No Country for Old Men

Finally just watched it last night. The first 1 1/2 hours were tense and building pretty well, in spite of some improbable "oh come on" moments. Many things didn't fit together very well.
Last half hour was a meaningless "so what?" ending, and asking myself, "I watched this why?" No resolution.

Another one of those movies we're supposed to think is great because expert movie reviewers told us to. Who told them?

I just have to say at the opening, a sheriff or deputy has the bad guy in handcuffs in the sheriff's office, but NOT in a jail cell, and sits down at his desk to make a phone call with his back to the killer. What would he think is going to happen? That's one example.

Deadpool & Wolverine

Quite an accomplishment: A movie, with bathroom humor that only Junior high boys might get a kick out of. Yet it's rated R because it's too vile, vulgar, and bloody for them to see.

The Shawshank Redemption

Finally, after all these years, I watched it. Very good indeed, but do we really need numerous homosexual rapes in every prison movie? Disgusting.

Are we supposed to conclude that homosexuals are over-represented in the criminal population? Or that normal guys can CHOOSE to become homosexuals? But "oh no!" we're not supposed to think either of those things!

John Wick: Chapter 4

If my mind wanders, even during fight scenes, it's a bad sign that they're too long and repetitive.

A Man Called Otto

Ok movie, but they just had to weave the "trans" false doctrine in there, which was completely unnecessary to the film.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One

Good clean spectacular action movie. And somehow, they were able to do it without constant profanity, irrelevant sex, and insulting the audience with eye-rolling woke messaging. See, it can be done.
