I am currently in the mood to watch Bollywood movie. I am currently rewatching some old Shah Rukh Khan movies, which I again greatly enjoyed.
I have watched now this last collaboration between SRK and Kajol for the first time. Usually always great movies. This time I was disappointed. I was not really bored. But I was not really moved like I am usually with their pairing. Not sure if I will rewatch that one any time soon.

The Tin Star, a review by Rogmeister

The Tin Star (1957)  92 minutes
Cast: Henry Fonda, Anthony Perkins, Betsy Palmer, Neville Brand
Music: Elmer Bernstein
Directed by Anthony Mann

As this movie begins, bounty hunter Morg Hickman (Henry Fonda) comes to town with a dead man draped over one of his horses. When he gets there, he finds a new tenderfoot of a sheriff (Anthony Perkins) who's not had his badge long and he winds up getting versed by Morg in lessons on being a successful lawman. Morg also becomes involved with a local widow (Betsy Palmer) and her son.

Though this film did get an Oscar nomination for it's story and screenplay, I've always considered this an overlooked little gem of a western. I like it's spare look with it's fine black & white photography and the character-driven story peopled with fine actors, even if Anthony Perkins is the last person you'd expect to find in the genre. I try to watch this film at least once a year...it's a film I never seem to tire of. The print on this DVD is sharp and clear but there are no extras, not even the ever-popular trailer.

Supernatural Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

EPISODE 7: Hook Man

Guest Stars:
Dan Butler as Reverend Sorenson
Jane McGregor as Lori Sorenson
Brian Skala as Rich
Alfred E. Humphreys as Sheriff

My Thoughts:
Cool... another one from a familiar legend. I thought they did a good job with it. I especially liked how they still didn't beat this spirit even after burning and salting the bones... and the answer to what the forgot.

My Rating:
