Others remain indifferent to this film in favor of the original. I too love the original and have all 6 versions, but to me this remake does not ask anyone to take sides...original or remake... it speaks to the patriots of our time. It extols the merit of loyalty and sacrifice. The original...

Respect to gunjunkie45. I so enjoy the differing tastes of a forum community. We may all be bound by marksmanship but in terms of Scotch appreciation... wow there is a broad consensus. Lagavulin 16 may be the peatiest, smokiest scotch in existence. I like a Laphroaig from time to time, but...

As a young competitor at the US Pistol Nationals, I asked Bill Blankenship how to make the break from expert class shooting to master. I explained how often I performed at that level but wondered why I still had the occasional bad match. He gave me some really obscure advise: "clean your...

Oban 18 is right at your maximum. ($104) and is superb. Oban 14 is very good and at the mid range of your budget. Aberlour has an expression that is lesser known but among the best bangs for the dollar in Scotch. They expanded the distillery and dug up a time capsule. It had an old bottle...

The Red Circle (Brandon Webb) Fearless (Eric Blehm)

+1 for Joe Kidd + Outlaw Josey Whales Valdez is Coming is a must. (Lancaster) The Missouri Breaks (Nicholson) The Appaloosa (1966) (Brando)

The Clayton Bigsby black white supremacist skit had me coughing up lung-butter as a younger man. What a great laugh. I heard however that it caused Chappelle a lot of grief from a certain community tho. I can’t say how much politics influences a comedians choice of material, but at one point...

The film raises a glass to the “strangers” and explicitly notes that a warrior like Decker must remain isolated to ensure the safety of others. In my own mind, I saw a parallel to the isolation of a soldier...the separation between what he knows and what those he protects don’t know. To me the...
