Charles Bronson is a horse breeder who comes into a spot of bother with his neighbour when he starts to get the hots for his sister.
I must have seen this around fifteen times over the years now, so I guess I like it. Downbeat ending…a woman is sometimes the downfall of many a good man.

Blindman[/url] - The Cultcine disk looks beautful but has some PAL to NTSC problems. A much better watch than I remembered. Top 20 stuff.

Seraphim Falls - hmm, I’m not sure about this one. For the most part it’s a solid, gritty, strikingly handsome pursuit/revenge Western, then it shifts, seemingly abruptly, into the elemental and the mystical.
I say seemingly abruptly because, thinking about it, there may have been signposts to its abstract direction earlier on.
An ambitious work, then, and certainly a memorable one.
Bosch: I’ll Forgive You Before I Kill You[url]http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Diligencia_de_los_condenados%2C_La[/url] (dvd-r)
-Bruno Corazzari and his gang are in jail waiting for trial and they hire Fernando Sancho’s gang to kill the only witnes. Sancho’s gang end up to take all the passengers of the stagecoach as a hostages in Richard Harrison’s inn because they don’t know which one is the witnes.
Entertaining film and one of the Harrison’s best I think and I have always liked Sancho and here he has lot of screen time. Film takes place most of the time indoors as the bandit gang try to figure it out who is the witnes they need to get rid of. There’s some good tension between the gang and the passengers and Harrison who of course isn’t just a ordinary guy but famous gunslinger.
First half of the film is good but in the latter half the plot starts to fail as Sancho starts to kill the hostages for almost no reason at all. So why don’t they kill 'em all at the first place? Would have saved them the trouble. Oh, and there’s also a scene with one of those infamous annoying kids in the end.
Thought I had never viewed this one before, but then a certain scene comes along which refreshes your memory.
An ex guman is now somewhat of a lost soul and in his travels he befriends an Indian woman who he had helped out earlier. Not long before they come very close friends, and these scenes reminded me of a U. S version of Apache Woman, even though this film was made earlier. Unpleasant rape of the Indian woman in true redneck style. Harry Dean Stanton pops up in the film. The main character is lacking something at times, and the film had the potential to be much better.

[font=arial][size=1]Viewed some heavy going stuff recently so this lightweight romp with Lee Marvin and Oliver Reed (as an Indian) allowed my mind to have a rest.[/size][/font][/size]
