Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)
I guess P.T. Barnum was right
After seeing this "movie" and reading other people's rave reviews I guess old PT had it right... Then again one man's art is another man's junk...but after sitting this this morass I'm more in the junk department. Something about silk purse from sow's ear. This no start, no end piece of film is supposed to share with us some character development in the early 60's Village scene with a mix of folk songs, protest songs etc era. We are allowed to watch a poor me schlump who screws up everything he touches and can't seem to get any traction in his life. This story could've had deeper depth and character movement but fails in every capacity. The end leaves the viewer with what the hell did I pay for this trash and we see the Emperor has no clothes but all the rave reviewers are extolling the virtues of the fine brocade and imported silks. My advice? Save your $$$, don't even rent it at the usual places. Somehow the Coen Bros stock just fell a bit and reminded us that even Babe Ruth strikes out once in awhile.
Wyatt Earp's Revenge (2012)
Worst Western Ever
I've seen Westerns for many many years and this is by far the worst ever. Makes one wonder where the supposed 3M budget went because it certainly didn't go to the actors. Watching Val Kilmer struggle in this one, brought up how difficult it must be for actors that are past their prime and are willing to do grade F movies for a buck. The actors that they found to surround Kilmer must have been extras that they gave double scale pay to pretend they had talent. I kept watching trusting that at some point the movie would pick up and get better but as the minutes ticked by, I found myself getting more disappointed that I'd wasted more time on something that wasn't going anywhere fast. I've literally seen better movies done by high school and college students. Save your $$$ and pass this pathetic excuse of a movie by.
