"Gone Are The Days" but not forgotten

-


Hello again western fans. I hope you're glad I didn't wait too long to do another Western film. This time it's sticks more to the classic old west gun-slinging outlaws we all know and love. Yet much like the main character, they've become a dying breed. Yet they still find a way to give it one last go so they go out with their spurs on.

Taylon (Lance Henriksen) is a dying outlaw with many past regrets resulting in losing ones he loved. Yet when a young outlaw Virgil (Billy Lush) talks him into finishing a bank job that Taylon and his old crew couldn't accomplish, he's reluctant but decides to go against his better judgement. After getting into town, he learns that his old friend Sam had passed away and that the daughter he gave up to him Heidi (Meg Steedle) has become a prostitute for the saloon he's in. While he can't bring himself to tell her who he really is, he tries to find a way to help her leave this life.
However, things get more complicated when she steals from her boss and hits him over the head. He sets out to find Heidi and kill her. Now Taylon must race to save the daughter he never knew and make a sacrifice for love and redemption.

A classic western for a new generation. This takes me back to watching the old westerns with my dad on television from the 50's and 60's and how rough, violent and doing wrong for the right reasons they were. It even features Danny Trejo in a brief scene. A three and a half G.M.Star film for the old timers wanting some classic excitement and the young who watch them ride off into the sunset.

High School Musical's Zac Efron has taken the next step in his acting career by portraying the infamous serial killer who just happened to be born in Burlington, Vermont (true fact) and in the course of his life would go on to be a charismatic intelligent man on the surface and the last guy you would expect of killing over thirty women of various ages. Yet not many are aware of the things he did after he was sentenced. Aside from telling his life story and occasionally giving up a victim he also gave detectives insight into the mind of another serial killer, one known as "The Green River Killer" During the 1980's, the state of Washington was plagued by a serial killer that would rape and murder women, many of whom were young runaways and sex workers and leave their bodies naked up and down The Green River giving him t
