Quote from: Rev. Powell on February 04, 2025, 04:19:29 PMTrying not to give spoilers, I thought it was fairly obvious that the person who would be elected Pope eventually was, and the suspense was in how he would get there. I suppose you are referring to the final twist, which was sort of meaningless, ultimately, but still thought-provoking. A very good movie overall.

Exactly. I liked it, but I can understand people who say it is just one twist too many.

IRON RIDGE (2008)

Ok. This movie is bad. And I don't mean in a good way.

A confused 30 something, going threw early male menopause or some such trauma, goes on a hunting trip with his beer soaked buddy up in the middle of Buttf**k, Nowhere and gets lost. So the pinhead wanders around in the snow for the rest of the movie, tracked by a guy with a heart condition who acts like he's in a school play.
So the very end the guy gets jumped by a grizzly bear (not shown) and somehow he just walks away. That's not explained either.
As a finale, the old tracker drops dead of  heart attack.
"He died doing what he loved."
The End. Thank God.

The bear (who is billed as 'Brutus') is plastered all over the poster and ads has a screen time of all of maybe 2 minutes.

I looked it up on IMDB to insert a quote- but there are none. It's about as exciting as a loooong TV commercial about life insurance without even Henry Winkler. (Who's a Titan of Cinema compared to the cast of this.)
Seems it could have premiered on the DOVE channel, except it didn't have enough of that edge- of-your- seat drama.
