neutral · AI labelView post →Another film I recently discovered that I recommend is "Old Henry". My favorite genre is Sci-Fi, but there's a special place in my heart for westerns because I am ranch raised and there was a lot of "old west" history that happened on our land. That being said, Tim Blake Nelson is a master actor!

neutral · AI labelView post →So I may or may not be fully out of touch; but it seems to me if Paramount CAN'T turn out the presumptive audience to a solid profit for "'TAKEN' but also 'YELLOWSTONE' from the director of 'OLD HENRY'" then that audience might just simply not exist at scale anymore 🤷♂️ youtu.be/nzNYomSd5Ls?...

Chris Columbus, who wrote the original Goonies and went on to helm the first two Home Alone and Harry Potter movies, is producing the film." #movies #80s #news ew.com/the-goonies-...

(Have not read a book in 15+ years) Book: Theo of Golden by Allen Levi Beautiful!! No spoilers - I’ll be reading it again.
positive · AI labelView post →TRIVIA: In an interview with GQ promoting ‘Old Henry’, Tim Blake Nelson said starring in the 2018 Western film ‘The Ballad of Buster Scruggs’ taught him how to handle a gun, "I was working with guns every day for about five months to be able to do the pistol tricks." (Wikipedia) 🖤

positive · AI labelView post →Old Henry is a really good movie
positive · AI labelView post →3 of 4. I LOVE Old Henry. Tim Blake Nelson is sooo good in that movie! First Blood is great...although it's not at all like David Morrell's novel, in which Rambo is not a sympathetic character and Teasle is. The Package was pretty good, as I recall. Haven't seen it in quite a while. No Supergirl.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Old Henry last night to see what all the fuss is about. It was really damned good. Great performance from Tim Blake Nelson and the rest of the cast is good too. If you like Westerns this is a hard one not to like. Small cast, limited number of sets, decent action. A nice, tight film.
positive · AI labelView post →Henry (Old Henry) it's my fav movie ever with Jurassic Park, in fact
positive · AI labelView post →This Potsy Panciroli guy is apparently someone for me to keep a major eye on bc his film OLD HENRY is one of the most surprising & remarkable westerns I’ve seen in years. There’s another film of his now streaming that I’mma need to catch called GREEDY PEOPLE w Joseph Gordon Levitt & Himesh Patel?!
positive · AI labelView post →For those of you still of the Netflix persuasion, they're showing the Tim Blake Nelson movie "Old Henry." IMHO, this is one of the finest Westerns ever made. Bare-bones & bare-knuckle, authentic setting & costumes. Outstanding script, camera & acting. Folks will watch this thing 100 years from now.
positive · AI labelView post →I can't remember who recommended I watch Old Henry. I'm glad they did. If you like westerns go in completely blind. It's a solid movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched Old Henry on Netflix and if you haven't, you should. Brilliant film that could (and this is absolutely meant as a compliment) have been made any time in the last fifty years.
positive · AI labelView post →I think some of these are from the 90s but here's my list. pretty obvious Nolan/tarantino stuff but Old Henry is for sure the best movie you never even heard of

positive · AI labelView post →I was in the mood for a really great western flick today, and boy howdy did Old Henry ever hit the mark for me.
positive · AI labelView post →If when you think of Tim Blake Nelson you first think of Delmar in O Brother Where Art Thou, or of Buster Scruggs, as in The Ballad of... After you watch TBN in Old Henry (2021) I doubt you will be able to think of him as anyone else ever again. Wow. What a movie. #TimBlakeNelson utterly rules.
positive · AI labelView post →I just finished watching the Tim Blake Nelson movie "Old Henry" for the third time. One of the finest Westerns ever produced, it seemed to be a sleeper at first, then it finally caught fire, I'm happy to say. Currently on Netflix.

positive · AI labelView post →#filmsky #films 📽️ Old Henry | 2021 w/ Tim Blake Nelson, Gavin Lewis, Scott Haze, Stephen Dorff all I knew about the film was that there would be a twist. and hell yeah, a twist it was 😯 great western 👌 "You have no idea the hell storm you fixin' to let loose."
positive · AI labelView post →Old Henry was super solid. I didn’t expect this film to evolve the way it did but man-oh-man… that one is getting added to the library for sure.
positive · AI labelView post →On a Richard Speight Jr. kick recently because of #Supernatural. Been in some great little films, even when he doesn't have a leading role. Tonight's slice was #OldHenry, a grimy and honest #Western with a tiny cast that really sells the brooding quickfire violence of the Old West. Very, very good.
positive · AI labelView post →Old Henry the Eight movie on Film4. That's not Cromwell, I said.
neutral · AI labelView post →The action sequences in Borderlands appear to be incomprehensible. By contrast, I feel like I could draw a map of the house from Old Henry (a movie with a much smaller budget) based on what we see during the final shootout. I find this confusing up until I remember that some people just don't care.
positive · AI labelView post →Movie - Old Henry on Netflix a twist on a legend. Black Rabbit on Netflix how far would you go for family?
neutral · AI labelView post →Old Henry was fantastic, amazing ending. Going to Resident Evil today, weather wise it's a great day for that kind of movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I feel like now I need to see the film he directed between the two to see if “Old Henry” was a fluke or not.

He was excellent, but he could not save the writing or cinematography. No matter the "OH WAIT BRO, WHERE YOU BE" chops. #oldhenry #netflix #movies #westerns
negative · AI labelView post →I LOVE Old Henry! Probably the most underrated Western I’ve seen in a while. You’re exactly right, it’s such a neat and tight film.

positive · AI labelView post →"You have no idea the hell storm you fixin' to let loose." from the film Old Henry, 2021. Finally, a decent western. Tim Blake Nelson does a fantastic job portraying the main character (I won't spoil it for others interested in seeing the film) Much underrated film and I don't watch very many.

neutral · AI labelView post →Old Henry is my answer for best recent movie no one else has seen. I loved every minute of it.
positive · AI labelView post →I love Goodfellas, in my opinion it’s close to a perfect movie. BUT The idea that Ray Liotta is supposed to be portraying a 21 YEAR OLD Henry Hill is absolutely laughable.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Potsy Ponciroli's Old Henry. It's a slick little Western with a good performance by Tim Blake Nelson in the lead. It's a bit thin overall and relies on a twist you'll either think is cool or cheap, and that'll define the film for you. I thought it was cheap, personally.
negative · AI labelView post →Two shows on Netflix that you absolutely must stick with to the very end. One of the shows, a movie, is called "Old Henry". I made it up to the ending & then HAD TO watch it again. The other show is a series called "The Diplomat". The end of the 4th season made it all worth it I'm watching it again
