a little surprised that no one had reacted to the premiere of this movie yet, so thanks for getting the ball rolling. I enjoyed this for what it was, a piece of disposable action fare given a quality boost from smooth direction by Doug Liman. I liked the sun-kissed Key...

    Very cool that you got to meet Clint Walker and have him sign your The Night of the Grizzly Blu, Doug! He's an actor I always have a lot of time for. I also enjoy The Night of the Grizzly, too, despite it's episodic nature. Not perfect, as you say, but a fun watch.

    30. The Valley of Gwangi (1969) Cowboys vs. dinosaurs, with great Ray Harryhausen effects and another rousing western score by Jerome Moross - what's not to like? Apparently based on an original idea from famed King Kong special effects wiz Willis O'Brien, and brought to life by Harryhausen and...

    I received my Colt .45 Blu-Ray set today, and have hoovered through the first disc (first 6 episodes). Am very pleased with both the quality of the show (a solid lead actor and a good variety of storylines) and with the pristine video quality of the transfers. I concur wholeheartedly with...
