Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Fences (2016)

Ugh. Depressing and boring as hell with one of the most ridiculous “mentally challenged” portrayals I’ve seen since Bubba in Forrest Gump -- not sure this is the typecasting Mykelti should be going for.

There was absolutely nothing redeeming about Denzel’s character but no one on screen seemed willing to fully admit that and cut ties with him. Though his son recognized the poison, his family insisted on him only celebrating what they labeled as "good."

Nonsense.
