The Plot… (beware of spoilers)
L.A. Detective Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch is 47 years old with twenty years on the force. Before becoming a cop, Bosch served in the Gulf War in the Special Forces.
It’s not been a great year for Bosch. Although cleared of criminal charges in a shooting, he now faces a civil trial. Bosch claims the suspect was pulling a gun when Bosch killed him. The prosecution claims the suspect was unarmed. The gun planted. The civil trial has created a lot of bad publicity and renewed interest in Detective Bosch by Internal Affairs.
Still dealing with the trail, Bosch responds to a call. A child’s bones are found in a shallow grave in a wooded area near a nice neighborhood. In short order Bosch discovers leads that implicate several people… including the boy’s father.
The case takes a surprising turn when a routine traffic stop turns out to be anything but. Raynard Waits is driving a van containing a corpse. The dead man was tortured before he was killed. The evidence against Waits is overwhelming. He is a sadistic sociopath. There will be no deals, no plea bargain.
Then everything changes.
Waits claims that he also killed the little boy whose bones were recently discovered. Waits says he’s a serial killer of children. He’ll clear cases and give parents of many missing children peace of mind… but he wants something in return.
Bosch interviews Waits and has several takeaways. One: Waits is lying. Two: Waits is smart. Three: Waits is much more clever than he appears.
So when Waits says he will take the police to where he buried the bodies, Bosch is against it. District Attorny O’Shea (who is up for re-election) approves the field trip. Waits demands that Bosch be one of the officers in the group. Again O’Shea approves.
Bosch was right. Waits had a plan. It results in the murder of the Assistant DA and gravely wounds another officer. DA O’Shea shifts the blame for the murder and Wait’s escape to Bosch.
As Bosch’s civil trial moves forward, Waits killing spree continues. As the bodies pile up, Waits publically taunts Bosch.
Did Waits really kill the child? If not, who did? If Waits is a serial killer of children why was he found with an adult victim? Waits is using secrets from Bosch’s past to get under his skin. How does he know these things?
Bosch needs the answers or more innocent people will die.
Thoughts…
Bosch is excellent in all aspects – writing, directing and acting.
Harry Bosch is a well rounded character brought to life by Titus Welliver who is excellent in the role. Kudos also to Jason Gedrick who plays Raynard Waits. Gedrick is perfect. Other acting standouts include Jamie Hector, Amy Aquino, Lance Reddick, Annie Wersching, Troy Evans, Sarah Clarke and Scott Wilson.
Bosch: Season 1 (2015) rates 5 of 5 stars.

The Plot…
Slim Hoover is the Sheriff of the frontier town Lonesome Pine. Although adept with a gun, Slim often uses his quick wit to get the drop on the bad hombres.
Dick Lane is almost ready to head back to Lonesome Pine after success prospecting alone in the desert. Once home Dick plans to marry Echo Allen. Unfortunately, that is not to be. Mexican bandits led by the “half-breed” Buck McKee shoot, rob and leave Dick for dead.
When Dick doesn’t return, Jack Payson tells Echo he will ride out and find him. As Jack is about to go Buck McKee rides up. Buck says he was prospecting with Dick when they were attacked by Mexican bandits. He says that he and Dick put up a fight, but there were too many. Dick was shot. Before he died, Dick asked Buck to escape and bring word to Echo.
What Buck doesn’t know is that although Dick was near death, Mexican Federales saved him. It will take years for Dick to recover enough to return home. Meanwhile Jack and Echo fall in love. After three years pass, Echo agrees to marry Jack.
On the night Echo and Jack are to be wed, Dick returns. It turns out the bandits didn’t get all of Dick’s gold. Dick has enough cash to pay Jack the $3,000.00 he owes him. Jack and Dick meet. Jack accepts the $3,000.00. Dick learns that Echo and Jack are about to be wed. Since no one else has seen him, Dick leaves.
Meanwhile, Buck McKee decides the wedding will provide cover to rob the express agent’s office which is full of cash. The robbery goes sideways when Buck kills the express agent. Buck takes the money. He then heads to the wedding so he will have an alibi.
The robbery and murder are discovered. The wedding guests are shocked. Buck falls under suspicion. But Buck has seen the large amount of cash Jack has hidden. Buck tells everyone about it. Suddenly Jack becomes the number one suspect. Jack can’t explain the cash without admitting that Dick is still alive. That could cost him Echo.
Buck incites the crowd to get justice NOW. The mob gets worked up for a necktie party.
It will be up to Sheriff Slim to save Jack and see justice is served.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
The Round Up was Fatty Arbuckle’s first feature film. Arbuckle had made over 120 comedy shorts prior to this film.
The Round Up was first a successful Broadway play that starred Fatty’s cousin Macklin Arbuckle. Tom Forman adapted the play and co-starred as Jack. Because Fatty’s next comedy wasn’t ready, he was tapped to play Sheriff Slim. The role earned him some of the best reviews of his career.
The Round Up was the first film to be shot in Lonesome Pine, California. Over 300 more westerns would use the location.
Buster Keaton appears (uncredited) in two scenes as one of the attacking Indians.
The Round Up (1920) rates 4 of 5 stars.

“Mayday” starring Ryan Reynolds & Kenneth Branagh – The Poster and Trailer are Here!
When I saw the poster for Mayday, I had negative feelings. I’m not a big Ryan Reynolds fan. I initially thought he and Kenneth Branagh were making snow angels. Ah, another dumb buddy comedy.
I think I was wrong.
Yeah, Mayday is a comedy… but it is an action comedy. The trailer makes it look like the right mix of action and comedy. Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh (who I didn’t recognize) look to have good chemistry. And Branagh makes for a tough guy! (Who’d have thought that?) Oh, and in the poster, they’re not making snow angels, they are sliding down a mountain!
Deal me in!
Kenneth Branagh’s steely eyes alone could’ve ended the Cold War.
