I honestly don't understand all of the ecstatic reviews for this movie. A predictable, sentimental, feel-good script that panders to its audience. Nothing to see here -- move along.

All rabbits look alike to me
31 December 2018
A predictable, conventional story of good versus evil, strong versus weak set in the world of rabbits. 'Nuff said.
The best lines in the movie are at the very end, but don't take this as a recommendation to slog through this epic. It ain't worth it.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

An interesting 2 hours -- worth the time
17 November 2018
This is not a traditional movie. It consists of vignettes -- snapshots of life in the West of the 1880s. Fabulous cinematography, great performances, entertaining script. Coen brothers have earned the right to explore whatever subject that suits their fancy. More, please.
Jungle
(I) (2017)
Survival movie
5 March 2018
Young guys seeking adventure trek into South American jungle as if it were a tourist destination. They are clueless and have no survival skills. You can fill in the blanks from there. Still, if you like survival movies -- as I do -- this is worth a look. High production values and credible acting. I enjoyed the ride.

High expectations -- low results
4 March 2018
Given all the 10- and 9-star reviews, I was expecting something interesting (at least). After two episodes, I bailed. I'm old; life is too short; there are much better ways to spend my entertainment time.
Production value will never trump story. Eye candy (great production value) is not enough to sustain interest. Gotta have a compelling story (or, better, several conjoined stories that converge in a satisfying conclusion).
If it's any help, I thought "Firefly" was great scifi.

You'll regret your choice in the morning

Sometimes you just need an easy movie to get you through the night. This is not a horrible movie. Indeed, once I had one foot in, it pulled me through to the end. But there are so many other better choices. I was lazy and went with this one.
