Argylle (2024)
Worst Movie This Side Of Babylon
I have seen some bad movies in my time Babylon certainly is the number one on that list but this one is a very very close second. A poorly arranged fantasy that was so forgettable. I did forget that this was somebody's bad version of a book but it's really just a bad version of a movie. It is the most waste of money and time that you'll never get back in your entire life. There is nothing I can say negative about this that could possibly capture how bad it was.
For real a film where the female protagonist skates on an oil leak! That's right, I said skating on an oil spill while assassinating sundry characters with her automatic weapon, which never runs out of bullets. And if you think that's stupid, the rest of the movie is exactly the same!
Western Stars (2019)
A Vintage Artist Takes On The Present While Looking at the Past!
Despite what a few bitter sadly misinformed right wingers like iamjamalwhite might try to say; this is a side of Springsteen I haven't always enjoyed but in this personal Opus he climbs the Country/Western Mountain without sacrificing his essential self. You won't find any E Street here but Patti Scialfa shows up and the essence that has made Springsteen exceed his peers by decades now shows up in spades. To those who can't separate their low brow politics from Artistic Appreciation I feel sorry for them. I don't care much for Clint Eastwood's politics but I never let it stop me from enjoying his Producing/Direction/Acting. Springsteen stands up for he feels is fair and the way most of his audience would think. You won't find much of that in this intimate look at his Western side; just remember most of the "West" filmed in this was a horse barn in South Jersey!
