los hermanos Coen

are back!
i watched tonight
No Country for Old Men
it does felt
like a Coen bros. film
recommended
Tommy Lee Jones and
Javier Bardem acting are remarkable
but sadly Woody Harrelson, was just
"whatever", I do respect and admire
Harrelson, specially for his acting in
The People vs. Larry Flint

but anyway
No Country for Old Men
felt like a good-written but on 80's western
with a psycho twist
an enough-confusing violence to make it drier
great photography and much texan speaking
worth the 2hrs on a Friday night

The psycho guy is played by Javier Bardem, from Perdita Durango, Entre las piernas, Carne Tremula and the classic Jamon jamon... Personally, I hate most of these spanish movies, although I believe this guy is a really cool actor...
Looks very promising... to be added to the 'must watch' list, along to Lynch's Inland Empire...

hola betiur!

si si Bardem's character is excellent, he's a great actor indeed! of all the movies you listed above, to confess the only one i really like is Carne Trémula, i thought that was an excellent movie, but just as you, i am NOT a big fan of all the "spanish" post-modern or whatever wave, i think almovodar is over-rated as well... in any case, try some Alex de la Iglesia films!!! now those are funny, dark, ironic, and hilarious

and gracias again betiur nice to see you around here :)
