A Movie for Old Men

What a movie. No country for old men? More like Country for Great Movie! Alright, that made no sense, but just as I thought, I am completely in love with No Country for Old Men. (NCFOM) I've watched it at least 3 times in the last two days, and I feel like I have a solid handle on the movie.

So why, do you ask, am I in love with it? Let's start with something important then, possibly most important, acting. Going into this movie the cast of actors appeared less than impressive. Javier Bardem...who the hell is that? The craziest (note: picture) most insanely awesome killer, maybe ever. Josh Brolin....iight so he had Planet Terror, but still he way surpassed his acting threshold with this one. And since when is Woody Harrelson a good actor...seriously! But it wasn't just the acting that made it, it was the overall tone and atmosphere exuded by the movie. There is NO music through the movie, except minimal beats in the intro and during the credits. This leaves room for intense silence, and one can really focus on how tense the movie actually is. This is all supported by probably some of the best writing of the last twenty years. The plot was thick and rife with sheer awesomeness.

This is seriously one hell of a movie. 4/4 Stars

Stray Thoughts

While procrastinating and trying my hardest not to start my english paper, a few thoughts have come to me. These thoughts are by no means related, and I will no doubt experience them again, so I've decided to make a segment called 'Stray Thoughts'.

We're down to 6 days left on the countdown til' this baby up there ^^
enters my Xbox 360's disc drive. Its all history from there.
I also have heard word of a GTA San Andreas mod, which intrigues me. Multiplayer role playing is the name of the game, and people dedicate hours to a particular aspect of San Andreas. (i.e. Taxi Driver, Ambulance driver, etc.) With the admins acting as police. Sounds like Second Life, except, minus the creepy sex-offenders looking for a "good time". (Don't ever ask me about my experiences with that game)

Something wonderful and something....so-so arrived in the mail today. I'll start with the lameishness first. Ultimate Spider-Man has come (issue #121) today, and I'm not at all excited. It has been SO boring as of late, and has no promise of getting better. Now, onto the good stuff.
No Country For Old Men has been touted as the best movie of '07, and an overall masterpiece. It came to me today, in a little red envelope with some word like....MetLix or something on it. (Maybe it was NetFlix). Anyway, I fully expect to report tomorrow with how in love with the movie I have become.
