Echo in the Canyon (2018)
A combination of fascinating and frustrating.
This is a story of what happened in Laurel Canyon in the 60's and it is a must for any lovers of the music coming out of the west coast that fits in well with the documentary about the Wrecking Crew. But in order to hear the amazing stories about the cross pollination, you have to put up with Jakob Dylan, who not only seems to have no chemistry with the people he is interviewing, to the point where you get the idea that the questions were coming from offscreen, but seems to think we need to hear his take on the songs. I thought it was amazingly self indulgent. I don't know if this was done because the producers couldn't get the original songs, did not have enough original interview material or if Jakob thinks he is better than them, but I'm not interested in his music making process. I want the stories not recreations.
Captain Marvel (2019)
Amazing.... Am I the only guy not afraid of women in movies?
A bunch of snowflakes get their dander up because they see women on the screen. I found the movie to be quite good. It's not the best Marvel movie, but it is far from the worst.
The talk about a political agenda is non-existent. It's a fraud.
I enjoyed the movie and didn't read into it what all the pathetic losers thinking themselves victims read into it.
The cult of victimhood gives people free rein to victimize others. This was a clear example, because the movies is not what the cult wants you to think.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)
The Coen Brothers have done it again.
I like almost everything that the Coen Brothers put out and this one does not disappoint. It is an anthology, which means you can take it in small doses if you want to. And I can understand if someone would, because it contains some of the darkest tales the brothers have ever put out. Some are dark comedies, but rest assured, they are as unrelentingly dark as the dramas. The writing is absolutely superb, right there with the best of their films. You will have your favorite tale and possibly another that you won't find appealing at all, but the movie will not not let a Coen Brothers fan down. Fair warning, the final story will haunt you. Enjoy the legends of the old west Coen style.
Super Drags (2018)
It could have been SO much better.
I was pleasantly surprised to see this pop up on Netflix and Quickly started watching. My happiness waned as I watched because the humor is incredibly stale and dated, like something from a old style burlesque show or a early 70's naughty sketch comedy movie. A cartoon like this wouldn't be made in the U.S., not because it is too risque, but because it is childish to the point of being offensive while simultaneously being marketed directly to adults. These jokes are little different than the Ambiguously Gay Duo from a generation ago. Bulging crotches and gay stereotypes are things I've outgrown. As much as I want to like a show about drag queen superheroes, I'd rather not have my intelligence insulted.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
What did I watch?
Can someone explain this movie to me? Don't tell me the plot, I know the plot, what there is of it. Just tell me what I saw.
It's one thing to create a movie with a lot of special effects, but when you sit in an overly long movie, you hope that the plot makes actual sense.
Sitting through the the movie, I continually asked myself, "How can you explain that?" and "Why don't they just...?" Needless to say, I'm depressed that I spent money to see this. I put money in Michael Bay and the producer's pockets." That will encourage them to create more of this tripe.
