Silverado (2 Disc Superbit Gift Set)
Description
Get ready for some horse-ridin’, gun-totin’, whiskey-
drinkin’ fun in this digitally remastered collector’s edition of Lawrence
Kasdan’s SILVERADO, featuring a never-before-seen featurette with interviews
from the cast and the filmmakers! The spirited Western stars Kevin Kline,
Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, and Danny Glover as four unwitting heroes who
cross paths on their journey to the sleepy townof Silverado. Little do they
know the town where their family and friends reside has been taken over by a
corrupt sheriff and a murderous posse. It’s up to the sharp-shooting foursome
to save the day, but first they have to break each other out of jail, and
learn who their real friends are. Thanks to its authentic look and spectacular
cast, which also includes Rosanna Arquette, John Cleese, BrianDennehy, Jeff
Goldblum, and Oscar(r)-winner Linda Hunt (1983 Best Supporting Actress, The
Year of Living Dangerously), this exciting Old West adventure created a whole
new generation of Western fans and Set Contains: There’s a little bit to be
desired and a lot of fun with this new deluxe edition of Silverado. The
playing cards–emblazed with the new poster art– make the package the width
of three DVDs on your shelf. You could jettison the packaging and just keep
the 2-disc keepcase if not for the nice 20-page scrapbook–it’s just too large
to fit in the keepcase, a bad bit of design. The good stuff includes a
Superbit presentation of that film that is better than the original DVD
(especially with the DTS track). Director Lawrence Kasdan gives up the
commentary chair to three cowboys/movie historians/professors. They have a
nice rapport and give balance to how great Westerns aren’t necessarily made up
of the facts. However, they descend into self-promotion by the end. The only
other new extra is a 20-minute reminisce by Kevin Costner that is a must for
the actor’s fans. The well-conceived 1998 making-of is included, but the
“History of the Shootout” is just a repackaged trailer package narrated by
John Cleese. –Doug Thomas
