I am the third Coen Brother
I've just seen the best movie of the year. Make that the past three years. Make that the best movie since that last movie came out that really impressed me.
It's called, "O Brother, This Really Ain't a Counry for Old Men or Lebowskis."
Chris Durant, my cohort in crime, is watching it even as I write this, and his usual reaction when I am impressed with a flick is to try real hard to be unimpressed. It's a trick he learned in the junior high shower stalls.
But seriously, this movie takes what in most directors hands would be an ordinary thriller and turns into a rumination on all that is good, evil and indifferent to the world. If this movie doesn't win best picture, the Academy is smoking the same crack Marion Barry used to smoke. And from what I hear, that was the serious crack.
