There is a kernel of a good film in here but this isn't it...and it doesn't need nearly two hours to tell it, honestly a tight 80 minutes ... |

| I rented Roadhouse (the original) from Selecta Video (which closed a couple of years after Blockbusters opened up around the corner) in the early 90s. I don't think I've watched it again since then, and I can't really remember much about what happened in it, I had heard bad things about the remake, ... |

This will probably be the end of prime in this house too. I already stopped using Amazon music, and I despise the ongoing UX horror show in video. Next day delivery with zero effort will be a difficult habit to break though.
Disney hasn't shown us anything new for ages either. |
