Every John Wayne Movie Available To Stream (On HBO Max, Prime, Hulu & More) – My Blog

In the course of his 50-year career, John Wayne appeared in 169 feature-length films, headlining many of them. He’s widely regarded as one of the most prominent actors in the heyday of the western, and considering how many of his movies appear on “best of” lists, it’s not surprising. While the western might be the genre with which he is most often associated, it is also true that he appeared in numerous others, including comedies and war movies.

The proliferation of streaming services has rendered many of his important movies available for an entirely new generation of audiences.
The Green Berets (1968) – HBO Max

Throughout his career, John Wayne was associated with a certain sort of American male identity, one predicated on rugged masculinity and a belief in the country. Thus, it’s not surprising that he appeared in The Green Berets, a war movie that takes a pro-military stance regarding the Vietnam War.
While it might over-simplify the war and its causes, there’s no question that John Wayne’s character of Mike Kirby exhibits the traits that are most often associated with him and that he possesses a sinister and stern sort of charisma.
Stagecoach (1939) – HBO Max & Prime Video

One of John Ford’s most famous westerns, Stagecoach was John Wayne’s breakout role. Although he was in earlier lower-budget movies, Ford’s decision to cast him in the big budget Stagecoach almost scuttled the film before it was made, since no one wanted to take a chance on it.
Wayne plays Ringo Kid, an outlaw who ends up under guard on a stagecoach braving its way across the plain, surviving attacks and falling in love. Even at this early stage in his career, Wayne showed that he had the sort of charisma that would make him a star.
The Long Voyage Home (1940) – HBO Max

This is one of the rarer Wayne films that isn’t a western or a World War II or later war film, instead being set at the beginning of World War I aboard a tramp steamer. Directed by the ever-present John Ford, it shows a crew of motley seamen as the ship they’re on carries explosives against their wishes across the Atlantic through the war zone to aid in the European war effort.
The film’s brooding, noirish style is a different move for Ford, though Wayne still shows his signature tough-as-nails persona.
The Alamo (1960) – Prime Video

There are few incidents in American history quite as famous as the battle at the Alamo, and it has made many appearances in movies. In this movie, he plays Davy Crockett (earlier played by Fess Parker in a number of movies for Disney, which are now available on Disney+), one of the key defenders of the doomed fort.
As is so often the case with movies from this period of Wayne’s career, it is very much an expression of his own personal politics, particularly as these relate to the themes of individual freedom and the right to fight for what one believes in.
The Sons Of Katie Elder (1965) – Prime Video

Dean Martin is Wayne’s co-star in this movie, playing a gambler to Wayne’s gunman. The two play brothers, who along with their two other brothers meet up at their mother’s funeral to talk about how they were all disappointments to her- not least because they left her alone to live in poverty.
Like the best westerns, it utilizes the conventions of the genre to raise broader questions about family, individual responsibility, and the loyalty one owes to a legacy.
McLintock! (1963) – Prime Video

Though a western, this movie has more comedy than is usual with Wayne. Based on The Taming of the Shrew, Wayne plays the titular McLintock, a rich man who has interests in practically every industry in the west.
Notably, it is more complex in its engagement with the familiar issues of the western genre, making it slightly less jarring to modern sensibilities. It’s also full of laughs and slapstick and, as such, is an ideal watch even for those who aren’t fans of the western. It remains one of Wayne’s best movies.
Hondo (1953) – Hulu & Paramount+

Wayne is a rider for the US Calvary and is the only survivor of his troop after an attack that wiped them all out. As is usual in movies of this type, Wayne is a very violent and brutal sort of western figure, but his rough edges are slowly sanded away by the love of a woman.
Moreover, the movie is surprisingly nuanced in the way that it addresses the plight of Native Americans and the fact that their way of life is being inevitably pushed aside by White settlers.
True Grit (1969) – Hulu & Paramount+

True Grit is the first adaptation of the book with this name (the other being by the Coens, which remains one of their best movies). As was the case with many movies in this stage of Wayne’s career, it has a comedic edge, especially as his character of Rooster Cogburn is at times difficult to take seriously.
While he can be a bit foolish and is something of an antihero, the movie is nevertheless a testament to Wayne’s skill as an actor and his willingness to poke fun at his own heroic movie persona.
The Quiet Man (1952) – Hulu & Paramount+

Even though Wayne is most associated with westerns and war movies, The Quiet Man is an exception to this, falling squarely within the traditions of romantic comedy. In this movie, Wayne portrays a boxer who returns to Ireland and falls in love.
It shines because it features beautiful shots of the Irish countryside. More notably, however, it is also one of the several pairings of Wayne with Maureen O’Hara, and there is no denying the profound chemistry that existed between these two stars of classic Hollywood.
The Shootist (1976) – Hulu & Paramount+

The Shootist is rightly regarded as one of the best westerns of all time, and it also has the distinction of being John Wayne’s last movie. It articulates many of the themes that were constants in Wayne’s career, and though it’s clear that he was ill during the shooting of the movie, he nevertheless still manages to exude the power and charisma that he always had.
When, in the end, he is killed, it seems like the fitting conclusion to a giant star’s fabled career.
Honorable Mentions:
On Amazon Prime: The Horse Soldiers and Blue Steel; Paramount+ has many of his earlier western roles.

Woman Attempting To Sleep With One Person From Every Country Shares The Worst Nationality In Bed

A woman has opened up about her sexual escapades and which country had the best (and worst) lovers

An adult entertainer who has slept with men from all over the world has spilled the tea on her worst and best lovers (so far).

Adult entertainer Coco Bae has slept with men from over 40 countries and counting.

Some of these include America, Canada, the UK, Israel, Australia, Haiti, and Coco wants to eventually cover all 195 countries.

As her mission continues, the adult star has been ‘collecting flags’ from each nationality she’s slept with to keep track of her sexual escapades.

“My rules are to count the country on his passport, not where the dude happens to be living at the time of our encounter,” she said.

Listing off the countries she’s ‘visited’ (if you get me), Coco went on to tell PerthNow:

“I’ve had men from America, Canada, the UK, Israel, Australia, Haiti, El Salvador, Holland, Norway, Greece, France, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Belize, Djibouti, Nicaragua, Italy, Guatemala, Switzerland and Argentina.”

“And then Honduras, Costa Rica, Thailand, Russia, Columbia? I’m not sure. Albania, Brazil. India, Spain, Peru, Lebanon, Algeria, Croatia, Serbia. Armenia, Scotland, Ukraine and New Zealand.” Impressive.

Coco also answered the question on everyone’s minds: which countries have so far been the best and worst in bed?

According to the adult star, Latinos are the most ‘intense’ in bed.

“My lovers from Brazil were the most enjoyable to be with,” she said.

“They were just up for having fun, whichever way it happens.”

Coco also revealed that men from more conservative countries are quite experimental when it comes to sex.

“Many of the conservative cultures enjoy the most ‘out there’ acts. For example, I have come across many Arab and Indian dudes who really like booty action in various forms,” said Coco.

As for the worst country in bed, apparently her most boring partners have been from Germany.

While they weren’t the best, Coco did praise German men being eager to please and how they apparently ask for feedback.

She also chatted to Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O, where she shared what her experiences with Aussie men has been like.

“Australian men need to step it up a little bit,” she shared.

“You’re just not putting in any effort. And you need to wash your hands.”

Speaking of how much she loves a tradesman – a popular vocation in Australia – Coco encouraged guys to make sure they ‘scrub behind their fingernails’.

A fair point, if you ask me.

Kanye West Shares Provocative Video Of Wife Bianca In Bed And Fans Can’t Stop Pointing Out How Big It Is

It’s pretty common for Kanye West to post photos of his wife, Bianca Censori, and for fans to go wild over them.

The ‘Golddigger’ rapper has shared a lot of pictures and videos of his Australian wife.

These range from her daring, barely-there outfits to her strange, all-in-one body stockings.

Kanye is also known for making bold comments to get attention, like speaking out against critics.

Recently, the couple has stirred up even more buzz with a new social media post.

They shared a video from their bedroom, and there’s one detail that fans just can’t stop talking about.

On Instagram, Kanye posted a video showing Bianca lying on a bed surrounded by pillows.

She was dressed in all white, including white heels and a tight-fitting outfit.

It looked like she was on her phone, not paying much attention to Kanye, who was breathing heavily behind the camera.

The fans overlooked Bianca’s outfit and focused on the enormous size of the bed she was on.

It looked twice the size of a Super King bed, with enough room for more than five pillows.

One fan commented, “Bed can fit 5 [families] with 6 individuals.”

Another added, “It’s gotta be a nightmare trying to find a fitted sheet for that!”

A third fan mentioned that the huge bed resembled the one from Kanye’s 2016 music video for ‘Famous’.

Kanye soon deleted the video without giving any reason.

