A GREAT film!!!! Top 100 of all time.

Not.
The hype machine these days for Hollywood crapola truly is artful. It seems there is no shortage of whore-like film criticism.
"The Departed" a masterpiece!
"The Valley of Elah" a terrific and moving story of a father's anguish!
"There Will be Blood:" the best film of the decade!
"No Country for Old Men:" another classic from the Coens!
All okay films but, because of the ridiculous expectations reviews such as I parodied create, eminently disappointing.
I purposefully stayed away from "Half-Nelson" because the hype was so intense and I didn't want to be disillusioned yet again.
That film was the exception.
Not a film, necessarily, for the ages but a very well crafted and acted one. Actually, it's one of the VERY few films from that year which I'd like to revisit: it had complexity which a second watching would reward.
