Brokeback Mountain seems to be this year’s belle of the ball garnering seven Golden Globe nominations. Is it the best film of the year? No, but it’s pretty darn good.

The story involves the secret relationship of Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) which begins one summer as the two cowboys herd sheep up on Brokeback Mountain. A physical relationship develops between the two that picks up years later as both men have moved on with their lives, settled down and married. On fishing trips back to Brokeback the two bask in the joy of being together knowing that the outside world will never accept them and they can only truly be together on the mountain.

A TV show made into a movie; a movie made into a DVD. Although a hit with a small and vocal fan base (and a fair amount critical support), Joss Whedon’s sci-fi western never found a home and was cancelled after only twelve episodes. Whedon’s drive and the fans furvor wouldn’t allow the series to die and Universal Pictures stepped in to provide the opportunity to continue to explore these characters in a feature film now available on DVD.
Bret Hart wasn’t as strong as Hulk Hogan, as quick as the “Macho Man” Randy Savage, as titillating as Shawn Michaels or as controversial as Steve Austin. What Bret Hart brought to the ring was a professionalism and a strong work ethic to always put on the best show for the fans. Beloved all over the world Bret was able to make every opponent raise the bar and put on the best matches of their career. This collection is a wonderful reminder of the Hitman’s career.
