No Country for Old Men

The latest offering from the Coen brothers.
In small Texas town, a welder Josh Brolin stumbles upon a drug deal gone bad and takes off with the drug money. Do ya think someone might come a lookin' for the cash?
One character is a little over the top (or a lot, depending on your perspective), but IMO this is one of the best movies of the year. The characters are well drawn, the dialogue is sparkling and punctuated by dark humor.
Though set in Texas, the landscape shots during the first of the movie are from New Mexico (end credits mention both Texas and NM) . . . just beautiful.
Tommy Lee (not the drummer!) may deserve an oscar nomination for best supporting actor.
For me, the Coen brothers have a portfolio of excellent movies. They are at the top of their game again.

I live in Toledo, and we occasionally don't get first run movies that others get....apparently we are to cornpone to appreciate them. In any case, I read the book, and if the movie is half as good I will be thrilled to have seen it.
I can't wait for this to arrive. Coen's had several very good films, two classics, - tinear 15:13:13 11/10/07 (1)
and several stinkers, lately.
They always have some over the top characters, btw...

  Which seemingly coincide with the appearance of a variety of co-producers, and major studio financial support. If I could ask either of them one question it would be why are they now allowing outsiders in their projects.