Even though the video is no longer available, Kanye is no stranger to sharing provocative content featuring his wife, whether in revealing outfits or suggestive poses.

Bianca seems to be on board with her husband’s posts.

However, not everyone is thrilled, especially her father, who has previously voiced his concerns about the content.

According to a source speaking to DailyMail.com, Bianca’s father, Leo, has asked Kanye to meet with him to talk about the explicit content being shared.

The source said, “Kanye has been invited to go to Australia, and Bianca is hesitant to allow this to happen because she knows how her father will react.”

“Her dad still plans to have a sit-down with Kanye, and Leo will not be intimidated by Kanye’s power or control. No one is expecting this to be all rainbows and family portraits.”

Despite this, Bianca is reportedly more than happy to go along with her husband’s ideas.

An insider told PageSix, “People are confusing Bianca’s creativity. She is a phenomenal personality, a phenomenal actor, who can entertain the public.”

“She’s a performance artist. Bianca is as much a performer as Ye is.”

Bianca and Kanye have been married since 2022, following Kanye’s high-profile split and divorce from his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. Kanye has four children with Kim: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

Singer turns 58, people barely recognize Samantha Fox

If you are someone who was attuned to the celebrity scene in the 1980s, then you might remember Samantha Fox. She started out as a model, and by the end, her career had led to her becoming a musician.

While she was incredibly famous at one point, she is not in the mainstream these days. She was at one point the most photographed woman in the UK.

Keep reading to learn more about it.

From days when she was a staple on page 3 to then becoming a globally recognized music star, Samantha Fox is still loved by millions around the world. She was born in North London on April 15, 1966. She was born to parents were Carole Fox and Patrick Fox. She had a younger sister named Vanessa, who sadly passed away in 2023.

Her mother, Carole Ann was an actress, and father, John Patrick was a carpenter. They were married from 1965 to 1988. Her mother passed away 2013, while her father passed in 2000.

Samantha Fox began her career when she entered a modeling competition when she was 16 years old. Her mother entered her in the Sunday People’s ‘Face and Shape of 1983’ competition. She ended up being one of the finalists, and the photographer was impressed by her ‘unusual’ proportions and natural beauty.

He said, “face of a child and the body of a woman”, and told her to do some topless shots. She agreed, and that lead to her becoming a regular Page 3 girl in The Sun newspaper from 1983 to 1986.

In the 1980s, she was one of the most photographed people in the UK, and in 1986, she began her music career.

She debuted with her single Touch Me (I Want Your Body) which helped her shoot to fame. She then released more songs like Naughty Girls and more all of which only increased her celebrity. In her personal life, she had her fair share of problems, including a legal battle with her father over mismanagement of her earnings.

Despite all of the issues in her personal life, she wanted to make sure she still released music throughout it. She was always a big advocate for the LGBTQIA+, having married Linda Olsen in 2022. Now at 58 years old, she is still busy in her career.

Over the years she has had several transformations. Her talent has helped her persevere and reinvent herself. Samantha Fox initially started out as a model with a provocative image.

She remained active in the 1980s and 1990s. Apart from her music, she has made appearances in films and TV shows. She also participated in reality TV over the years.

Her father oversaw her career until she found out that he had taken more than £1 million from her income. She decided to pursue legal action against him in 1991. She won the lawsuit in 1995 and received a settlement of £363,000. The two of them never reconciled and he passed away in 2000.

In 1988, she received a nomination for Best British Female Artist at the Brit Awards. She collaborated with other artists which include the legends Freddie Mercury. She is even working on music now, releasing her latest album in 2023 produced by Ian Masterson.

She married her Norwegian wife, Linda Olsen in 2022 in a ceremony in Essex. The couple had been engaged since February 2020. They met at a concert and Olsen was a fan of the singer. They now live together in East London with Olsen’s son Adam and their two pet cats.

Before marrying Olsen, the singer had dated many people which included men and women. She dated the infamous Peter Foster in the 1980s but did not accept his proposal. She publicly came out as gay in 2003. At the time she made her relationship with then-manager Myra Stratton public. The couple were together for 16 years until Stratton passed due to cancer in 2015.

Samantha Fox later revealed she knew she was gay but did not want to admit it because of the stigma surrounding it.

Fox has said that she knew she was gay before meeting Stratton, but she was afraid to admit it because of the stigma and the pressure from the media.

She described herself as a “very happy woman” who is “very much in love” with Olsen.

It is wonderful to see how Samatha Fox is doing these days. Share this with other fans of the singer so they can see what she has been up to.
