WWE's Most Wanted Treasures: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (2023)
Stone cold's attic is a must see
Getting a peak behind the nostalgic curtain of the WWE is fascinating. In this season Booker T, Mick Foley, and Lita team up to find the precious relics of legends that have danced in the squared circle.
Kicking things off with the rattlesnake is a great way to get the ball rolling in season 2.
However, the show rides too much on the nostalgia wave with archival footage then spending time with the characters in modern day. I think I saw the cement truck and corvette scene 10 times throughout this episode.
Finally, when the exhibit for the SCSA treasures is showcased, it barely gets screentime.
Last Flag Flying (2017)
Solid Acting -- Longevity is where film falters
Three dynamic characters come together to bury the son of Doc Shephard (Carell). Each representing a facet of war. Sal (Cranston), representing how he is still very much a soldier in the war. Shephard, defining the loss that war brings, and Rev. Mueller (Fishburne), characterizing the length a man will go to in order to conceal his past life of a soldier. From the time these three characters meet for the first time in decades and the time they spend with one another represent the power of camaraderie and offer some funny scenarios. For instance, Sal and Mueller renting a u-haul, all three at a phone store etc.
However, the length of the movie wherein lies the falter. I found myself struggling through some dim scenes to make it to the end. An hour and a half through felt like two hours and so on. It requires a significant amount of patience. In the end, not only did I deem most of it forgetful, but was finding moments left and right that could have been pulled from the final project to make it shorter.
It takes the three a lifetime to make it to Dover, New Hampshire for the funeral as much as it takes the viewer to finish a film that could have already ended with getting its point across.
