The Movie: This is the 1992 Academy Award winning film directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. I'd never seen this movie before and so I added it to my Netflix queue after hearing so much about it for so many years. The movie itself was quite good, and although it is a western, it wasn't your traditional western where the gunslinging star and his arch nemesis possess superhuman powers of speed and accuracy. The "hero", as it were, has physical and moral weaknesses.

The story was well played out, and interesting to boot. It also features Morgan Freeman who, until I saw him on the screen, I had no idea was in this movie, and well, I like Morgan Freeman a lot. So all in all, the movie was pretty good and I recommend it. I also gotta give some special recognition to the DP, as this was just one really beautiful looking film.

The DVD: This is a dual sided disc with a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer on one side, and a 4:3 pan and scan version on the other. The film transfer was somewhat grainy, and the audio was just average. There were no special features to speak of.
