Now showing at a Redbox kiosk near you: Dawn Rider

There's really no excuse for Dawn Rider, a direct-to-video remake of a 1935 B-Western with Christian Slater in a role originally played by John Wayne. You can read what I wrote about it for Cowboys & Indians magazine here. But if you'd rather not, don't worry, I won't take offense. On the other hand, if you do click over to the C&I website, you can read my preview of the upcoming Longmire TV series instead.
