I gave Scotland, PA
three stars on Netflix, but I gave it three-and-a-half on Flixster. The trouble with the Netflix rating system is that you can’t give a movie half a star. Like many, this film for me was more than “Liked It” but less than “Really Liked It.” What I hate is when they tell you they think you’ll rate something three-and-a-half stars but then they only let you rate it three or four. What’s that about?
Anyway, this was a fun spoof of MacBeth set in a 70s fast food joint in Pennsylvania. Murder, mayhem, drive-through service, what’s not to like? And of course, there’s Christopher Walken which makes it a must see.
Did you know that Christopher Walken has averaged 3.8 movies per year since 1990? That’s more than three and almost, but not quite, four. And during that time, he’s been on seven episodes of Saturday Night Live, and seven episodes of Conan since 2000. I think he’s more of a workaholic than I am, and I need a vacation just thinking about it.
