Excellent, haunting, stays with you afterwards.
Bit of an abrupt ending thou
Going to see it today, haven't been looking forward to a film as much for a long time.
I just saw 'No Country For Old Men' and WELL its brilliant. It just reels you in. BUT the ending - WTF, I think I have to watch it again or go read the book. I missed something somewhere... Top notch movie - def gets my recommendation. Its gripping, moments of pure brilliance, and comedy yes comedy. It has me so jumpy a bloody spider just made me jump about 5 feet (I'm scared of them anyhow!) No I have to go get the MF out of here with a long stick or newspaper and throw it out the front door!!!

Just seen it, brillant stuff, best I've seen in a long while. I liked the ending though, thought everything was pretty well wrapped up, as in you knew where every character stood at the end!

Great movie, but found the ending a little unsatisfying. A really cracking thriller though with great performances by Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin and Woody Harrelson, but Javier Bardem was man of the match. Jesus, he was actually scary! That bit at the start with the poor old shop-keeper was seriously unnerving, it reminded me of Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. It's worth seeing for Bardem alone.
Charlie Wilson's War. Really enjoyable. What to be expected from Aaron Sorkin; the script was very sharp. Philip Seymour Hoffman steals every scene he's in. Outstanding in it with the script helping him. Tom Hanks did what Tom Hanks does; solid and unspectacular. Overall well worth a look.
Interesting watching considering the relevance of America's actions in today's world.
I shouldn't have enjoyed it but I did; self -indulgent with few outright laughs and flaccid script. But songs were good, John C Reilly hammed it up shamelessly and Jenna Fischer always worth the price of admission.

Only caught it today before it leaves the cinemas. Glad I did I thought Tom Hanks did a good job, never a fan of his but he is getting better (at acting that is ) as he gets older... Perfect for when you've nothing else to do and its rotten outside, or tired. It keeps you entertained, but it does lack a little bit of action, figured they could have shot some more action scenes in Afghanistan. 7 out of 10
It really, really is!!!! I knew there was some singing in it but bloody hell it was practically all fecking singing. Johnny Depp was good but overall it was more irritating than anything else.
Violently hungover yesterday, watched Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead.
Brilliant, odd, wonderful film.
A little known fact about JC (not Jerry, the other one. The nice Jewish boy) was that he was a top-level statistician. Where does the bible tell us this? Mark 6:30-44
