Well, can't believe it's been 21 days since my last post. My mother passed away March 2nd and we moved into a new home the same week while preparing our old home for sale.
These are the only films that I've viewed during the last 3 weeks.
HELL IS FOR HEROES (1962) - Good WWII film starring Steve McQueen, James Colburn, Bobby Darin, and even Bob Newhart. It's about a group of about 6 soldiers who have to hold a position against a larger force of Nazis. Steve Mcqueens character is a little to serious for me, but he comes through in the end of the film.
WESTERN UNION (1941) - Though I remember the name of this film as a kid I couldn't remember a scene from the film as I watched it, so I'm guessing I never saw it before. It's a very good Western starring Randolf Scott and Robert Young in this story about the Western Union telegraph line out West. Good historical drama with a little romance. You don't have to like Westerns to enjoy this film. Directed by Fritz Lang and in Technicolor.
RAGE OF THE MASTERS (1975?) - Well, that is the title on the cover of this $1 DVD I picked up. The film is actually excellent with great death scenes. It stars Jimmy Wang and Chiao Chiao. Wish I could figure out the real name of this film because I'm sure "Rage of the Masters" isn't the real title. Based on the limited info at imdb.com I'm guessing it's real name might be "Hero" or "Rage of the Tiger", but I'm not sure. It's about two older brothers and their schools of Kung Fu who fight it out to the death and a young master fighter who keeps his skills quite through his mothers guideance then later to defend the remnates of the losing school. This film is a keeper. If you find it buy it.
