Een maand geleden is Violent City uitgebracht. Of er daarnaast nog Sollima westerns op stapel staan, is mij echter niet bekend

Inderdaad, geen geweldige film. Maar ook nog niet zo slecht als Night Passage.
Over de kwaliteit van de versie weet ik helemaal niks, maar ik wil wel iedereen waarschuwen dat dit geen western is.
Het is, ondanks de naam en faam van Sollima als regisseur (en Wertmüller als een van de scenario-auteurs), in de eerste plaats een Bronson-vehikel, inclusief de onvermidelijke, en vreselijke, Jill Ireland.
Het is uiteraard een bekwaam gemaakt product, daar staan dit soort namen wel borg voor, maar meer ook niet.
Blue Underground brengt geen nieuwe titels mee uit. Als het goed is stoppen ze ermee....eeuwig zonde, geweldig label. Ze brengen momenteel vele titels uit die eerder door Anchor Bay zijn uitgebracht. William Lustig, de oprichter van Blue Underground werkte voorheen bij Anchor Bay. Helaas geen Sollima's op stapel....
Of ze echt gaan stoppen valt nog te betwijfelen, ze komen nu met Blu-Rays titels.
Geen Western, maar Sollima's Revolver is een fantastiche film (mooi schijfje van BU ook)!

Ik ben ermee bekend dat het geen Western is, maar zag hem toevallig hier in deze thread staan, terwijl ik de film nog zoek voor mijn 'Bronson' verzameling. Ik twijfel over de aanschaf van de Nederlandse (grabbelbak-) release. Het zou kunnen zijn dat de Blue Underground versie 'uncut' is en/of een betere transfer.
Jill Ireland- Bronson neem ik hier- weer- op de koop toe .
Herman, de transfer van de Nederlandse DVD is niet veel soeps ... beeld is erg lelijk opgerekt naar een vreemd formaat, kun je beter laten liggen. Wel een sterke film overigens!

How The West Was Won R1 UCE in August
Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of two restored and remastered editions of How The West Won on 26th August 2008. One of only two narrative feature films produced in the original Cinerama® three-panel widescreen process, How the West Was Won follows four generations of a courageous New England farm family as they travel to the fertile Ohio Valley during America’s early westward expansion.
M-G-M and Cinerama®, Inc. spared no expense to give this sprawling Western saga the huge vistas made possible with the original Cinerama® process. After its initial theatrical engagements in theaters equipped with three synchronized projectors for Cinerama® presentation, the film was subsequently presented on traditional theater screens with the three separate Cinerama® panels being optically joined to form a standard 35mm 2.35:1 widescreen image, leaving most subsequent viewers puzzled by the annoying ‘join lines.’
Following several years of careful development, the technicians at Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging perfected a technology that could finally eliminate the ‘join lines,’ and unify the images into a superb viewing experience that captures the essence of the production’s initial road show exhibitions, with an aspect ratio of 2.89:1.
This ultimate western film gets the Ultimate treatment with How the West Was Won Ultimate Collector’s Edition ($59.92 SRP). The two disc Standard Definition Ultimate Collector’s Edition is loaded with collectible memorabilia including a 20-page theatrical press book reproduction, 10 behind-the-scenes photo cards and 10 postcards, and an exclusive movie poster offer. A Two Disc Special Edition ($20.97 SRP) will also be available, offering just the disc content.
Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including John Wayne, Henry Fonda, James Stewart, Richard Widmark, Gregory Peck, Lee J. Cobb, Debbie Reynolds and Carroll Baker star in How the West Was Won. Set between 1839 and 1889 against the backgrounds of the Louisiana Purchase, the Civil War, buffalo hunters, the Pony Express and the first transcontinental railroad, the film consists of five segments, with direction by Henry Hathaway, John Ford and George Marshall, and written by James R. Webb and John Gay, suggested by a Life Magazine series of the same name. The film was the winner of 3 Academy Awards® (Best Screenplay, Best Sound and Best Editing) as well as being nominated for an additional five Oscars®, including Best Picture. In 1997, How the West Was Won was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the US National Film Registry.

Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of the Errol Flynn Westerns collection on 26th August 2008 priced at $49.92 SRP. WHV continues its year-long 85th anniversary celebration by saluting one of the studio’s very-own legendary greats – Errol Flynn. Despite his Tasmanian roots and elegant British diction, Flynn made an ideal all-American cowboy. With his steely gaze, lean frame and understated humor, he tamed the West in eight thrilling sagebrush sagas. WHV presents four of Flynn’s classic “oaters” making their DVD debuts and available exclusively as a collection.
Montana (1950)
The star heads for the wide-open spaces of Montana in this adventure saga about a bitter range war. Errol Flynn plays an Australian transplant looking to buy grazing land. But the cattle-raising locals won’t sell to interlopers, especially one they consider the most contemptible excuse for a human being ever to cross the Great Plains: a sheep rancher. Flynn’s San Antonio co-star Alexis Smith is a flame-haired beauty with an eye for the newcomer…until she learns his occupation. In time, she’ll put aside her disdain for the handsome stranger.

Mooi package zo te zien !
Ik ga me vanavond maar eens amuseren met wat spaghetti's, review volgt later.
Fight for the honour
Van de film die Roeland vermeldt, raad ik vooral bovenstaande twee aan
Beide zijn van John Sturgess, en beide zijn betere films dan zijn meer bekende werken, zoals The Magnificent Seven and The Gunfight at the OK Corral (voordat iemand gaat protesteren: met die films is niets mis, maar deze zijn beter)
FORT BRAVO: een sfeervolle cavalerie-western, bekroond met een werkelijk adembenemende finale met ingegraven soldaten die met pijlen worden beschoten (en zoals iedereen kan begrijpen helpt ingraven niet veel als er met pijlen wordt geschoten!)
JAKE WADE: wellicht de beste schurkenrol van de onlangs overleden Widmark. prachtige finale in een spookstadje.

Return of Sabata gezien gisteren, de circus act in het begin bezorgde me een naar gevoel, daarna toch wel wat vooruitgang.
Geen topper, verre van. Een zeer foute spaghetti zoals je van een spaghetti mag verwachten, zo fout dat je hem uit wil kijken.
Oh ja, voor de liefhebber, vanavond op ZDF te zien: Winchester '73 met James Stewart
.
Fight for the honour
Gisteren 3:10 to Yuma (2008) gezien film viel toch wat tegen. Vond vooral het einde teleurstellend en miste eigenlijk de hele film spanning. Vond Crowe gewoon niet dreigend overkomen.
