What did you guys think of No Country for Old Men? Personally, I thought it was a little overrated due to its anti-climatic ending. However, I thought Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh was simply brilliant. One of the best characters in recent memories.

Major disappointment. If they spent less time of Crowe's character who just wasn't at all interesting, and more on Trupo (Josh Brolin's character) the movie would have been great, no question.

The sequels were better than I thought they would be. Cary Elwes had some of the WORST acting ever on screen though. The true torture was watching his "scream" near the end of the first Saw movie. Ugh.

Been catching up on some movies recommended here

Blood in blood out- A bit long and dated but a solid flick IMO
The Salton Sea- Pretty good
Munich- long a little flat but good, I thought Bana did a good job
The Kingdom- I loved this movie, watched it twice
Oceans 11- finally saw this, fun flick, Pitt bothers me when he attempts to display intelligence
No country for old men- Loved this movie, want to see it again

Now check out the original Rat Pack version. IMO, better than all three of the new ones combined.

I hated all 3 of the Ocean's movies. I know I'm in the minority so I'll shut up now.

I am currently watching Diary of the Dead.
