Did you see this movie, No Country for Old Men

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

I watched 'The Departed' again the other day.

Now THAT is a solid movie.

I went on a movie jag in SD I saw Doubt and Milk both are very good movies Shan Penn is a masterful actor

Those aren't even their best. No Country and Blood Simple are top-notch.

3) The Visitor...came out earlier this year, real good.

agreed ! having family in Mumbai, ( the city where the movie takes place) it was great to see a heartfelt script depicting the extreme poverty of that city.

Being a great story, it also sends an important message to those who are more privileged in raising awareness of some of the conditions there.

No Country was one of the best films ever made. Hopefully The Road will be as good. The Road is one of the most powerful cautionary tales ever told. Cormac's best book, hands down.

Sadly..Mumbai took a big hit recently. Can these films be rented at a local movie place? They are not freely available at most theaters unfortunately.

Doubt was an odd little movie but I did like that we the audience really never knows for sure. Clever really!

NCFOM was a completely pointless turd! After I finished watching it my first impression was "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"

Total garbage. As I said, watch the far superior "There Will Be Blood" for a thoughtful and dramatic film with brilliant lead performances.

I loved There Will Be Blood, as well.

But you should go back and rethink No Country. I was in a theater full of people that didn't "get it" when they saw it and heard some of the same grumblings. They figured it was a movie about good and bad guys, a briefcase full of cash a serial killer with a bad haircut. But it's obviously not. Hell, the movie is barely about their characters to begin with. Their actions are more relevant to the story than the actual people themselves.

Are you serious? I read them both, and found No Country to be quite good, but had a hard time getting through The Road.

EDIT: 'hard time getting through' isn't correct. Wanting to finish the book was a problem.

As I have said to TJ many times on this site, we really need a smilie for something going totally over somebody's head.

There Will Be Blood was one of the most dismal, worthless, wastes of time ever put on film. The flattest plot line in film history: Main character starts out as a total a-hole, is a total a-hole through the entire film, and in the end, is the same, total a-hole. Two hours I'll never get back.

I think The Road is one of the most powerful books I've ever read.

Don't waste your time.

[cutler_to_marshall]

no problem. they have a very encompassing library. although i wouldnt expand it to fit on your 24 inch monitor. ( although im very jealous of the possibility of you doing that!) The quality really varies movie to movie. Enjoy !
