Flicking through Netflix and The Harder They Fall came up. I'd heard of this and decided to take a look. If you want to watch a "modern" western there are much, much better ones than this over-long piece of nonesense. I recommend Slow West and Dead Man.

Slow West, well worth your time. The Harder They Fall, not so.
And now for the horror, or whatever it is supposed to be, Midsommar. One critic thought it was a comedy. If it is it isn't funny. Is it scary? No. However, if there are prizes for weird movie then, maybe. If it was music Stuart Maconie would play it. It is kind of mesmerising, like one of those drone pieces that go on forever. But it isn't about anything, there really is no point to this film, other than, I suppose, that the hopeless, birthday-forgetting boyfriend gets his comeuppance.

I've not seen The Parasite, I might give that a watch later.
