Rented a DVD last night, a western: Forsaken. This was released to theaters 2/19 and was scheduled for disk release on 2/29, but bumped to 2/19. Never heard of it? Me neither, until I read an interview with one of the actors in the "Cowboys & Indians" magazine, which does nice bits on upcoming western-genre movies by well-known stars. I was a little trepedatious considering how I had been suckered into viewing "Bone Tomahawk," a movie that I cannot unsee the grisly parts of the last 20 minutes of the film.

Anyway, this movie -- Forsaken -- is REALLY, REALLY good. A good old-fashioned western starring Kiefer Sutherland and his dad Donald in son/father roles. The frosting on the cake is the character Gentleman Dave, the likes of which we haven't seen or enjoyed since Val Kilmer did Doc Holiday in Tombstone. The villians are sufficiently greasy, the characters well-developed, and the plot plausible and progresses nicely. Demi Moore appears as the love interest. Nice Canadian scenery.

will definitely have to check it out. The DH & I both love westerns. Tombstone is in my top 10 favorite movies ever, and Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday is legend!
 
Captain America Civil War now has Spiderman & Ant Man added to it's side show collection of super heroes and oddities. For some reason the studios think the more people you cram into a movie- the better the box office. Avengers & X Men already had inflated casts - it's at the point where you don't know who is doing what. I find the movies very hard to follow, and don't like the very diluted performances of the HERO I came to see. Cap.America is one of my favorites and I'm wondering just how much air time he will have.

Does this bug any one else?

No, I just ignore it. It costs a lot of money to make action block-buster type movies, they are cross-marketing to try to get people to see movies with these other characters in them. It's advertising... They need to get their bucketloads of money somehow, if they want to throw in extra characters, or do product placement all over the place, I just recognise it for what it is and don't let it bother me.
