Note: Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the DVD I reviewed in this Blog Post: the opinions I share are my own.

There's a lot to celebrate, so hop into the Mystery Machine and let's explore!

Farewell, Glen Campbell

Image
Glen Campbell is gone. Rather than mourn his loss (his final album  Adios   seems to have offered the time and place for that), I would rather celebrate the man himself and some of the incredible music he made.

Smokey at the Bandit at 40

Image
On March 27th, stuntman-turned-director Hal Needham's first movie,  Smokey and the Bandit,  turned 40 years old. If you've never seen the movie, please rectify this oversight immediately. Without it, there never would have been a Dukes of Hazzard, Burt Reynolds may have had a whole different career, and Jerry Reed might never have become a recognized music sensation and remained an unsung Nashville session musician. I, for one, am glad this wacky little movie exists. If you agree, join me in a toast to Bandit and the cops that were always just a little bit too slow to catch him. Keep your foot hard on the pedal and watch ol' Bandit run. Fans of Burt, Jerry, and Hal can read more about their work together HERE .

Review: White Lightning (1973) and Gator (1976)

Image
Burt Reynolds spent a lot of the 1970s making movies that were set in the rural south and are sometimes called "hick flicks." With the two Gator McKlusky movies, we have one of his best and...another one.
