Desperation Road (2023)
Very Easy Way To Spend a Friday Night.
Easily one of the very best movies I've watched in not just 2023 but in a very long time. Garrett Hedlund, Mel Gibson (no surprise as far as he nails another role), and Willa Fitzgerald are all award-worthy for the parts they play in this never-heard-about (speaking for me at least) beautiful, easy-to-put-yourself-in-each-character shoe drama. It's REAL. I'm not quite sure why Hedlund hasn't been given a big-time lead role in either a Movie or a dramatic-type TV role. Mel as usual just falls right into place with his role and Fitzgerald shows her dramatic chops with her portrayal of a complicated, wanting-to-do-the-right-thing type of person. Sorry for the run-on type review, long story short, it's an easy way to spend a late Fall or early Winter night.
Citadel (2023)
Rob Stark + is perhaps the most beautiful woman on planet earth.
Sux there were just 6 episodes, each episode had its own mini-cliffhanger. One of those shows that won't let you stop. Richard Madden is building himself up quite the resume. His Co-Star plays a phenomenal role and is as David Letterman used to say, "very easy on the eyes. Stanley Tucci takes a break from his CNN show Something Italy and plays a very believable, keep you guessing kinda part. I've always been a huge fan of his and don't recall too many parts like this. Take a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to easily get through the 6 episodes, you won't regret it. Oh and by the way, Rob Stark (Madden), should join Kit (Jon Snow) in some well-thought-out capacity in Jon's new show, which I believe is actually called 'Snow'
