New Release Tuesday

Fast cars, crashes, babes, and muscled up bald guys make this series a huge guilty pleasure for many.  R.I.P. Paul Walker, he seemed like a pretty cool guy in real life and word is Universal is marching on with part 7 as they have shut down production to rewrite and figure out how to retire Walker’s character.   This looks like a lot of fun and we get one cool dude that shows up at the end of this.

Billy Bob Thornton is a pretty cool, normal dude that just throws out a lot junk about himself just to see what will stick and because of this people thinks he is a weirdo.   He does all this as he sits there and laughs to himself and thinks are these people (mainly the press) really going to believe this story?  The guy is a brilliant screenwriter as One False Move and Slingblade are fantastically crafted stories and he proved to be a good director too.   Billy Bob got frustrated with Hollywood as his version of 2000’s All the Pretty Horses was cut to shreds so he basically gave Hollywood the finger and only acts in about a movie a year to support his band the Boxmasters.  Unfortunately he gave up writing and directing until now.  Cannot wait to check this out and I hope it is successful so Billy Bob will give his audience some more scripts he is sitting on.  This has the great Robert Duvall in it so it is sure to be great!

I caught this in the theater and it was not as good as the first one but the smaller people here in the house enjoyed it.

It’s a spaghetti western with Lee Van Cleef.  What’s not to like?
