NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN WAS SO PERFECT
BEST MOVIE OF 07

Their best movie yet.

[Jenny]

aghhhh it was soooo gooooooddd
the narration in the beginning, the roundness of the characters, the lack of music, the SOUNDS, the COLORS, the BEAUTY, the location!!! So subtle and minimal, yet so incredible.  Everyone was cast so perfect (though I didn't like Clara Jean very much...) Chigurh was so frightening... from the first scene to the last. solid end and beginning. word.

man oh man. i must see that again.
the more i think about it the better it gets.

The Lives of Others - German film and winner of last year's Oscar for best foreign film. It deserved to beat-out Pan's Labyrinth for that prize. The film is set in 1984 East Germany and involves the police wire-tapping a playwright. Fascinating, sad, scary and still uplifting.

A clip featuring David Cross as Allen Ginsberg and Cate Blanchett as Bob Dylan from I'M NOT THERE hits!!

thanks for that!  i can't wait for this movie.  david cross and cate blanchett are a little unsettlin in their roles, but it may be different in the context of the film.  I thought the dialouge was fantastic though.

Did you read the review? It has numerous people playing dylan

i don't like to read movie reviews, but i heard there were multiple actors playing dylan. sounds like an interesting concept.  the director / writer seems pretty good and it's named after a rare, but very good dylan tune (i'm not there is an outtake from the mostly lost basement tape years)  that's worth the price of admission right there.  

someone said jim and the boys are doing Goin to Acapulco on the soundtrack.  I would LOVE to hear that.  I would also LOVE to hear him do a cover i'm not there, too.  i told him he's about two more dylan tunes away from having an album of dylan covers.  maybe he should do a double album.  Jim Covers George Harrison and Bob Dylan. ;D

Its actually Jim James & Calexico.  I just found the song, and no suprise here...it's fantastic!!  8-)

yeah that's an old post, back when it hadn't been released. I've seen it now, but I seem to be one of the only ones around here who has.  What did you think of the movie?

Anyone going to see Cloverfield next weekend? Some good reviews are coming in. No release date here in Japan.
No release date for There Will Be Blood either & we don't get No Country until March  :(

Do you think it's worth buying? It's on DVD here but the subtitles are in Japanese. This has been on my to-see list since it got the oscar but I'm trying to cut back on the DVDs that I buy...

It depends. Do you watch generally watch good movies more than once? Does renting a movie in Japan cost somewhere in the ballpark of the cost of buying one? If the latter is true, then buy them both. Personally, The Lives of Others is a better film, but I can see me watching Pan's more times than the great German film. Fantasy and war flicks are easy to watch over and over, and Pan's falls into both of those categories.

[dragonboy]

I've got Pans Labyrinth on DVD.
Sorry for the confusion, I was talking about Life Of Others only. It's on DVD here but I can't rent it because the subtitles will be in Japanese. I want to see it but can't imagine it being the sort of film you'd watch again & again. I guess I'll just have to wait a while & hope it goes down in price, then I won't feel too bad about buying it even if I only watch it once.

[dragonboy]

Have you seen 3:10 To Yuma yet J? I'm thinking about buying that too.

'Before the Devil Knows You're Dead'

Excellent film, well worth checking out - Phillip Seymour Hoffaman and Ethan Hawke are awesome. Best film i've seen in some time.

Phillip Seymour had a good year what with this one, Charlie Wilson & The Savages.

Superbad - most apt movie title ever? Super-hyped, super-not-funny & super-bad. I can't believe I bought this piece of crap. This movie might have been hilarious if I was 15 but I don't think I laughed once & nearly switched it off.

No Country for Old Men

Yeah, WOW.  Not a single flaw, Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem were incredible.  

[dragonboy]

Golden Globes soon, Atonement, No Country & There Will Be Blood look set to do well...
