Sarah (7800 KP) rated The Highwaymen (2019) in Movies

Far too dull
The curse of the Netflix original film strikes again. I've yet to see one that surpasses anything other than average, and I'm afraid The Highwaymen is no exception.
This has a great cast and who doesn't love Woody Harrelson? I'm on the fence about Kevin Costner though, I struggled to understand what he was even saying in some scenes. The costumes and sets etc are well done, but the problem with this film is that it is so damn dull. You would've thought a story about the capture of Bonnie and Clyde would be interesting, but this film really doesn't show it. The characters spend most of the film driving around in a car talking, and it is just so boring. It's a shame as it could've been interesting, but instead its 2 hours that dragged so much.

I really enjoy the way they talk about games.
This podcast isn't epic, but it does feel like friends you would have talking about games, they have foibles and aren't always polished but that adds to the genuineness of it. They obviously love to play games and all different kinds. They tend to focus on family and midweight games, but sometimes dabble in the heavy as well and obscure trivia. They added a new member when Whoop Whoop team droop left. Too early to judge how he fits in with the crowd, but he's been a friend for years so probably gonna be just fine. Give it a listen and once you get past the opening trivia, the game conversation usually starts. Usually.
This is one of the top 5 podcasts about board games out there.

Ranger Rick's Travels: National Parks! by Stacy Tornio is a book that is colorful which will help children appreciate the beauty and diversity of the United States. The book is categorized within the different regions of the country and then showcases National Parks within that area. Every National Park is mentioned. The pictures and facts about the parks are a great way to teach children about America. The book catches the attention of children and adults. I would love to include this book in my classroom for when teaching American History. For example, if I am talking about California I could show the students a park from that region or if we are discussing about New England I could do the same. This book is a great resource whether teaching 1st grade or 8th grade.

Welcome to unicorn mountain
Contains spoilers, click to show
The fast talking Merc is back and for once bigger is better. It is rare to find a sequel that is better thanks first but in my opinion this is one.
I first saw this film at the UK fan screening and was fortune enough to see the cast Ryan introduced the film as a "Family film welcome to unicorn mountain." The promotion for the lead up to this film was quiet family genius.
Deadpool breaks the 3rd wall and just makes you smile. I have had "have you ever noticed that papa can you here me sounds exactly like do you want to build a snowman." In my head for weeks.
Cable is a fantastic charcter mainly because although techniqually the villain he only doing what he think is right to save hundreds.

Ledger who ?
Ledger who ? Might be a bit strong but after watching Pheonix play out this role it is nice to see that this role can be played and leave us at a point where we can appreciate how good the acting was by both men.
The story is extremely well scripted and played out. Watching somebody struggle with their own mental health, you can see that isn't that far fetched a story as you feel for the character and the demons he faces.
The cast around Phoenix are excellent and understated enough to showcase the performance by Phoenix.
I came out of this movie instantly wanting to watch it again and left me and my buddies still talking about it days later. It has been a long long time since a film had that effect on me. !

Oldie but goodie
Brilliant film! Good story, makes the veiwer question the main woman's sanity.
Gripping thriller about a mother who's struggling to move on from her son passing away in a plane crash, but did he ever exist?? She's seeing phycological therapists, her husband is trying to help her, all she talks about is her little boy Sam, but no one else knows what she's talking about with there being no pictures, he's room is empty and the video tapes blank, she feels like she is going mad and everyone is erasing Sam from there life's but it's not all that simple she isn't mad her bond as a mother is so strong she can't help but remember her little boy. The truth might not be for everyone but I think it's a good film definitely worth the watch!
