Watched in 2017 (53 movies items)"12.4. Puolivammainen ja puoliviihdyttävä pankkirosvotarina jaksaa myös olla puoliksi kiinnostava. Jiihaa. Stetsonit ja preeriat saavat omat ylistyssävelet, kun kapitalistinen omistuskulttuuri omat kriittiset säkeensä."

Top 10 Manliest Movies of 2016 (10 movies items)" "I've been poor my whole life, like a disease passing from generation to generation. But not my boys, not anymore." Here's another slice of pure, solid gold masculine entertainment, a thriller so involving and competently-crafted that it even attracted some Oscar attention. Written by the same dude responsible for penning Sicario (another deservedly well-liked manly movie), this is a slow-going movie at times, but it remains involving nevertheless, not to mention it keeps you on the edge of you"
Movies viewed in 2017 (338 movies items)"5/3/17 Superb thriller about two brothers who are committing bank robberies while a wily old ranger is on their trail. With an unconventional storyline and the feel of a 70's slice of Americana, this is full of things that work, from the excellent performances to the stunning cinematography. Jeff Bridges is as good as ever and it's Chris Pine's best performance yet."

Films I've Seen in 2017 (February) (41 movies items)"When: February 27th First-Time Viewing: No. How: DVD from the library What'd I Think?: A well written, smart, modern day Western. My Rating: 9/10 Other Notes: NA."
“Esta es una de esas películas que tienen estilo, que no terminan de ser memorables para ciertas personas por su tono o estilo que esta carga encima, y ese es el aspecto que me encanta de esta obra, ser diferente en su genero, que es un western, pero sin ser un western como tal, ya que esta se ubica en la modernidad.
La historia no es una cosa fumada que hará marcar algo en el mundo cinematográfico, pero la trama y personajes son los que me mantienen a flote en este barco, por su formula característica que nos quiere mostrar para lograr hacer demás películas que tengan la iniciativa tan creativa como lo fue esta, y hasta me recuerda a Breaking Bad y True Detective en cierto punto.” read more

“Strongly made genre films are worth praising for the simple fact that they’re harder to make than they would initially appear. A dusty neo-western about a pair of brothers who rob banks in the mid-Texas area while being cashed by a gruff lawman? I’m sure you’ve seen it before, and I’m sure we’ll see it again. Doesn’t change the fact that Hell or High Water is one of the stronger recent entries, a solidly entertaining and engaging crime saga that proves the western isn’t down on the mat just yet. The strongest thing about Hell or High Water is a penchant for evading the obvious scenes of gun fights and carnage in favor of quiet, contemplative moments of character study. Not that there’s no gun fights, it just saves those for the very end when the characters are finally ” read more

While La La Land has a lot of love in every category it's nominated for, most would agree that it's script is not the strongest of the bunch (hell, I'd venture to say that it's the weakest in the pack). Manchester by the Sea, however, would likely be"
Moviewatcher122's 2017 Film Diary: Jan & Feb (28 movies items)"February 8 "You got a gun on you, old man?" "You're damn right I got a gun on me. Y'all going to steal my gun too?" "We ain't stealing from you. We're stealing from the bank." This movie is an instant classic, I'm already calling it right now. It's a great modern-day western mixed with a bank heist film, but it's also a powerful story with great characters, excellent dialogue and there's some light moments of humorous lines. I was highly invested in the journey of these two guys and in some "
