Lets catch up since I figured out how to set my wireless up finally:
No Country for Old Men:
Fabulous. I'm not sure if it is better than all of the other nominations for best picture but it was one of the best of the year. i'm still not sure if i liked this or gone baby gone as the best drama of the year. This was interesting because it was a little bit of a genre mixer just like most Coen movies. Javier obviously a scary motherfucker. Josh Brolin surprised me. did NOT like the obvious tommy lee jones repeating the whole point of the movie in mundane everyday conversation at the end i think its over done and a cop out. But it was scary scary and interesting and unique and worth a good watch.
Take the Lead
Blah blah. I'm a huge sucker for inspirational education movies like this but this was one of my least favorites in awhile. The dancing was cool and its inspired by a true story which is always amazing. But this one was forced. Banderas was surprisingly sweet and good but the kids felt forced...there wasn't enough back story on most of them and then the big climax dance off didn't even feature enough dancing from everyone....it was incomplete but still as long as a complete movie. Skip it unless its in the 99c bin or you borrow it. don't pay for it please
Down in the Valley.
I'm torn. I liked it but I really didn't like it at all. I LOVE Edward Norton the most of all my fantasy movie boyfriends and i fell in love with him as one of the most phenomenal actors of our time again in this movie. He just makes himself so seamless and fabulous. You know its him but you can't know its him at the same time. He was the sexiest creep cowboy I've ever seen and his drawl was just a fantasy. Yet the movie dragged on and got a little confusing at the end. There was this insane intense sequence that you don't even see coming and I just gasped and was so shocked like I haven't been in forever at the movies. Then after that its a bad downward spiral.....plus who told Evan Rachel Wood she could act?
So in conclusion.
-Unless you are a crazy movie buff like me only check out No Country for Old Men....Edward Norton can still carry the crappiest of movies and I love him to death....and skip Take the Lead especially since there are about half a dozen other cheesy dance movies that are way better.
