StarsReview director, his versatility in all fields of storytelling would lead him to create some of the finest films, dating back to the silent era and progressing through the forties. Wings, So Big!, Nothing Sacred, and The Public EnemyThe Ox-Bow Incident that is my favorite. Yet wartime audiences weren't ready for the dark, cynical message that was at the heart of this film, and the results were a poor box office. Although it disappeared rather quickly, repeated broadcasts on the new medium of television a decade later turned this western into a classic.

       No quick draws, no stampedes and no bar room brawls, just a great screenplay with a plot that places the viewer as a witness to the dangers of vigilante justice and mob rule. A rancher in a sleepy, dusty town is allegedly murdered by rustlers who have made their getaway into the wilds with his cattle. Neighbors and friends, who are incensed with the crime, whip themselves into frenzied fury and form a posse to hunt down the outlaws. With all rationality set aside by the anger in their hearts and minds, they set forth out into the wilderness to dole out a little If you see one western in your lifetime, then see this one.


Review Criterion4 Stars - Historically important film, considered a classic.

Tom's Buffy and Angel Marathon, a review by Tom

04. Beauty and the Beasts (1998-10-20)
Writer: Marti Noxon (Writer)
Director: James Whitmore Jr.
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Seth Green (Oz), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Fab Filippo (Scott Hope), John Patrick White (Pete), Danielle Weeks (Debbie), Phill Lewis (Mr. Platt), Eliza Dushku (Faith)

An episode I never really cared for. I was never a fan of third season's Angel storyline. Good thing they have spun him off to another series. I think he is more interesting away from Buffy.
