Just received my latest issue of True West Magazine and on the back cover they have an ad from Warner Bros for their Warner Archives and their old western series, The Dakotas, is now available on dvd, the entire series.

One question.
How are you going to get back down that hill?
Love that line. Also the one, "well, looks like I brought my laundry by mistake". -
"The Mechanic" - Charles Bronson actioner. Bronson plays a hit man who trains a young fella for the same profession.
Nice double twist ending.

Last nigh, I watched The Equalizer with Denzel Washington. Based on the tv show from the late 80's with Denzel playing Robert McCall, former CIA type living a low and quiet life, till he decides to help a young girl involved with the Russian mob. Then he shows his skill from his old life. I thought it was pretty good. Probably won't be a sequel, though the end gives you the idea of maybe.

Watched The Last Command on Amazon Prime the other night. Picture quality was as good as I've ever seen.

Dick Bakalyan, Character Actor Who Appeared in ‘Chinatown,’ Dies at 84
He always played characters you loved to hate. And he was good at it. He also played Mafia assassin, John Scalisi, in The St Valentines Day Massacre.

On the Inspiration Channel, they show episodes of High Chapparal, along with Daniel Boone and The Virginian. You can check your cable/satellite company to see the channel number or if they carry it. Usually called The Insp Channel.

I see poet, Rod McKuen, has passed away at 81.

Thanks!
Not since 1960Lions fan here, Bill, and no title since 1957.
As for who I favor this year? Maybe the Patriots. Seahawks won it last year, Pats have gone awhile since their last SB win. Time for another for Brady before he calls it a career. -
Swedish blonde bombshell, Anita Ekberg has passed away at 83.

Veteran leading man and character actor, Rod Taylor has died at 84. Man, did he ever have some great roles. I think my most favorite was in John Waynes, The Train Robbers, as Grady, always needful of something to do. Thought his line, the last one in the movie, was fantastic. When Duke takes off after the train, Ben Johnson's character says, "rob a train"? Rod Taylor looks at him and says, "something to do"!

Encore Westerns have been advertising showing Death Valley Days. Don't know when it starts, but it's supposed to be on at 6 and 6:30 each night. Not on tonight because of the Wanted: Dead Or Alive marathon that's on, but it will be one tomorrow.

Time to give this a bump. Encore Westerns showing a Wanted: Dead Or Alive marathon starting today. Just finished showing Ep 3 Season 1. Showing in chronological order.

Saturday bought Sands Of Iwo Jima and How The West Was Won on Blu-ray at a place called Disc Replay. Last week I bought Expendables 3 on Blu-ray, tomorrow planning on getting Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.

Two episodes of Longmire this is a great series.
It is a great series. Too bad A&E canceled it after the third season. Hope they can get another network to pick it up. There a big unresolved issue that ended season three.

At one time, I think had about 200+ VHS movies. I then started weeding them out and replacing them with the DVD version as they came out. Now, I think have maybe about 20 VHS left, either replaced or donated without replacing them. Some VHS I had I transferred to DVD through my VCR and DVD recorder. Only a few worked, others had a copy guard. Some movies I've recorded on my DVR, then transferred to DVD. That worked out pretty good. Got some great old movies from TCM that way. I've replaced some DVD's with their Blu-ray counterpart, but only if it's a special movie to me. Did that with some of the James Bond movies and all of the Star Trek movies, and of course, Star Wars, Superman, a bunch of westerns and war movies.

Keith and Mark,
Thanks for the words of encouragement - I began accumulating movies to watch back in the Nineties (VHS days). After spending several hundred dollars on tapes, I then switched to DVDs and spent thousands on them. And when I did, I made a promise to myself to skip the next technological advance (as we knew, there would invariably be one). Now comes Blu-Ray and here goes old Jim again. Where does it all end?
JimStumpy, don't feel bad. I'm guilty of doing the same exact thing myself. I don't have $2500 worth of movies ordered from Amazon, but I've seen quite a few I would like to order. I spend a lot of time at Best Buy, but about the only movies I buy anymore are the latest popular movies like the Marvel ones, or other superhero ones, or maybe a good western if one comes out. Only thing about Best Buy is that with so many of the older movies being released on Blu-ray, Best Buy doesn't stock them. They usually just stock all the latest, good or bad, or the ones they know customers will buy. Though lately, they just got some old ones like Universals Horror movies like Frankenstein and Dracula in Blu-ray, and old musicals like Oklahoma and The King And I on Blu-ray. Oh what a tangled web we weave.

This week, picked up The Beatles first film, A Hard Days Night on Blu-ray. Part of the Criterion Collection. It's a 3 disc set with one disc the Blu-ray, one the DVD and the third disc is extras. Best Buy also had Red River by Criterion, but it was the DVD only. If they had the Blu-ray, I would've bought that instead of A Hard Days Night.
