Lone Man With Gun: July 31, 2015: Six Ways to Die

I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole.  First, I don't like Tom Sizemore, and featuring a man holding a gun and a fast car does nothing for me besides signaling that this is a mediocre action movie. The tag line "Six Way to Day and One Death Isn't Enough" What does it even mean! Will pass.

Posters with Guns: Weekend of April 3, 2015. Cut Bank

    
He's the sheriff, so must carry gun.     

Billed as an "All American Thriller", starring Liam Hemsworth the Australian, John Malkovich, Bruce Dern, Billy Bob Thornton and Theresa Palmer (who?). Directed by Matt Shakman.

Here is another of my pet peeves. Have you noticed that too many movies are billed as "American this" or "American that"? I guess America (meaning the United States, we're not talking about Canada, or any of the countries in South America, I don't think.) with all its' supposedly unique indiosyncracies, sells to the world, and to itself.

Weekend of February 20, 2015; No Guns! Best Bet: McFarland USA

So, none of the movies opening this weekend had posters showing people carrying guns. Good job, movie industry. Best bet this weekend might be McFarland, USA, starring Kevin Costner, Directed by Niki Caro.


Based on the poster, this movie might be about Latino kids, sportsmanship, athletic champions, and Kevin Costner as some kind of white man mentor. I do like Kevin Costner in general because of his pensive wise man persona. I do like uplifting and inspirational movies featuring people striving to succeed and learning good values. This movie seems to fit the bill.

Will watch it when I get the time.
