I've Seen NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN


"Anyone need their windows cleaned or tires filled?"

Based on the title, I thought this movie took place in the not so distant future. During a time where the powers that be have passed a law to eradicate male senior citizens for doing nothing more than burdening society by wasting our oh-so-precious oxygen with their incessant flatulence. I could not have been more wrong. It's about a hunter that finds some drug money in the middle of the desert and when he makes one extremely foolish mistake, he has everyone involved trying their best to recover their loot.

Personally, I don't understand all the hype for this flick. Is it good? Yes. Is it better than Sophia Coppola's Lost in Translation? Even though I asked it, I refuse to dignify that question with an answer. Leather faced Tommy Lee Jones may be the star of this film, but Javier Bardem stole the show. Without Bardem's acting in this production, you don't have a good movie. You'd just have a Jessica Simpson (aka- straight to video) .
