I caught this movie on IFC last night. OK, so I missed the first half hour, but man, this movie is KILLER! All you Cohen brothers lovers out there, don't miss this oldie but a goodie (1984!). Features our beloved ms. McDormand, of course and it just blew me away. The cinematography is spectacular. That, you'll just have to see to believe. It's basic storyline is about a man in Texas, a bar owner, who hires a man to kill his wife and her lover. And of course, all has to go wrong. But as I was watching it, having read that brief synopsis, I was still just floored by how the Cohens can twist the 'all goes wrong' part. There's a nightmare scene towards the end that totally creeped me out. I swear I've had dreams like this before. And may I just warn my dear sister, Em that I had, in my mind, named that character Pukey McPukington. And I quietly applauded his death...or was it? Ha, anyway. This movie IS CLEARLY ONE NOT TO MISS. I can't believe it eluded me for so long. Stars beyond stars. On thars. Thursday, January 27, 2011

I remember this film from way, way back. It was before I know of the Coen Bros. Good movie, i want to see it again. Thanks for the reminder, Cat.
has anyone seen the teen flick, "Easy A" with Emma Stone? I would like to hear what you think.
Seriously, Dad?
I love this movie. It is one of my favorite Coen Bros movies.
I have heard from a lot of people who's opinion on movies I respect, that Easy A is a really good movie. I've been meaning to Netflix it.
My sister said that it was the best high school brat movie since Mean Girls.
We will have to Netflix this Cat!
I've missed this one too, but will be sure to catch it. I have also heard Easy A is pretty good. I'll have to Netflix it too.
PS I don't like the sound of Pukey McPukington at all.
Ha, Em. It wasn't that bad, really. It's just that I had barely watched 10 minutes of it and he'd barfed twice. Not graphic at all, just frequent. I totally didn't mean to sound like a movie snob, it just surprised me when Dad asked. Who knows, 'Easy A' could be awesome.
