Movie #1647 "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" --- ick! Did not like this at all. It was recommended to me, but it just isn't my kind of movie. It is getting good reviews on rotten tomatoes, although audience gives it 20 percentage points lower than the critics. So the critics see more than John Q. Public. Perhaps they are bigger Coen brother fans? Maybe, but I like 80% of their work --- but I did HATE "Barton Fink," and I found "Hail, Caesar" terribly unfunny. and I HATE HATE HATE "no country for old men (don't get me started on that one!) But most everything they do is usually worthy of seeing, to me ---- but I wouldn't waste time on this one, unless you really like westerns, which I do not. They usually have way too much testosterone for me, and way too much violence, esp. in the hands of the Coen brothers. This movie is divided into 6 segments, and out of the 6 , I only liked one of them and guess what? it was the one a woman was in --- Zoe Kazan --- she emotionally drew me in to her segment, the rest was just a wash --- one scene blended into another with violence and bad singing and with stories that went nowhere to me. Sorry, I give this a 2 out of 5. Bring on "Fargo," "Miller's Crossing," "The Big Lebowski," " O Brother, Where Art Thou?" "Raising Arizona," "Blood Simple," "A Serious Man," "Bridge of Spies," (writers), and "Inside Llewelyn Davis!"
