Joe Darnell is joined by our friend and special guest Chad Hopkins to review ‘The Magnificent Seven’, directed by Antoine Fuqua. Like other modern Western remakes ‘True Grit’ and ‘3:10 to Yuma’, a star-infused gunslinging adventure packs lots of thrills. Maybe lite on realism? Doesn’t matter, it makes up for it in old-fashioned heroics and horseback rides.
