I meant to reccommend


No Country For Old Men the latest offering from the estimable Cohen Bros.

I went and saw this film two weekends ago and I am still feeling the creepy-crawlies about it. This is the first time I can recall having literally squirmed out of my seat with the intensity created on screen.

The subtle psychological violence was far more powerful than a typically overblown graphic thriller-gore. The stoicism of the inexorable antagonist more distressing for the veracity of his detachment. The eerie lack of a score far more immediate than any orchestrated tell.

I cannot recommend this film in terms strong enough. So, go see it man.
