No Country for Old Men

"No Country for Old Men" is the Cohen Brothers' newest movie coming out this fall. I, for one, am very excited about this movie. It looks to be a tight suspense movie with engaging characters and a great plot; something many movies are missing.

Many of the Cohen Brothers movies are excellent; "O, Brother! Where Art Thou", "Raising Arizona", "Blood Simple". This will undoubtedly be ranked among their best. It has already garnered a lot of awards buzz, critical acclaim and fan excitement. In a time when many movies released are just plain bad, we are lucky when movie makers like the Cohen Brothers care enough about their craft to give us something great.

Of all the characters in the trailer, only Tommy Lee Jones' gives me a sense of "Again?". He seems to have latched onto the grumpy southern cop/Texas Marshall persona. Show us something different. Don't allow yourself to be typecast like that. We know you can do more. Hopefully I will be dead wrong about him in this case. Only time will tell.

Do yourselves a favor, as well as the movie industry in general, and go see this film when it is released. I'm sure you won't regret it.
