I watched Shane on TCM earlier in the night. It was a pretty good movie. It would have been better if that little kid Joey wouldn't have been so annoying. He was like Dennis The Menace. Every few seconds he would say something like, "Shane, could you show me how to shoot a gun?" He didn't let up throughout the whole movie. I found the story incredibly close to that of Pale Rider. I'm guessing Clint was inspired by this movie.

Yesterday after I got off work I watched Escape From Fort Bravo. It was a pretty good western, but it seemed to end abruptly. A better ending would have made the film much better. After that I watched Hour Of The Gun. The film is about Wyatt Earp and the events surrounding the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. It attempted to be as historically accurate as possible. The only problem is that in doing so it wasn't that entertaining. Tombstone was less accurate, but much more enjoyable.

    • I really liked the first 3 POL albums, as did many people at the time,  but every subsequent one has got worse and worse, with this one being the most bland, predictable and boring of the lot. Admittedly, my tastes have moved on over the years since the first 3, but I still like and really good sugary sweet AOR album from time to time. Unfortunately this one isn't it i'm afraid.  
    • Their 2nd really good album. A melodic hard rock band doing it the right way... nothing new, no frills, just strong  songs throughout, well produced without overdoing it and just really well put together generally. One of Frontiers better bands amongst their roster of averageness
    • Boys From Heaven - The Descendant Scar Symmetry - The Singularity: Phase II - Xenotaph The Defiants - Drive  Stardust - Kingdom Of Illusion Pride Of Lions - Dream Higher Art Nation - Inception False Memories - Hybrid Ego System Jukebox Heroes - S/T Black Sabbath - Live Evil (40th Anniversary Box) A is A - The Complete Recordings John West - Days Of Destiny Chris Barr/ Don Cromwell - A Story Unfolds  
    • It's fantastic!   My initial favorites would be 19 Summertime, Go Big Or Go Home, Against The Grain, So Good and Love Don't Live Here Anymore.  But there's no bad songs here and I just dig the attention to detail these guys have in their songs. For me, this definitely reminds me much more of their debut than their second album style, theme & quality wise.  Listening to this reminds me of songs like Take Me Back, Last Kiss, Underneath The Stars, etc.  Very easily slots into my #1 spot so far this year.  We'll see if Midnite City can challenge it in a couple weeks.   
    • Always...but more reason to today   Got it on now...4 tracks in...excellent...but I won't dabble/spoil it for anyone...anyone interested should have it in a few hours as you said 
    • I bet you cannot wait to get home. 
    • New video for 'Real World'.    
    • Nope. No way he has that many great songs that he couldn't leave 6 or 7 off. Will be a lot of filler. Hopefully a few killer.
