#196 Dust Up (C+)

'bout time I get back into posting some of those there blog jobs...

18 mins and change and I hear the classic movie red tail hawk screech.  I'd venture to bet that this is the most popular movie bird sound as mentioned in a ton of my reviews.  Here is a clip from youtube (c) with a red tail hollering.  Fast forward 2 minutes into the plot and wham - one of the worst movie fight scenes ever.  But, not bad like the goodness that ensued during They Live (They Live review).  More like: stab miss right, stab miss left, repeat for 25 seconds.  No one misses that badly.

Ugh, once again I am barely talking about the movie.  I need to try harder.  I can say, that the acting in Dust Up reminds me of Rubber or Slacker.  Not much inflection with the delivery of the lines, said by low cost actors who state their lines in stride yet in a lazy, only semi-good acting manner.  At the end of the movie the last words by the lead character could not be understood.  In fact, I rewound 3 times and still am not sure what he said.  Midway, I need to rewind to understand something Mo said.  Just bad on the director's part.  Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter, but it doesn't help the movie to be good in my book.  Speaking of Mo, how can he not have a picture on his IMDB (c) profile?  Looks like he's been in a few movies thus far and in this 'classic' he's one of the main characters.

A-hahaha, "Keith is in the house, Keith is inside the house..."  That is Keith up there in the picture.  I'd say, that right about when Keith takes over for Buzz and mutters the words, "Keith is in the house" - that's just about when the movie starts on an interesting turn.  Making watching it worth while.  As in, I actually started to have a good time viewing.  At 50 minutes in, an unexpected best killing ever arose out of nowhere.  I will quickly describe the scene to you.  A guy (Buzz) just jerked off on another guy (the Sheriff) while choking him to death with his elbow.  That has to be a cinema first.  A jerk off choke out.  Boom.  What?  Crazy scene man.

Amazon Prime (c) members rate this movie a 4.0/5 (only 23 ratings though).  5.0/10 is the score on IMDB (c), a 63% by viewers on Rotten Tomatoes (c) but no critic reviews, and basically nothing on Metacritic.com (c).  Well there are two reviews by critics (gave it a 50 and 40) but you need at least 4 to get a grade on Metacritic.  I say this movie makes the list, and is worth watching, but earned it's C+.  There are enough good scenes in here to make it worth your while Mike.
