One of the most anticipated films in the Batjac line up to be released to DVD is “Island In the Sky.” Watching the film for the first time, I can see why it remains such a powerful memory in the minds of John Wayne fans. On DVD, even viewed on my small TV, it retains a presence that few films possess.

Those Silent Stars
Buck Rainey has emerged as one of the foremost film historians of this last 20 years. With his books on ‘Serials and Series’, ‘Western Gunfighters in Fact and Fiction’, ‘Reel Cowboys’, ‘Essays on’, his various Buck Jones books (3), ‘The Fabulous Holts’, and several other western film topics, he is truly a master of the genre. Pity the man or woman who comes up against him in Trivial Pursuit, Western Style, or who starts an argument (discussion) on the topic of western heroes.
