Legends of Western Cinema Week 2025 | Giveaway

-
Care to cozy up with a new Western show or a new Western book?  Then toss your hat into the ring to win one of the prizes below!  (Entry instructions are at the end of the post — United States only, I'm afraid.)

Prize #1:  The Big Country (1958) — DVD, new


One of my personal tip-top favorite Westerns!  Very worth the watching. 😉  As stated, this DVD copy is brand-new and in the original retail packaging.

Prize #2:  Classic Westerns:  Zane Grey — book, new


This gorgeous clothbound omnibus is part of the Cloud Classics line, which means both the front and the back cover feature a lot of fun quotes and other aesthetic details.  I purchased it quite a while ago and have flipped through it briefly, but it's never been read and has been only minimally handled.

Prize #3:  Wanted: Dead or Alive (1958-1961) — DVD, used


I've never watched this show, but I am reliably informed that it is a popular one among the Western-loving set. 😉  This DVD copy is used.  I have verified that all of the discs are included, but I have not tested any of them in my own DVD player and I can't speak to whether or not they will play in yours.

⸻

The giveaway runs through Friday, August 29, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. EST.  To enter, comment on this post telling me which prize you want, and include an email address where you can be reached in the event that you win.  (I will put comments on moderation for this post so that your email address isn't just hanging out in the Internet open.)  I will draw names from a separate pool for each individual prize.  One entry per person.  I don't have a widget because I've never been able to make one of those work and I'm certainly not about to try again now. 😅 

Good luck!

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Jane Eyre: 2006 VS 2011

-

I've seen four adaptations of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre so far, and while all of them have had at least one good element, the two that actually vie for the honor of My Favored One are the 2006 miniseries with Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens and the 2011 movie with Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender. Every time I watch these two, I try to figure out which Jane/Rochester pairing is my favorite; and every time, I come to the conclusion that I can't decide.  So, naturally, I've decided to further this exercise in futility by hashing out my feelings here on the blog. :-P  It's pretty disorganized and patchy, but so be it.  Basically, I just wanted to vent a little, and that's what I've done. ;) (And please bear with me:  This is practically the only Gothic romance story I like and allow myself to get all caught up in every now and then, so there may be gushing ahead since this story has kind of been "on the brain" recently.  Don't worr...

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewin...

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capul...
