Silverado is one of the last great westerns we have. Sure, Unforgiven is undoubtedly a better film (and one of the top twenty-five greatest films ever) but Lawrence Kasdan’s 1985 epic is easily one of the most fun westerns of our time.

It should, thanks to some pitch-perfect casting that begins with Kevin Kline as Paden. Kline’s thinking man persona is just poetry to watch as he embodies our level-headed hero.

Vibe magazine, the urban glossy founded in 1992 by legendary producer Quincy Jones, announced on Tuesday (June 30) that the publication is folding and will no longer produce print issues or publish its Web site, Vibe.com.
With the closing of the title, effective immediately, there now remains no large circulation print publication dedicated to covering hip-hop, R&B and fashion on a mainstream level.
During the magazine's memorable 16-year-run, a number of iconic covers were produced, chief among them images of Suge Knight's Death Row roster adorned all in black, and simple, striking photos of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and Aaliyah to mark their deaths. The magazine, however, will forever be remembered for its controversial coverage of the East Coast/ West Coast hip-hop rivalry, which inspired many of the scenes from the film "Notorious.
