The lead paragraph of teir review (Jluy 28, 2003) of the low-budget sword- and-sorcery movie Westender says-- An almost insanely ambitious project on a piddling budget, "Westender" goes for epic period proportions, a la "Lord of theRings," but plays more like a pilot for "Xena: Warrior Princess." Bold visual style, striking Oregon locations, and charismatic lead from Canuck thesp Blake Stadel almost make up for severe deficiencies in story and tone. later they add-- Too bad the script isn't up to all this visual splendor.
