Reviewing Movies

Still a guilty pleasure. Raylan Givens remains a loose cannon, still a
charming rogue. The body count actually rises this season as various
clans fight over past grievances and control of turf and criminal
activities. Never in doubt is the quality of the acting, the good
humour, or the civility even in the face of the most dire veiled threats
until the lead starts flying. By the end of the season any of the bad
guys who haven't been killed off one way or another are in prison
leaving one to wonder just who the writers came up with for Raylan to
chase in season 3 already on DVD and Season 4 now running. The way this
season ends it looks as if the producers didn't count on the series
being renewed.

The only thing stronger than clan loyalties is that to the land and the
hillbilly lifestyle. It may be a hard life and a demanding one but it's
the only one these people understand. Making moonshine and growing weed
are a sacred right. Bring out the fiddles and the banjos and add some
food and you have yourself a party. The church may lurk in the
background as insurance against the hereafter so long as it doesn't get
in the way of the present.
