Forsaken (2015)
A nice western with interesting twists.
Like many of the reviews I agree that this western draws on many traditional tropes. Gunfighter after the civil war trying to get away from his past. The damsel in distress. The villainous banker/rancher. The fancy gunfighter working for the villain, and a southerner at that.
That said it is not Unforgiven or True Grit or Silverado. It is however a good western to watch with popcorn. There are few surprises except one twist at the end. Great quiet acting performances from great actors including two Southerlands, Moore, and Cox. Interesting performances by other actors.
I would recommend this movie as part of a day of binge watching westerns. .
Thanks, Smokey! (2011)
Ok, this surprised.
This really surprised me. Its got a really funny last few seconds.
Ya, its deep in the kinky bizarre but really funny.
Not sure but the story i heard is it was an anti-marijuana piece originally which is where the Smokey part came from. Not sure if its true. Seems hard to believe. Did they intend to say if you smoked pot you would mistake sheep for women?
Still, its funny.
