The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
Just write Metaphor on a rock and hit me between the eyes with it.
Ok, fine. We neighbours can't stand one another after eons of common culture. It's so bad we will self harm. The Constabulary are vile and abusive. Hit me with the rock already.
Verse 1:
Ireland, land of the shamrock and green
Where the people are friendly and the whiskey is mean
From the Cliffs of Moher to the streets of Dublin town
The Irish spirit is alive and it can't be brought down
Chorus:
Oh, the Irish people, they're one of a kind
With laughter and love in their hearts and their minds
They'll sing you a song and buy you a round
And make sure you never hit the ground
Verse 2:
From the rolling hills to the rugged coast
Ireland's beauty will leave you feeling boast
Filled with ancient myths and modern tales
Ireland's history will never fail to enthral
Chorus:
Oh, the Irish people, they're one of a kind
With laughter and love in their hearts and their minds
They'll sing you a song and buy you a round
And make sure you never hit the ground
Bridge:
With a pint in hand and a smile on their face
The Irish know how to make the most of their place
So come and join us, in this Emerald Isle
And let the good times, just pile and pile
Outro:
Ireland, land of the shamrock and green
Where the people are friendly and the whiskey is mean
So raise a glass and let's cheers to the Irish
For they're the ones who make life so delirious.

Paperback Hero (1973)
Desperately desperately bad.
Unbelievable stilted dialogue. Nasty misogynist ogre for leading character...not redeemable even if the character is intended to be out of step with the times. You cannot possibly award a star for the acting in the leads. My goodness, from an iconic role in 2001 to dreadfully voiced and dreadfully directed. The editing is amateurish. Yup, as good as it got in Canadian cinema in the 70s....no wait, there was Going Down the Road...try that. You 'll never get back the 90 minutes of your life wasted on this turkey. So what if Gordon Lightfoot sings a bit. I would have rather watched Gordon LIghtfoot tuning his guitar for 90 minutes.
