Checked out The Dead Don't Hurt last night.


It's a slower burn movie, but I found it effective in its storytelling.


The movie was filmed between October - December 2022 in Ontario & B.C., Canada, as well as Durango, Mexico ... so visually it was great to look at with plenty of outdoor shots and natural lighting. I liked seeing the remote nature of the home & how the exterior vegetation was built up over time. The kid was believable in that he wasn't overbearing or precocious. He was often quietly observing the goings on around him. The relationship at the core of the movie felt genuine. The villain was effective in being a piece of shit, etc.












The Dead Don't Hurt is a 2023 Western film written, directed, and produced by Viggo Mortensen, and starring Mortensen, Vicky Krieps, Solly McLeod, Garret Dillahunt, Colin Morgan, Ray McKinnon, Luke Reilly, Atlas Green, and Danny Huston. Mortensen also composed the score to the film.

The Dead Don't Hurt premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2023.


On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 83% of 101 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.2/10. The website's consensus reads: "A solid step forward for Viggo Mortensen as a director, The Dead Don't Hurt offers viewers a comfortably old-fashioned Western with a satisfying, character-driven story."[15] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 70 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[16]

Peter Debruge of Variety wrote, "How many partners have attached themselves to someone else's dream, then had to adapt when it proves disappointing? Films rarely frame that experience from the woman's perspective, which makes Mortensen's enlightened approach fairly refreshing, even if Vivienne's independence manifests itself in a way that anyone can sense is bad news".[17]

Checked this movie out on Monday night. Thought it was pretty good. Felt gritty and real given the scenarios and intensity of the job.


What worked really well in the movie's favor is that the co-leads' chemistry didn't feel forced. Plus the individuals playing patients / civilians felt authentic. Felt like real people in medical emergencies.

They're doing what CW, Fox, and countless other media organizations have done to build up their networks.

No one said different.

My point was they are improving their public image from punchline to respected brand in what seems to be almost overnight.

When they appeared at one point to be fine with perception of being a low rent brand.

Deadpool & Wolverine




Madcap Marvel

NO SPOILERS SPOILER FREE

PRAISE: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman return to the roles they were born to play in this movie about the the Time Variance Authority (TVA) enlisting Deadpool to save the multiverse but he can't do it without Wolverine. I began to laugh during the movies first ten minutes and immediately knew I was going to have a good time. The movie is not only a tribute to everything Deadpool and Wolverine but also to Reynolds and Jackman. When I watched the first Spiderverse movie I said even if people are casual fans of Spider-Man they will find something to love about it the same can be said of this movie and it's two main characters. There were definitely situations and team ups I thought I would never see in a Marvel movie. It was fun watching characters be able to completely let loose in fight scenes on an R rated level. The film even manages to squeeze in some things about the current climate of world affairs. The jokes and nods to different genres of films and pop culture are almost as fast and fun as the action sequences. There is big time fan service but I really felt like it was earned,and i think the movie really didn't go overboard with it. The fourth wall was broken, smashed to bits until it was splinters of glass and I liked it.
The dramatic moments hit just the way they were supposed to I don't think they felt forced at all. I thought the villain
Emma Corrin’s Cassandra was just OK. So on the edge of being more memorable.


PROBLEMS: There are some moments that I felt were just to repetitive. I thought some lines of dialogue were kind of corny along with very weak delivery from a couple of actors. I thought more was going to be done with a couple of characters but they were just wallpaper.

Scale of 1 to 10 an 8
