It begins by presenting two red herrings: Jerry     ...

    Released by: Kino Studio Classics
    Released on: July, 2017.
    Director: Sergio Leone
    Cast: Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Eli Wallach
    Year: 1967
    Purchase From Amazon

    The Movie:

    The third and final film in the ‘Dollars’ Trilogy’ takes what Sergio Leone showed us he was capable of in A Fistful Of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More and perfects it. If his first two westerns are the bastard offspring of Akira Kurasawa and John Ford, then The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly is where he made the genre his own and really perfected his technique. While he would repeat this technical achievement in his later Once Upon A Time In The West, (possibly even surpass it depending on who you ask) The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, still remains a slicker and inexplicably cooler picture that rightfully holds its place as one of the finest films ever made.

    Clint Eastwood (Unforgiven, Dirty Harry) and Eli Wallach (The Godfather Part III) play two gunfighters who form a temporary partnership during the era of the American Civil War. Tuco (Wallach) has     ...

    Cast: Charles Bronson, Jill Ireland, Vincent Gardenia, Deborah Raffin, Ed Lauter, Martin Balsam
    Year: 1982/1985
    Purchase From Amazon

    The Movies:

    How much Bronson-heavy badassery can you handle? Umbrella Entertainment unleashes Death Wish 2 and Death Wish 3 on a double feature Blu-ray loaded with extras and a pretty great bonus DVD – but more on that in a bit. First, the movies…

    Death Wish II:

    After the raving success of Charles Bronson's 1974 smash hit Death Wish (which supposedly reduced the crime rate slightly in New York City while it was playing!) it seemed inevitable that there would be a sequel. However, it took the producers awhile to get Bronson to agree to it so it wasn't until eight years later, in 1982, that the second film in the series eventually materialized.

    Bronson had worked     ...

    The Movies:

    Three dirty movies on one DVD, transferred from original 1970’s film prints? Yep. Here’s what you get, (each one introduced by Pete himself)…

    Fade To Red:

    Our first feature, which runs just under an hour in length, was made in 1971. It starts off with a scene where female is raped and tortured by some men – it turns out that this is the Spanish Inquisition at work! Some scuzzy music that’ll sound familiar to anyone familiar with the films of Duke Mitchell plays in the background as this poor woman is forced to go down while a     ...
