Without Remorse (2021)
What Do You Expect?
A guy with elite military skills is a victim of a crime so heinous that it means...
War.
Armed with weapons that never need reloading and more ammo than one person could possibly carry, he takes on the Russian equivalent of Star Wars troopers, who can't hit the building he is hiding in.
For, like, an hour.
Oh yeah, the corruption goes all the way to the top. It was a setup.
The Alpines (2021)
Script sucked, but at least the acting was terrible
A bunch of confusing talk among people whose reason for knowing each other is unclear except that it involved college. Convenient storm isolates them in remote cabin. Old jealousies are revealed and milked for an hour. And then some bloody action and we're outa here without dealing with what happens next.
Hustlers (2019)
Hard to believe the 6.3 rating
"Here's my idea for a movie. Killer sound track and J-Lo's naked buttocks."
"What about a plot."
"That WAS the plot."
Hookers with hearts of gold drug and rob rich men.
Mind Games (2021)
Worst movie I ever watched all the way through
Long setup, and then a "twist" mailed in from Nepal.
"Here's my idea for a movie. A woman is kidnapped and locked in a remote location."
"Then what."
"That's it."
"Doesn't it need an ending?"
"Start shooting. I'll think of something."
Gemini Man (2019)
Suspension of disbelief
First scene is Will Smith hitting a target in a moving train at an impossible distance.
A few scenes later the two greatest hitmen (one is a clone of the other) exchange hundreds of rounds from military weapons at 50 yards, and can't hit each other.
Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)
An original plot
Professional assassins pursue a kid who has dangerous secrets. The kid is protected by a stranger, a resourceful individual who has personal demons and a useful set of skills.
Somehow the mismatched pair survive multiple attempts on their lives by strangely bumbling assassins who appear to be Marv and Harry from "Home Alone." By the end of the film, the protector is battered but alive, and the hitmen aren't.
We never find out what the kid knows that is so dangerous or why so many resources can be deployed.
They don't make movies like that every day.
Wait. Yes they do.
The Lone Ranger: Homer with a High Hat (1954)
At long last I have found it
When I was a child, I had a memory of the Lone Ranger episode in which "Doc Bogus" was described as having counterfeit money named after him. It didn't make sense to me, because I was then unfamiliar with the term "bogus." I never forgot that name though.
Many years later I adopted "Doc Bogus" as my Internet handle, but I could never find any verification that I had originally heard the name on a Lone Ranger episode.
I can now rest a little more easily, knowing when I had actually heard it.
