My Thoughts:
The first time that it happened to me that a Blu-ray didn't play on my player and I had to do a firmware update (haven't done one for over two years).
I really enjoyed this action movie. Even though it was rather predictable, but it had great action scenes and that is what counts for this kind of movie.
I watched the director's cut version.

My Thoughts:

First off let me say that Westerns is not a favorite genre of mine. But I can enjoy them when I am in the right mood. This one is a very slow paced film and utilizes narration a lot. Two things I normally hate for films. But in this case I felt both worked very well. Actually I felt both was needed to do this film right. At almost 3hrs... this is a very long film... but still felt it was well worth the time put in to watch it. I definitely feel comfortable recommending this one.

"Due South" marathon, a review by Rick


Mask
I liked this episode. But I should say that I like stories of Native American culture and folklore. This one fit right into that. The story also adds another level to Fraser's relationship with his boss even if Fraser isn't aware of it.
