New on DVD: Wagon Master (1950)
Laura's Miscellaneous Musings (Free subscription) | 09/21/2009
John Ford's relatively unsung masterpiece, WAGON MASTER (1950), was released on DVD last Tuesday, September 15th. I've loved this movie since I first saw it years ago at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Ford "stock company" favorites like Ben Johnson, Harry Carey Jr., and Ward Bond all have a chance to shine as the film's lead actors. The movie also has stunning black and white photography...

Keep The Coffee Coming (Free subscription) | 07/26/2009
The trees had that low level morning fog when I woke up, and I knew as soon as I walked outside it wasn't the sort of fog the sun burns away. I could feel it. I could feel the dampness and the chill. On my way to breakfast, I could barely see through the fog across the river. The day hasn't gotten any better. I wonder where the summer is hiding. Yesterday we celebrated National Cowboy Day at the D-R...

Just like in Chandler....
