No Country For Old Men....
The race for this year's Oscar officially starts with this Coen brothers adaptation of punctuation-hating novelist Cormac McCarthy's (All the Pretty Horses) True Romance-ish tale of an average Llewelyn (Josh Brolin) who randomly happens upon a gristly scene that appears to be a major drug deal gone wrong in a dusty, barren area of 1980 Texas. Walking away almost completely unphased with a suitcase full of cash, Llewelyn realizes (after going back to gank the heroin), he's probably going to be pursued by both sides of the failed exchange. What he doesn't expect is that the pursuit might be led by the devil in a Dutch-Boy haircut (a brilliantly diabolical Javier Bardem) while the self-doubting local sheriff (Tommy Lee Jones) really feels as if me might actually be getting too old for this shit. The cat-and-mouse game which follows is absolutely brilliant, peppered with equal doses of jet black humor and gruesome, unapologetic Cronenberg-style violence. It's the Coen's masterpiece, and it has cutie Kelly Macdonald ditching her Scottish brogue for a West Texas lilt that made me weak in the knees. Okay, maybe it was the blood.
ok something not so intensely gnarly... cus really that was one of the gnarliest movies iv seen in a long time.
here is my life this weekend as seen through my cell phone. can u believe i took that many on my cell. i cant.
