NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
"The Coen makes a home run... and then some."

Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen
Starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin

I finally managed to grab the chance to see No Country for Old Men, and I have to say I'm slightly disappointed.
Alright, it might be a pessimistic way to start off this review, but I am by no means saying this is a bad film. On the contrary it's a brilliant film. Relate it to me expecting a 10/10 and getting instead a solid 9. This movie however has more soul and human emotion than any other film out there.
This movie won this year's BEST PICTURE category, and although I must now say I'm still leaning more towards THERE WILL BE BLOOD, it's pretty obvious what about this movie caught everyone off guard.
Javier is brilliant, a silent tension cuts the air everytime he is onscreen and he is easily one of the best villains ever in recent movie history.
The cast is great, and the Coen does their thing, and they do so brilliantly. The movie is fast paced but lets out a sorrowful note the entire time. It's bold in showing the evils and tragedies that befall the land, and it does so in a gloriously manner. It's a short review because there is little else to say about this film, reall there isn't, not to mention I'm in a bit of a hurry right now. Soooo...

9/10


PREVIEWS WALL-E

They did it with toys, they did with bugs. They did it with scary monsters, underwater fish, spandex clad superheroes, shiny race cars and even artistic rodents. And in each outing it seems that Pixar is incapable of making a bad movie. Hell, they're incapable of making a mediocre one. All their films are topnotched and they're about to add another one into their list, WALL-E. If you want a genuine movie experience, this is the film to see. I cannot express how much this movie is going to rock, big time. GO! SEE IT!!!



SPEED RACER

The Wachowski Brothers doing Speed Racer? That old catchy cartoon, go go go, is coming to the big screen and its in the hands of the men behind The Matrix Trilogy. What we have so far is an adrenaline-induce film fest, with dazzling Schmuacher-eske colors without the Batman nipples. Although the trailer so far has been too cocaine-induced to be to my taste, I am putting my faith into the brothers and hope they do pull this one off.



IRON MAN

When I first heard Iron Man was going to be made, it was Tom Cruise's name that was thrown into the mix. Needless to say I was ready to chuck dynamites into people's mouth. But then Robert Downey Jr. took over and I took a dose of morphine. Now with a stellar cast such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard and even a cameo by Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury himself, this movie is shaping up to be a fanboy's wet dream.
