No Movie for Movie Lovers

Rating: Null/10 (17 March 2008)

When you think of watching "No Country for Old Men", think: Sam Peckinpah with only half the plot, and no conclusion. A movie in which Tommy Lee Jones provides the comic relief, spouting pseudo-Texas-isms, presumably to take shots at Dan Rather  Courage! Javier Bardem, an excellent Spanish actor who plays real roles in Spanish movies, is once again cast as an over-the-top maniac (as in 'Dance with the Devil'.) For this movie to have won Academy Awards is either telling us that 2007 sucked for good movies (although in 2007 Hollywood had record profits,) or that Academy members have a secret cabal to make the Awards seem as worthless as Nobel Peace Prizes!
