No Country For Old Men

We watched No Country For Old Men tonight.

i get the message

but

this movie takes the cake

for having the WORST ending of ANY movie I've EVER SEEN in my LIFE!

Seriously. No closure, WHATSOEVER.

which was the cohen brothers' intent - to add to the films message

but that's not why I watch movies.

I prefer happy endings

& even a sad ending is okay now & then

but NO ENDING?

I swear, we both threw up our arms when the end credits started -

and said

whatthefuck.

More movies

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. I give this movie an A, if for no other reason, becasue Brad Pitt is so easy on the eyes. I do love a good western. This movie takes you to another place - another time. I very much enjoyed it.

Becoming Jane. Another 'A' ... Loved it. Amazing acting. Amazing story.

Martian Child. A+ on this one. Not just because we've been foster parents for so long & could relate ... not to say that I think our parenting skills come anywhere close to the man in this movie ... but because more of these stories need to be told, and children like this need to be heard.

Catch and Release. Entertaining. Great story. 'B+'

Kurt Cobain: About a Son. I was disappointed at first, because there were no Kurt pictures or performances. But After watching the 'behind the scenes' stuff, I understood, no, more than "understood" ... I got it. It's imperative to see the special features. A Strong B+ - especially for any Nirvana fan.

No Reservations. Entertaining. Enjoyable. 'B'

Movies

Unaccompanied Minors was hilarious & very, very fun. Perfect family night movie!

In the Land of Women was great. Excellent story line. Could have had a stronger, more creative ending, but overall very enjoyable. Great acting.

Good Luck Chuck was entertaining & made me burst out lauhing several times. Definitely for a younger audience though ... well, 18 - 30-something.

The Santa Clause 3 was a fun family movie. It's been at the top of our Blockbuster Queue for a while ... since November 07. We just got it. LOL

The Game Plan was really corny but very fun & cool at the same time. Just when I thought the predictable parts were about to happen, the story twisted. I laughed, I cried. Everything I look for in a movie.

Bourne

Bourne Ultimatum

Aside from the fact that I mutilated ALL ten of my already pathetic fingernails, I FREAKIN LOVED this 3rd in the series of Jason Bourne movies. TOTALLY left me saying: "I cannot WAIT 'till the next one comes out!"

There was only one scene in the movie that was a bit too fake & drawn out ... the entire rest of it was ...

Whew, man.

Awesomeness at it's finest.
