Not sure if this movie is on anyone's radar yet but it's released next friday and I can't wait. This is the new Coen brothers film, based on a novel by Cormac McCarthy. I've yet to read the novel but the trailer looks great and the early word is very good.
I'm a big fan of the Coen brothers. Raising Arizona is one of all time favorites and I still laugh my ass off when I watch it no matter how many times I've seen it. Miller's Crossing is a truly underrated film and it's hard to fully appreciate until watched it a few times. Blood Simple, Fargo, Barton Fink, O Brother Where Art Thou (just revisited this film on sunday), The Man Who Wasn't There, The Big Lebowski...impressive stuff. Sadly their last 2 films The Ladykillers and Intolerable Cruelty have disappointed me. No Country looks to be a return to form, of sorts, for the Coens. Although their films are fucking hilarious, their films can also be brutally violent. Watch the trailer and see if you sense the doom for poor Josh Brolin's character.
Another thing I like about them is that they've employed my favorite cinematographer, Roger Deakins, for almost 20 years. Good trivia question...What now famous director was the Cinematographer for the Coen's in the early days. Same said director also shot some pornos on 16mm back in the day. Start googling...

Bbbbbbbbbb......aaaaaaa.....rrrry Sonnefeld! Yes, my friend, I do believe the Cohens are back in action. Another picture needs attention though: Hudsucker Proxy. Not a perfect film but fantastic in itself.
indeed michael it does need more recognition and nicely done on sonnenfeld- I wish he still shot
Looks like a good cast...good find.
I am not sure what is scarier aout this movie, the actual movie or the guys hair style.
I think steve should dress up like him next year.
I concur! I am laughing my ass off already picturing the massive wig.Or better yet Steve grow out your hair and straighten it just for this.
and do at least one wedding with that hairstyle
and then get fired from the rest when pictures of him surface. That is a haircut for pedophiles and stalkers!
