Review of Silverado (DVD)

Where's The Dog?

Advantages: First epic Western for years!
Disadvantages: There should have been a sequel!

...After the legendary actor John Wayne passed away in June 1979, the genre of the Western was a rare thing to see in the cinema as a vacuum had been created by the departure of Hollywood's leading Western actor. Naturally TV showed quite a few Westerns including TV shows such as The High Chaparral and Bonanza, which did not necessarily fill the void of watching an epic on the big screen. A movie directed by Lawrence Kasden, writer and director of The Big Chill changed the premise of the western and rebooted the genre for a new generation. That film was Silverado. Released in 1985, the story centres' around four characters whose individual journeys lead them to meet and become friends in a small town called Silverado, where they come up against some unexpected obstacles that one of the characters knows very well from his past...

Review of Silverado (DVD)

'Jake fell off a horse? He fell.....off a horse?'

Advantages: Magnificent
Disadvantages: None

...Silverado was one of those films when I was a kid that I constantly watched bits of but never all of it. The reason for this was because someone in my family had taped over the last 10 or 15 minutes or so with something else, so I never had a chance to watch the entire film. It was an ITV recording as well, so it was littered with ad breaks. A few years ago, it was on Sky Movies, and I recorded it properly, standing guard by the video recorder and TV for the duration in case anyone dared tempt my wrath! I have, of course, watched it again since, a number of times, and am a little more relaxed about whether I watch the whole thing in one go or not. I haven't given myself overkill on it or anything, but I'm not so desperate any more. I was glad I waited and made sure to have the whole thing and to give myself ample opportunity to watch...

Review of Silverado (Collector's Edition) (DVD)

Forget the ride, steering and interior build quality and love it!

Advantages: Sounds better than the Beatles!
Disadvantages: 75% of the population hate you.

...I've had a love/hate relationship with my 1989 Chevrolet Silverado for around 8 years now. It's undergone a rebuild and respray, has a typical crazy Yanky wallow to the ride, the steering is fragile and at worst lethal, the interior trim quality is poor and you have to keep all the joints greased or it sounds like a seriously squeaky bed ... it smokes on start up and the engine service light comes on if the fluid level slops on a corner. The model I drive is the 5.7 V8 and it is ... when all considered ... a petrol heads dream! I drove this car to Hamburg a couple of years ago and stuffed every Merc and BMW I came across. Mid range acceleration is 'awesome' and the top speed is scary! It will do 140mph with an eagerness to do considerably more. OK, so I tweaked the box and suspension and brakes, but it's reasonably stock ... it turns...

Review of Essential Western Film Music Collection Vol.1, The (The Wild West) - Various Artists

A fantastic CD for your collection!

Advantages: Music, price, easy listening
Disadvantages: Only 2 CDs!

...Team Mix) 16. Quango & Zunie - Music Is My Life (Flip & Fill Remix) 17. XTM - Give Me Your Love (DJ Silverado Remix) 18. Flip & Fill - Irish Blue 19. Tube & Berger - Straight Ahead * 20. Fatman Scoop feat The Crooklyn Clan - It Takes Scoop * = the best songs on the CDs. I'm not saying the others are bad, but these are my favourite! CD one is more of the party CD, whereas CD Two is the clubbing CD. Cd One is calmer and the beats aren't as strong as the second CD where you could literally headbang to a lot of the tracks. I got this album for a tenner, definitely a good price! I think this album is better than some that have been released recently (doesn't help that the CD's these days have the same songs on them because of the lack of new & decent tracks being recorded). This is one of my favourite albums ever! I really...

Review of Floorfillers Vol.1 - Various Artists

Why did they call it Stagg

Advantages: Tastes nice and has less than 5% fat
Disadvantages: The thought of eating chilli that was in a tin

...chilli is very convenient for all those who need to get something quick to eat or basically can't be bothered to slve over the stove! There is also clear nutritional information on the tin! Stagg chilli also comes in a number of different flavours, original, silverado beef and a number of other flavours, ranging in how hot (spicy) the chilli actually is! So you could find one that is to your taste! A good tip! I really enjoy my Stagg chilli stuffed into red peppers! I deseed a red pepper put it in the oven to soften slightly, heat my chilli, stuff the peppers, return to the oven and bake for two minutes! This is a really filling, not to mention tasty healthy meal! Yes you read that correctly healthy and tasty written in the same sentence! I highly recommend this chilli so if you get the chance go out and buy some try it and let...

Dreamcatcher, It Let One Nightmare Slip Through

Advantages: Camera Angels and lighting create a bit of atmosphere. Tom Sizemore
Disadvantages: The rest of the cast, poor direction, weak plot

...say I was left uninspired by it for a number of reasons. Of course don?t let me put you off, if you like the sound of it I?d certainly advise you to give it a try. It?s brought to us by director Lawrence Kasdan who I have to admit I had never heard of before. He?s done a few films in his time including Body Heat and Silverado, if that means anything to anybody. I certainly wont be rushing to see any of his other films as his direction is very patchy. The film for me never really got going for me as it seemed to lack pace or purpose. It didn?t help that he waited till the middle of the film before he explained how they actually got their special powers. The special effects look ordinary and the alien space craft seemed to have been ripped off from Independence day. I felt this really let it down as the Alien aspect of the film could have...
