Film review

[guest7]

I know I'm a bit behind the general populace, but last night I watched 'No Country for Old Men'. I've always been a Coen brothers fan and I thought this was one of their best films for ages.

The lunatic hitman is one of cinema's great bad guys imho. I also think Tommy Lee Jones does a superb job playing the sheriff.

What did you guys think of it, did it deserve its oscar?

i thought it went well until the last 20 minutes when it seemed to go a bit 'wonky'.

nice to see a decent film that isn't full of overblown stunts and CGI. has anyone even tried to watch the 'new' italian job? absolute tripe!

Made me jump when the car hit him at the end of the film.

Yeah, made me jump too 

There are odd bits of the film that stick out, like when Woody Harrelson's character is sat in the chair knowing he's lost the game. That bit of acting is very low key, but bloody brilliant.

I put it in the Coen brother's top three along with Fargo and The Big Lebowski. O Brother is great too. Talented sods

I love the attention to detail...it's what makes you want to watch again and again....always fresh little bits you misssed....a case in point is the wallace and grommet (a must for you sidecar fans! lol)
watched the christmas day ones, curse of the were-rabbit....seen it before, but just picked up a clip where wallace is in a factory and his pants have just been blown off grommit gives him a cardboard box to stand in to preserve his modesty, on the outside of the box adjacent with wallaces waist is, in big letters CHEESE, then across it in smaller lettering...contains nuts
later, in matter of loaf and death, towards the end, they are travelling in the A30 breadvan and wallace says 'lets have some music' the female dog pulls out a box of lp's and starts to rifle through them....the ones i saw were 'poochini' and 'hound of music'  only fleeting glimpses, which, in Parks animation tecniques must have taken hours if not days to get right.....there were quite a few record labels I didn't catch....but thats the glory of Parks animation and imagination....will be watching that a few more times yet.
Hope you all had a great Christmas
