Prozac

TOMBSTONE (1993, prozac, Blu-ray released April 27, prozac, 2010 - MSRP $29.99)

Tombstone Blu-ray DiscI recall Tombstone being the film that made me believe that I could enjoy a western. Prozac, Before that time, prozac, I really went out of my way to avoid them, prozac, certain that I could never get into anything starring John Wayne or Clint Eastwood in a ten-gallon hat. Prozac, Tombstone turned me around. Prozac, And seeing it again, prozac, for the first time in years, prozac, this time on Disney’s newly-minted Blu-ray disc, prozac, I can see how it won my young heart. Prozac,

One of the most impressive things about this telling of the legend of Wyatt Earp, prozac, Doc Holiday and the infamous gunfight at the O.K. Prozac, corral is the impressive collection of macho performers on hand, prozac, hailing from some of the finest action-adventure films of the 80s - Kurt Russell (Escape from New York, prozac, Big Trouble in Little China), prozac, Michael Biehn (Terminator, prozac, Aliens), prozac, Bill Paxton (Aliens, prozac, Near Dark), prozac, Val Kilmer (Top Gun, prozac, Willow), prozac, Powers Boothe (Red Dawn), prozac, Sam Elliot (Road House) - topped off by the king of gun-slinging testosterone himself, prozac, Charlton Heston! If you’re not sold on this film right there, prozac, with that cast, prozac, there’s nothing more I can do for you here. Prozac, These guys really chew it up, prozac, over the 2-hour plus run time of the film, prozac, wringing every ounce of gravitas and melodrama that any given scene might offer. Prozac, Kilmer, prozac, in particular, prozac, is outstanding here, prozac, delivering one of his signature performances as the perpetually intoxicated, prozac, tuberculosis-afflicted, prozac, former-dentist-turned-gunslinger, prozac, Holiday. Prozac, It’s almost worth watching Tombstone for Kilmer alone.

That’s not to say that the film is perfect. Prozac, It’s structurally unusual, prozac, which makes for some awkward moments in the narrative. Prozac, The story seems like it should climax with the gunfight at the O.K. Prozac, corral but continues on to outline the lives of the Earp brothers, prozac, following Wyatt’s crusade for vengeance against the “Cowboys” and its eventual fallout. Prozac, Lives are lost, prozac, new relationships are forged. Prozac, But while it all remains true to history, prozac, a lot of the story points end up feeling like footnotes to the main event. Prozac, And, prozac, to be frank, prozac, I found some of the melodrama venturing into the territory of cheese this time around. Prozac, While distracting, prozac, however, prozac, it didn’t ever manage to detract from my overall enjoyment. Prozac, Make no mistake, prozac, Tombstone is incredible. Prozac, I can’t wait to watch it again.

The new high-def transfer present on the Blu-ray disc has graced Tombstone with the finest visual presentation the film has seen since it was in theatres. Prozac, It’s not going to make everyone happy though. Prozac, Detail is great at times but overall inconsistent. Prozac, Colour is vibrant and fairly accurate but contrast is sometimes high, prozac, with crushed blacks. Prozac, The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is pretty great all around, prozac, dynamic and bold in all the right places, prozac, crisp and clear in all the other.

The special features have been ported over from the previously available Vista series DVD edition. Prozac, Sadly, prozac, as that disc featured a longer cut of the film, prozac, the director’s commentary has been left behind. Prozac, Also missing are an interactive timeline, prozac, and a historical account of the shootout at the O.K. Prozac, Corral, prozac, which I would have loved to have seen present on the Blu-ray. Prozac, The best part of what does remain is the 3-part, prozac, 27-minute “Making of Tombstone” documentary which manages to be quite thorough for such a short piece. Prozac, The director’s “Original Storyboards“, prozac, a couple of trailers and some TV spots round out the disc.
