The Good, The Bad, The Weird

This is on at the IFI in a week or so, and I just posted a review to the Film Reviews thread. I call it a mix of Western, Indiana Jones, and Warner Brothers cartoon: great scenery, lots of guns, a bit of gore, and some really weird characters. Highly recommended, and lots of fun, as long as you leave your brain at the door…

You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

Are you going by the listed time? It wasn't the kind of film that had me looking at my watch.

edit: here's the trailer:

I just thought it could have been edited down by a good 20/30 minutes.

Still enjoyable though.

I was at the IFI screening yesterday.

It did drag a little in places.

But it is still a fantastic little film. All the stunts felt very real... it really is what the new Indianna Jones movie should have been instead of the CGI mess that we got.
