Into the Badlands

This TV movie has great actors like Bruce Dern, Mariel Hemingway, Helen Hunt, and Dylan McDermott. It's also a trilogy based on Western horror stories.

However, this movie will leave you with a lot of questions about what really happened, and it's not necessary. Not in the Satoshi Kon sense.

What will get you through this movie is Bruce Dern's haunting narration. There's also some gore. You might also like this movie if you enjoy folk music, or Bon Iver and Joanna Newsom, or that new Taylor Swift song for the The Hunger Games.

Other than that, this Sam Pillsbury-directed TV movie might only be good for when a professor of American history or literature gets a hangover and needs the class to "do something." Or maybe if one were a nerd and bored.
