Probably not, if for genre alone. It's a little long, and let's be honest, the plot is thin (although there's obviously some symbolism at play).But, it's well-acted, slickly directed, has some good music and dance, and has that period throwback appeal. And, as far as the genre, it's most intelligent than most. It's a very good watch, even if it could be cut down by 20 minutes.It was all over the place. I liked the parts I liked and saw where they were going with it. I liked the music, the acting and the back story, but main action just seemed completely disconnected. Maybe that was the point? Yeah, I read a review that said that it's like two different movies that didn't completely merge. The review said that's a current trend in horror movies, although I don't have enough of a frame of reference. I think I envisioned it as a Mississippi Delta gangster movie, with the antagonists likely to be the Klan. And then, instead of the Klan, they symbolically turned the antagonists into monsters / vampires. But, whether symbolic or realistic, the problem was probably resolved too tidily. That was one of the cooler renditions of Rocky Road to Dublin I've seen.

just watched Happy Gilmore 2. it was better than expected but I expected it to be pretty bad. not the worst way to kill a couple of hours. liked a lot of the nods to the original movie.
Saw The Hitmans Bodyguard with Ryan Reynolds?s and Samuel Jackson and was very entertained. I didn?t know this movie was made and it?s basically Reynolds?s and Jackson doing their usual roles but the action was good and usual funny scenes. Good movie to be entertained.
I just saw Nobody, which is not new. But it was a decent movie and written by the guy who does John Wick. Slow start but once it picked up it was very good. Free on prime.
