No Country is also a Cormac McCarthy book, and it has a McCarthy ending. A lot of his stuff ends kind of unresolved... and that's the point. Sometimes things don't change or get better, things just happen. I went into a big thing on it in Literary Criticism once for All the Pretty Horses, wish I could find it again.

Just watched Brick Mansions which was a quite a let down. Thought this would be similar to District B13 wasn't expecting the exact same plot with 1 or 2 insignificant changes. Wasn't to impressed by the trailer so I didn't realize it was a remake until I started watching. Kind of sucks that this was Paul Walkers last film as well since all I could think of the entire time was how much better Cyril Raffaelli was in the role :P.

I do have to say though RZA cracked me up. I didn't realize his character was supposed to be Jamaican until one of his last speeches when he started slapping the accent on nice and heavy :lol: .

Overall it's a okay action flick for a $1 rental but it is definitely an inferior film in almost every way possible compared to the original.

I went and saw The Judge. It's basically Tony Stark fights with a dad who never approved of him. Which makes it weird to see him without the Tony Stark goatee. It falls in that genre of films where a dysfunctional family is drawn together due to a loss, the one kid who managed to move far away from the small town is contrasted against the small town, etc. It didn't really bring much new and I left fairly disappointed with it.

PRIVATE PARTS

Ego stroking, bottom of the barrel crap. I give it one out of forty howard stern wigs.


KING OF THE HILL (1993)

Ever had one of those weeks, months, years, or even lives where everything is so routine? When only once in a while you get "a breath of fresh air"? KING OF THE HILL was a breath of fresh for me. Watching it was similar to going camping after a terrible week of waking up to the same alarm buzzer, and instead waking up to a crisp breeze and a blue sky.

The movie's heart and brain are all intact, yet all I can really say about the movie is "that it's about life". Ya know, being human and such. No swashbuckling, no superheroes, but there are prostitutes. It somehow is a movie about growing up but isn't a coming of age story.

And it's directed by Steven Soderbergh, and may be his best work ever. See it if you haven't, and don't judge it by it's trailer.

My wife and I did that in out children's nursery before our daughter was born. Nearly six years later, that ceiling still make me happy.
