#53. No Country for Old Men - Review
Tuesday, November 30, 2010 at 6:41PM
Man, what else could be said about No Country for Old Men? Although it was not my favorite movie of 2007 (There Will Be Blood), this is an absolutely perfect film. People love to harp on the last scene, but I think it sums up the picture beautifully. I feel ridiculous even writing about this film. Its only three years old and has already been deconstructed and studied, and the book goes even deeper into the themes found in the movie. Fate; inexplicable and inescapable, the dark cloud of fate is manifested in this film as a lumbering sociopath with a funny haircut. Make sure you don't miss this flick... Friendo.

I agree on EVERYTHING in this review. This was my 2nd favorite movie of 2007 (after There Will be Blood). Also...no score? Who knew that would work so well? (side note, there is a really good episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Season 5, Episode 16 "The Body" that Joss Whedon uses no score in...and it is amazing)
