They could have adapted Zelazny's This Immortal but made this piece of crap instead. That's Hollywood for you: first they rip off a concept, then rip the guts out of it, then serve it up to the pablum-eating know-nothings of the 21st Century. What a world.

When the Hemingway family were having their estate sale I went and purchased Ernest's built-in shit detector. Since that day, I can tell whether a film is any good after 30 seconds of screen time. I am never wrong.

The White Buffalo (1977) 1080p - 6/10. My brothers, when the great warrior goes out to seek his death he should find it, not some cheap-o animatronic steam-snorting white rug. Chief Dino did not come across with enough wampum, I guess, which means he must wander howling between the worlds for the rest of time. Still, the council he assembled was formidable: Bronson, Warden (never better), Pickens, Whitman, Carradine, Novak, Samson, Walker. The medicine they made was not strong, but the dialogue had a certain hackneyed charm I still enjoy. A 6/10 flick, but a 6/10 flick I will re-visit often.

Dirty Dingus McGee (1970) Director: Burt Kennedy Stars: Frank Sinatra, George Kennedy, Anne Jackson and a hot Louise Nettelton. Actually enjoyed watching this spoof, check out Nettelton as she transforms her character Prudence. 7/10  

No Way Out (1987) Remake of The Big Clock magazine pub house replaced by the Pentagon its watchable 7/10

The Last Frontier - 5/10 - A bunch of B Movie cliches ground into an inedible Western sausage. If it weren't for the scenery you wouldn't know Anthony Mann directed this.

The Mechanic (1972) - 9/10. Bronson is da man, and Jan-Michael Vincent turns in an Oscar-worthy impression of Groggy, years before Groggy was born. A very lean film--every one of its 100 minutes counts. And then, in the middle of this Michael Winner film, suddenly they go to Naples! A Winner film with a budget? Yes, and maybe once there were unicorns, also.

OK, maybe the "9" was a bit generous. But an "8" for sure. I guess I was just excited by the TT transfer, which makes the film look as good as ever without introducing an alternate color scheme, artificially sharpening details, turning everyone's complexion red. And, when I was defending the film to stanton I mentioned 4 explosions--but in fact, there are 6! And there's an incredibly nice bit with a car overturning--and disintegrating--down a slope. And this film has truly one of the greatest endings in cinema history.

Age of Ultron (2015) I can't actually find the will to go to this. I did read the quotes posted at IMDb, though, and as snappy banter they run about "7". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2395427/trivia?tab=qt&ref_=tt_trv_qu

I saw it on the big screen in Missoula, Mt. wasn't impressed either.

I'm getting dragged by friends even though I lost interest in the Marvel movies around Iron Man 3.

The System aka The Girl-Getters (1964) 7/10

Somehow the most unfunny people alive, the Brits, often manage to be so unintentionally funny ...
