About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

Movie Friday: Seven Psychopaths

Seven Psychopaths looks interesting, in a perhaps overly cute and self-conscious Tarantino fashion.  The director, Martin McDonagh, previously did In Bruges, an interesting piece starring Brendan Gleason and Colin Farrell as hitmen on the run after a botched job.  This one has Farrell in it again, but also Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken and Tom Waits.  Oh, and Woody Harrelson as a violent gangster trying to recover his dognapped Shih Tzu.

The overall Rotten Tomatoes score is 84%, though somewhat lower for the top critics.  However, if the world's most reliable reverse barometer Rex Reed doesn't like it, that's good enough for me:  it's gotta be good.

Here's the trailer:
