“Man of the East,” a comedic Italian Western starring Terence Hill and directed by Enzo Barboni as “E.B. Clucher,” opened in U.S. theaters on May 1, 1974, as a release through United Artists. I saw it at the old Turnpike Cinema in Fairfax, Va., now long gone. Come to think of it, United Artists is long gone too, at least in its 1974 form. The poster outside the theater carried comic artwork of Hill in a goofy pose on horseback. The tagline read, “The Magnificent One!,” an abbreviated version of the original Italian title, “. . .

Oleg Pogodin's Дом (Home) would be very much your typical domestic drama were it not for one very important point. It's got its squabbling siblings and remote parents and simmering sexual tensions and the return of a long absent son to bring it all to a boil but it's also got assassins. Lots of them.Set in the remote Russian steppes Pogodin - who previously directed action flicks Man Of The East and We Are From The Future 2 - tells the story of the Shamanov family, particularly son Stepan who returns to the family home following a fifteen year absence with a gang of killers on his tail.We ran the very action oriented first trailer for this one a while back and it has...

The Shamanov family is much like many others. Living off in the remote Russian steppes they don't particularly get along. Don't much like each other, if the truth be told. But when Stepan returns after a fifteen year absence with a gang of hired killers on his tail ... well, the line has to be drawn somewhere.Veteran director Oleg Pogodin (Man Of The East, We Are From The Future 2) turns in what looks to be a most unusual action picture with Home (Dom, Дом) - a film notable both for the gorgeous photography of a seldom seen region and the unusual premise.
