John Wayne hams it up as a one-eyed, broken-down marshal in this 1969 adaptation of Charles Portis's bestselling novel. Kim Darby plays the formal-speaking adolescent who goes to Wayne for help tracking down her father's killer, and singer Glen Campbell straps on his guns to join the quest. Directed by old lion Henry Hathaway (Rawhide), True Grit is largely a showcase for Wayne (who finally won an Oscar), but it is also a decent Western with a particularly stirring final act. --Tom Keogh

It's hard to imagine how shocking this film was when it first broke on the film scene in 1968. There's never been anything quite like it, though it's inspired numerous pale imitations. Part of the terror lies in the fact that this one's shot in such a raw, unadorned fashion it feels like a home movie, and all the more authentic for that. Another is that it draws us into its world gradually, content to establish a merely spooky atmosphere before leading us through a horrifically logical progression that we could hardly have anticipated. The story is simple. Radiation from a fallen satellite has caused the dead to walk and hunger for human flesh. Once bitten, you become one of them. And the only way to kill one is by a shot or blow to the head. We follow a group holed up in a small farmhouse to fend off the inevitable onslaught of the dead. And it's the tensions between the members of this unstable, makeshift community that drive the film. Night of the Living Dead establishes its savagery as a necessary condition of life. Marked by fatality and a grim humour, it gnaws through to the bone, then proceeds on to the marrow.--Jim Gay

Experience Hendrix presents unforgettable highlights from two star-studded tribute concerts to Jimi Hendrix hailed by critics and fans alike as the greatest guitarist of all time. Filmed in San Diego and at the Paramount Theatre in Hendrix's hometown of Seattle these special never-before-released performances feature legendary blues giants Buddy Guy and Hubert Sumlin coming together with Paul Rodgers former Rolling Stones lead guitarist Mick Taylor and the newest generation of guitar heroes including Kenny Wayne Shepherd Robert Randolph Pearl Jam's Mike McCready Kid Rock's Kenny Olson and Vernon Reid to celebrate Jimi's legacy. Joining forces with these great artists are Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox from the Jimi Hendrix Experience as well as Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon from Double Trouble the powerful rhythm section who served the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. In his brief four-year reign as a superstar Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since. Hendrix was a master at coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument often with innovative amplification experiments that produced astral-quality feedback and roaring distortion. His frequent hurricane blasts of noise and dazzling showmanship - he could and would play behind his back and with his teeth and set his guitar on fire - has sometimes obscured his considerable gifts as a songwriter singer and master of a gamut of blues R&B and rock styles. Tracklist: 1. Kenny Wayne Shepherd & Double Trouble - Come On Voodoo Chile and I Don't Live Today 2. Indigenous - Hear My Train A-Comin' 3. Living Colour - Power of Soul and Crosstown Traffic 4. Eric Gales - Purple Haze 5. Hubert Samlin Jimmy D.Lane & Double Trouble - Bleeding Heart and Killing Floor 6. Mitch Mitchell Billy Cox & Andy Aledort - Freedom 7.
