Blood at Sundown (Alberto Cardone)
Solid, very solid. I only watched it out of the corner of my eye but it seemed fasted paced with the usual excessises. over and under acting.
Viewed Chicken and Holy Ghost again in the one called His Name Was Holy Ghost. Good fun if in the mood which I was, and Garko is very dry in this.
Kidnapping (Alberto Cardone)
Nothing special. Could have been a whole lot better if the hero had gotten involved in the plot earlier on. The film is over half over by the time he gets his shit together and starts actually involving himself. The red mist would have been more effective in a nightime scene with a light illuminating it. Mario Bava would have had a field day with that opening. But Iâd rather the red fog stay as it is than have no red fog at all. And like Reverend says, Halsey gets captured and tied up one too many times.
Korano, you have a Cardone week. 
2 Cardone Western in three days. :o
âThe Man From Laramieâ (1955)
-James Stewart
Plot: IMDB
A stranger defies the local cattle baron and his sadistic son by working for one of his oldest rivals.
Phantomâs Review: One of the greats. Terrific action, acting and story. A classic.

Doc West.
Not to mean one with Terence Hill playing the lead in this one about; land, robbery and the talents of Hill. He is a; former doctor, excellent card player and fast draw all rolled into one. Hill looks the same in appearance as he always does in his more recent western outings ie the My Name Is Nobody look. He has aged well, and still reminded me of Franco Nero in some shots like he did in Viva Django. But maybe the time has come to hang up those boots

Tears of the Black Tiger
-Not a real western but kinda western-look-alike from Thailand. Visually beautiful film with bright colours and painted backgrounds.
[size=12pt]Scalps[/size] (1987, Bruno Mattei, Claudio Fragasso)
It was shown, late at night, on a French action movies network, apparently in uncut version (the much talked about scalping and torture scenes seemed intact).
I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would; itâs not a good film per se (it has a fake look to begin with), but somehow it passes the time very well.
Pierotti: Lost Treasure of the Incas[url]http://www.spaghetti-western.net/index.php/Sansone_e_il_tesoro_degli_Incas[/url]
-Otherwise typical and boring early sw but last 10 minutes are more like Hercules film than western.
Yesterday: âI morti non si contanoâ e âUna bara per lo sceriffoâ. Both on the average of the spaghetti.
This film was very popular in Spain.
According to Wikipedia, it had 1.1 millions Spectators.
I have not seen the film, but it has only average reviews.
But probably there were many Spectators in Spain because it was made by a Spanish director.
Cheynne Autumn (1964)
John Fordâs last Western is a sort of apology to Indieans for the way he had treated them in his earlier movies, so here the Cheynne are nobel warriors and most whites are portrayed as evil capatalists. The photography is astoundingly beautiful, but some of the acting is slightly patchy, if mostly effective (Jame Stewart is a lot of fun in an cameo as Wyatt Earp). Not one of Fordâs finest Westerns, but still a good one nonetheless.
I saw Hondo (1953) yesterday. Imagine Shane but with John Wayne as Alan Laddâs character and the Apaches as the bad guys and you wonât be a million miles away from what this Western is like. That said, John Farrow directs briskly, the photography is good and the acting (including Wayne) is all fine, solid stuff.
Originally released in 3D.
Havenât watched the TV-showing, but the DVD I own has several scenes that apparently were shot for the 3D-effects. Theyâre quite desorienting and should have been removed, they serve no other purpose. Maybe they can re-release it in 3D now.
Okay movie, not great, but very enjoyable
Rewatched The Law and Jake Wade. A typically good-looking John Sturges Western thatâs as satisfying as most of his films without being outstanding.
The plot is as dusty as the desert locations - a clash between former partners in crime now on opposite sides of the law - but the performances of Robert Taylor (good guy) and, especially, Richard Widmark (bad guy), who share a number of particularly well-written scenes, keep it from becoming trite.
There are also magnificent locations to admire, a supremely surly Henry Silva supporting turn, and a nice ghost-town finale.
Widmark is excellent in The Law and Jake Wade. And it had one of the best colour photographies in a 50s western.
If they had worked out a few details with a bit more enthusiasm, and if the Indian attack would have been as good directed as Sturges best action scenes, it could have become his best and a true classic.
I knew it was originally filmed in 3D before hand, and apart from the credits and a few shots in a fist and knife fight, I didnât notic anything gimmicky about the Western. How long is your DVD? The version I saw ran for 85mins.
Yeah, luckily Hondo uses the 3-d effects only sporadically.
The DVD runs also about 85 min (81 in Pal). Uncut
