Sisters Brothers

Title: The Sisters Brothers

Directed by: A Frenchman

Starring: John C Reilly, Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal, Riz Ahmed

Cuts about 90% of the Picaresque adventures of the brotherly bounty hunters and thus misses the sense of absurdity about the whole thing. It is a dadaish work, standing in opposition to both John Wayne and Unforgiven, declaring that there was no moral order in the West, inverted or otherwise, merely luck and chance, and the only real victims were idealists.

It is significant, I think, that the only character to get a "happy" ending is Eli, the one who had the simplest motives and ambitions.

Spiderman Infinity

Title: Spider-Man Into the Spider-alaxy

Directors: Yes, 3 of them

Starring: Spider-Man, other Spider-Man, older Spider-Man, SpiderMan, Spiderman, Spider-Man But It's a Girl, Anime Spider-Man and Looney Tunes Spider-Man

"Anyone can be Spider-Man" assures this movie in which a group of heroes who have all been granted superhuman powers up to and including invisibility and the force lightning thing from Return of the Jedi after being bitten by radioactive spiders team up to do things which would instantly pulverize, squash, mash, rend, tear, destroy and kill any normal human who attempted them. 

Deliriously fun for the most part, though the "reality" level is all over the place so I was never quite sure if I should be worried for anyone's safety or not, the serious scenes are corny as all hell, and like I say, the actual story itself completely and utterly contradicts the moral it tries to tell.

But man this was good, goofy fun.
