    just watched no country for old men, it was unassumingly unconventional yet (thankfully) never over-the-top. the Coen bros. deserve their Oscars; well done indeed.

    I agree Patrick--I just love the way the steer towards conventional cliche and then pull a great big 180. I've never seen a story told quite this well in a non-traditional fashion.

    I think you made the DVD grade too high. If its based on everything but the movie, this is C level work. If the first featurette wasn't so good at explaining the confusing actions of the characters and the important themes in the film, it'd be a D grade for me. I'm writing my own DVD review with different grading. I loved the movie though. More entertaining than the equally great There Will Be Blood.

    This movie is the best that I watched recently. The plot is very original and intriguing. I was surprised by the fact that Tommy Lee Jones did nothing during whole movie, he was just appearing here and there, but he didn't affected development of story at all.
