No Country for Old Men

Review:

Misguided souls will tell you that No Country for Old Men
is out for blood, focused on vengeance and unconcerned with the
larger world outside a standard-issue suspense plot. Those people,
of course, are deaf, dumb and blind to anything that isn't spelled
out between commercials on dying TV networks. Joel and Ethan Coen's
adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's 2005 novel is an indisputably great
movie, at this point the year's very best. Set in 1980 in West
Texas, where the chase is on Read More

I’m Not There

I'm Not There and dares us not to revel in the
troubadour's poetic, contentious, ever-changing essence. It's a

Review:

I expected the film version of the epically tedious Old English
poem to be a craptacular. Director Robert Zemeckis used the same
motion-capture process in 2004's The Polar Express and
turned live actors into digital humans who looked invaded by body
snatchers. Boy, have things changed. The eighth-century Beowulf,
goosed into twenty-first-century life by a screenplay from sci-fi
guru Neil Gaiman and Pulp Fiction's Roger Avary, will have
you jumping out of your skin and begging for more. Be sure to see
it in 3-D. I Read More
