At the Movies: Clive Barker Raises New Hell

Per Variety, Clive Barker is writing and producing, but not directing, an update of 1987's Hellraiser. Barker, touting this as more than a remake, says, "There are areas where I think we can be a lot more intense and a lot scarier".... Hugh Jackman will produce and star in an adaptation of the Robert Littell novel The Amateur, which 24's Evan Katz will pen.... Eminem hopes to play gunslinger Palladin in Paramount's big-screen take on the 1950s TV Western Have Gun Will Travel.... Russia has banned the release of Borat, citing "material that [may be deemed] offensive to certain nationalities and religions." No, really?

 Have Gun - Will Travel is well worth the price for all three seasons that are available on DVD. My video here is simply to show the box, the slipcover, the disks inside and give you an idea of what the dvd menu looks like and the title opening of each episode. The stories are all excellent. Paladin, a former Army officer and West Point graduate hires his personal services as a fast gun out to those who are in desperate need and have no one else to turn to. His typical fee is one thousand dollars and he expects to be paid whether he succeeds or not. Sometimes he asks for more , if the situation involves a lot of money, and sometimes he waives his fee completely and takes a case purely out of a sense of justice. Paladin is a very literate man ,very intelligent and often quotes Shakespeare or Keats or other romantic literary giants when he seeks to comment on some tragic situation or improbable circumstance for which other words won't do. He makes it very clear to those who seek his help that he is not a bounty hunter nor a paid assassin and rejects people who want him to engage in such endeavors. He is very fast on the draw with his specially crafted revolver, though he only uses it as a last resort, preferring to resolve matters by less violent means when he can. He doesn't always resolve matters satisfactorily, in fact several times the situations he gets involved in end up in tragedy, which lends an air of realism to the series. Men , women, and even children seek his help and he weighs each person's situation carefully before deciding whether he will get involved. He is the Equalizer of the old west, a hero for hire to those who desperately need one. Sometimes very strange circumstances present themslves. As in one episode called "Never Help The Devil" in which a murderous gunman has been terrorizing a town. Everyone is frightened of him. In one scene he provokes a gunfight with a local man and kills him, but is badly injured in the process. The townfolk sensing that the killer is weakened begin to gather around him and the gunman retreats into the town's hotel. He then offers to buy Paladin's services to help him escape the town as the mob outside grows bigger and bolder. Paladin completely despises the thought of helping the man escape from the rightful anger and outrage of the townspeople. But in this episode we see Paladin's internal dilemma as he struggles with his own principles. The people of the town deserve justice, but Paladin isn't sure what justice is in this case. Ultimately he decides that he can't stand by and let a helpless man be killed by an angry mob, no matter how much he deserves it, and agrees to help the man escape but only as Paladin's prisoner. Paladin tells him he will turn him over to the sheriff in the next town. In a tragic twist , justice occurs before they reach the next town. I won't spoil the ending. I recommend the entire series , all of the first three seasons on DVD. The only disappointment is that seasons 4, 5, and 6 have not been released yet. Some people have complained that the DVD disks they received are physically flawed or deteriorated in some way but I have not encountered that situation at all. I purchased the set direct from Amazon and all the disks in the set worked perfectly.

Rawhide, Wanted Dead or Alive, The Rifleman, and HGWT are some really great western tv shows from the bygone era of the fifties and sixties. Jeez, I said bygone. Am I really that old? Yes!

HGWT ramped the plot up quick and finished even faster for nice little 25 minute show. It always featured great stars that weren't stars quite yet. Charles Bronson I believe apppeared twice, and many many more. I find myself waiting til the credits role to see who that actor was that I've seen so often.

Boone played a great character as Paladin. As a youngster, I always wanted the Paladin holster and gun with the horse chess piece trademark embossed on it. He was a San francisco socialite that could hire his services out as a gun fighter in the tough towns. He solved the myteries and evil doings with his mind most of the time. He only resorted to the fast draw as an absolute last resort. OK, I really liked that though. He smiled a lot, and could also stare down the meanest character, while charming a beautiful lady in the next scene. Not the most handsome guy, but knew how to work the room.

I have the first three seasons and have hit a road block with the dreaded Season4 volume 1+2. I hate the volume marketing gimmick. Just gimme the whole season. Not sure if I'm going to play the volume game for season4-?

These sets are well done and the picture looks great. So get it already!

I was at the library going through the DVDs and came across Have Gun Will Travel. They only had 1 set. I watched it that night and reserved all I could at the library. Their DVDs had been used so much they skipped. I just had to see every minute. I went on Amazon and checked the prices of seasons 1, 2, and 3 individually with the price of 3 seasons in one and it was cheaper to buy individually (like $16 cheaper.) So I did. It arrived quickly and in good shape.

The DVDs are of great quality, so crisp and clean and black and white. The memories it brings back can't be measured. I immediately started watching them, It's like a drug! I have to limit my watching. I'm now watching the 3rd season. I wish they would come out with the 2nd half of 4th season and lower the price. But money talks.

It is true-Richard Boone was not handsome, but he sure was sexy. There's just something about him. He became Paladin. The acting is superb, the locations were gorgeous, especially Big Bear.

I also purchased the book by David Rothel (A Knight Without Honor in a Savage Land). It's very interesting and helps you get to know Boone better.

If you remember Have Gun Will Travel, get the DVDs. You won't be sorry.

Have Gun - Will Travel was an adult western staple of the late 50's - early 60's. Paladin is both a complex and enigmatic gunfighter based in San Francisco played with intense quiet gusto by Richard Boone. Paladin [like Hopalong Cassidy for the kids] is a hero all dressed in black. This is the 3rd season of a 7 season run for the show and one only hopes the other 4 season will follow. Paladin attempts to solve as many problems with reason rather than the gun, but that in no way lessens his proficiency with a weapon when needed. The quality of soon to be or already famous guest stars is high. The writing is first class. For those who watched this show when it first aired, these DVDs are a treasure. For viewers who are seeing the show for the first time, this is an excellent look at the issues of half a century ago being dealt with in an entertaining manner. And, of course, there is that famous theme song [sung by the boys in the film STAND BY ME] about the Knight Without Armor in a Savage Land that plays over the end credits of each episode.
