Best movie of the year.
Off the top of my head I go 1.NCFOM 2.Zodiac 3.Gone Baby Gone 4.Michael Clayton 5. Bourne Ultimatum Never read the book...vaguely knew what it was about from the trailer. Brolin and Bardem give [censored] amazing performances. Bardem villain is up there will Hans Gruber, Hannibal, etc. The directing, locations, set design, cine..everything is just flat out perfect. Tommy Lee Jones is solid playing his typical role. Very violent obv., the fight scenes and shootouts are so damn intense its sick. Even Bardem having a conversation with a gas attendant makes yr heart pound. There is very little exterior music added to the film...everythig you hear is sound coming from within the scene itself...kind of like Dead Calm. Lots of humor too...I was surprised how often people were laughing at jokes etc. One of the Coen Brothers best. Go see it. ![]() |

Thanks. It got a rave review in the L.A. Times today. New Yorker didn't like it much.

The book was kind of a period piece set in the late '70s. Is the movie as well?

It looks pretty good. Has anyone read the book? It won a Pulitzer right?
The movie got like 94% on RT. I'll probably check it out some time next week. |

i thought cormac mccarthy's "The Road" was outstanding. i might have to read this one now. Of course by reading the book i will likely ruin the movie experience. OTOH if I watch the movie I will ruin the book [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
edit: I know "The Road" won a pulitzer... don't know about this one |

Yeah, saw it at a screening monday...Brolin and Bardem did a Q&A afterwards which was cool. I think it comes out this weekend in limited release then goes wide next week. I'll def see it again next week. Def go see it in a good theater with really good sound. Bardem really should be nominated for an Oscar for his performance. Brolin is amazing as well. |

Yes..takes place in 70s. [/ QUOTE ] it takes place in exactly 1980. In the gas station scene he talks about how the 1958 quarter has been around for 22 years. |
