Sam Peckinpah's 1969 epic 'The Wild Bunch' blazed a bloody new trail for the genre, and it will be honored with a special program and screening Thursday night. Though some critics hated it when it was released in 1969, Sam Peckinpah's seminal western "The Wild Bunch" is today considered one of the most influential, poetic -- and yes, violent -- sagebrush sagas ever made.

In the run-up to Turner Classic Movies' 100th-birthday salute to Robert Ryan on Wednesday, November 11th, TCM's Movie Morlocks are hosting a Robert Ryan blogathon. So get your rugged asses over there. Whenever I think of Ryan, I first picture his anger, resignation, and lean doggedness in Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, wishing he were riding with William Holden's crew than with the mangy lot of scavenging...

I'm taking a bit of a backseat this month to concentrate on preparing material for December's month-long tribute to Sam Peckinpah. I'll be posting the last few articles in the Tarkovsky retrospective, catching up with a couple of titles from the personal faves list and hosting a handful of guest articles.

It has just come to my attention that William Ham , who I like to think of as the writer I might have been if God liked me more, has some new record reviews up. You have to scroll down for it, but this bounty includes his definitive capsule history of Jobriath . Anything Ham writes is worth your time, but finding out that he's spent a few words on Jobriath is like finding out that they just went through...

For no reason I can articulate that would be flattering to myself as a person, I seem to get real excited whenever Turner Classic Movies finds something to show from the seventies that I've never even heard of, let alone seen before.

By Debra F Nelson Disappeared are the days when you had to linger in line at a video store and trust that the film that you desired was in. Finished are the days of worrying about getting the motion picture back to the store on time to dodge late fees.
