Definitely not Walter Hill's strongest outing. Dern is severely underused in this, not so subtle, "A Fistful of Dollars". The gun mechanics are kinda cool, with the over the top action literally throwing people dozens of feet.

Clarice
(2021)
Set in the 90s with to much of a 21st century point of view.
20 December 2021
What a great little series. Sure there are a few little things that slow it down, like them not being able to use Hannibal's name and the continual pushing back on the release of individual episodes. The biggest negative for me was the whole black coalition side arc that really had no legs; partially because it was a prejudice contest to see who was persecuted more and that really took away from Clarice's fight as a woman in a male dominated workplace. All in all though, I do hope for a second season.
Cowboy Bebop
(2021)
Come on Netflix
20 November 2021
Predictable, campy and not enough space for this cowboy. It felt like Scott Pilgrim meets Firefly, and that is not in any way a compliment. Not to mention the terrible casting, which I'm sure is part of the reason the fight scenes were so stiff and unbelievably choreographed; the extras were better martial artists.
The Dead Don't Die
(2019)
Deadpan fun
11 October 2021
I really enjoyed this, despite being turned off initially by the bad reviews. Great star-studded cast who all excel at deadpan, small town America humour. I especially loved the 4th wall breaks and the awesome dust effect as opposed to blood. This is how you do horror comedy.
He Got Game
(1998)
Overrated
3 June 2021
Full of awkward, clunky dialogue. The pacing is slow and full of odd little montages, especially the gratuitous nudity filled tirade care of Big Time Willie. On top of all that I'd hoped for a good soundtrack care of Public Enemy, nah, a couple good tunes but the rest of the soundtrack seems like it was created for a completely different movie. It doesn't flow at all; speaking of which, what an odd ending.
Jason and the Argonauts
(1963)
All show and no tell.

This rating is strictly for the amazing visuals by the animation department. Talos is great, the harpies are very underrated and the skeleton fight scene is so well crafted. Story and acting feel like a serialized daytime tv show.
