Call it

I finally got round to watching No Country For Old Men a couple of days ago, I just had to after hearing everyone rave about it so much. It was alright, but once again I would not consider it anywhere near deserving of the praise it received. Javier Bardem was especially cool chips, and pretty much the sole reason it is as popular as it is, while Tommy Lee Jones did the same character he's done for the last thirty seven years. What really let it down was the ending, of which two out of three parts it consisted of were complete failures, while one part was actually pretty cool, but still nowhere near enough to redeem the film as a whole.

I sat down to Freeway the next day, which was rather enjoyable. It's one of those good old fashioned straight forward films with plot development that wouldn't have flunked you out of film school, as opposed to the 'I'm going to conclude the film by telling you about my dream which is completely unrelated to anything you've sat through for the last hundred and twenty minutes because that's DEEP and MEANINGFUL.' like some other such films...
Kiefer Sutherland gave another creepy-awesome performance, much like his Lost Boys, Dark City, Phone Booth days, with Reese Witherspoon showing that some women can find a productive place in our society outside of the kitchen if they really wish it hard enough.
