Gunpoint (1966)
Ray N
Gunpoint, released in 1966 towards the end of Audie Murphy’s career, is a tradition western which shows little influence of the Sergio Leone “Dollars” films that were released in 1964 and 1965, changing the western genre forever. Nevertheless, with galloping horses, an Indian attack, betrayals, shootouts, fist fights and some spectacular scenery it is an entertaining western adventure. Gunpoint is included in the 14 disc / 14 film set Audie Murphy Ultimate Western Collection from ViaVision.

Cry Freedom (Blu-ray) (1987)

Another enthralling epic from director Richard Attenborough, Cry Freedom is a superb chronicle of true events that occurred in a turbulent 1970s South Africa, when the fight against apartheid intensified. I wouldn't exactly call it highly enjoyable, but it's a fine historical drama bolstered by superb actors and convincing production values. Arriving on Blu-ray courtesy of Umbrella Entertainment, the technical presentation is very satisfying, as the film greatly benefits from the high definition upgrade. Although no extras are included on the disc, this is still a worthwhile buy. Recommended.
