There have been many, many, many Westerns that focus on the aftermath of the Civil War, with so many jaded veterans set loose in the West. And lots dealing with veterans of the "Indian" wars. But yes, there are very very few that have dealt directly and honestly with that aspect of the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,345 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Just for the record, most Westerns are about 'revenge' and lawlessness. The two go hand in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,363 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Popstar : Never Stop Never Stopping - sort of the pop-rap/R 'n' B version of Spinal Tap, starring the Lonely Island comedy troupe (the most recognisable of whom I guess is Andy Samberg) and with many cameos from real-life music industry figures. Pretty damn funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Darkman (1990) - Sam Raimi It had been years! Brilliant, crazy fucking movie. Neeson is wonderfully over the top. I miss this Raimi! He was still there in the Spider-Man films in lots of ways, but that Oz movie... yikes. Anyway, just take the fucking elephant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Resident Evil: Retribution Aside from Apocalypse, this might be the best one, and mainly because they shook it up a bit and gave Alice some humanity by ripping off Aliens and giving her a "daughter" to defend. And some other familiar faces return. Now I'll have to wait for The Final Chapter because it hasn't premiered on cable yet, as far as I know.
