Hey bud. Have you posted your thoughts on John Ford's Fox era stuff anywhere? I've had the dvd box set for a couple years and shamefully I've still only seen the ones that have a bluray releases (and Judge Priest). After going through my indicator set I think that'll be my next big journey.

Yeah, I've finished all of Ford. I write daily reviews on my little blog journal thing, going back through the Fox stuff as well.

I want to pick up that set.

If I could recommend only one film from that set that probably deserves more attention, it would be Drums Along the Mohawk, but there's a fair amount of good stuff from that period.

Drums is great! I'll check out your blogspot. Hopefully I'll find just the right kick in the hiney there to get me Rollin' on that Ford at Fox set.

I hope for your sake Hamilton Books can stock up on that one again. It was a helluvu deal at $25.
