Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead :: Review

I just watched Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke. To start, I just want to say I loved this movie. The music that begins in the first few scenes gave me goosebumps. The premise is outright amazing, making the movie purely insane. The directing in this movie takes the plot to the next level. It changes what could’ve been a flop into a masterpiece. The way the characters respond to the extreme conditions they are in is superb. While some of the scenes may be deemed as a little cliche, the plot is so original that it is hard to retain the cliche frame of mind. It really changed the way you think about human perseverance and the resistance to just saying you’re sorry. The characters act in such a way that may be inconceivable to us “normal” people, but change the instant you imagine yourself in that certain situation. I absolutely recommend watching this movie. It is a work of art, and a must-see.

No Country for Old Men: Prefection Attained

I was so glad when No Country for Old Men won best picture. This was only my second Coen Brothers film (my first was Fargo) but I expected a  lot considering all the hype surrounding their films. I’ll say that it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. The scenes with Javier Bardem were some of the most intense, well-filmed scenes I have ever witnessed. If you haven’t seen this movie, go out and see as soon as possible.
