Bought a new John Wayne movie on DVD? Then review it here. Let others know about it. How was the transfer, the sound, does it include extras? Was the price decent? Let other fans know if the DVD you bought is worth buying for their collection or if they should wait.
I'll start with King of the Pecos from Artisan.

The synopsis of the movie is; Texas in the 1870's is an open range, and an evil cattle baron has claimed most of it for himself. Nothing stands in this man's path. A rancher either leaves the land…or dies. In one case, the son of a murdered couple escapes. Years later, that boy returns as a young lawyer (John Wayne) with a six-shooter and a deadly aim. His challenge to the cattle baron can only end with one man standing, and the other dead.
Pretty much standard of the time, but still very enjoyable to watch. The story was fast paced and kept your interest. I was surprised by this one myself.
The movie was crisp and clear considering the age of the film. There was no tears or major scratches in the film that transfered to the DVD. Sound quality was excellent with no fade ins or outs. There are no extras to the DVD for deleted scenes, considering the age of the film and they didn't waste much film for retakes. The DVDs special features are, Fullscreen, English 2.0 Dolby Digital, Digitally Mastered, scene access. The price is perfect, $9.95. I bought mine at an electronics store, Best Buy. That's the usual price online for this DVD.
I'd rate this one, http://www.angelfire.com/zine/timetraveler/images/popcorn.gifhttp://www.angelfire.com/zine/timetraveler/images/popcorn.gifhttp://www.angelfire.com/zine/timetraveler/images/popcorn.gifhttp://www.angelfire.com/zine/timetraveler/images/popcorn.gifFour out of four popcorns.
