Detailed Exposition
30 May 2020
Eye opening - and frightening - expose on manipulating elections through the use of such tools as big data, voter personality profiles, fake news stories, and targeted advertising on social media. In this instance, on how Robert Mercer used the likes of Steve Bannon and Cambridge Analytica to get Donald Trump elected in 2016. Apart from whom they backed, and how much they actually affected the election, the fact that anyone is using - and is able to use - these methods against us is truly horrifying. In my opinion, this is a good watch for anyone.

Doc West (2009 TV Movie)

Corny Italian Made-for-TV Western
20 December 2015
Very, very corny. The plot, dialogue - and even the music - is trite and juvenile. It is hard to watch adults act and speak like 10 year-olds -- although 10 year-olds may have been the intended audience. Much of the acting is barely acting. It's as if Buster Keaton directed a western, tongue-in-cheek. If this were a TBS western, it would be a 'B' TBS western. And then there are the slapstick and spaghetti western moments.... After looking it up and finding out that it is indeed an Italian made-for-TV western - well, that explained a lot. The production values are high though, no suffering there. I watched it, mostly. I had Triggerman - a sequel - queued up to watch after this one. I didn't bother.

B-Movie, and Not a Great One at That
20 December 2015
Where do older actors go to retire? I don't know - but they're in movies like this one just prior. Stars Trejo, Lundgren, and Pare - older action stars. Also stars several B-listers as well: Messner, Fox, and Malthe, among them. The plot's been done many a time, drug deal gone bad and the money's in the back of the vehicle to be found, and pursued. This could have been a good movie, but wasn't. The production values are pretty good. The acting isn't. You'd be better off watching something else. I rented this one for $4, and wished I hadn't. I didn't find this one to have been worth watching, wouldn't have paid a dollar to watch it had I known better.
