I watched No Country for Old Men this weekend. I think this is my favorite Coen Bros. film. I loved it and Bardem was very creepy!

I actually did not buy There Will Be Blood today on DVD because of its packaging. The case was made from thin cardboard. There was barely a spine visible with the movie's title. Cheap-o, cheap-o.

Eric rented Nancy Drew- I fled the room after the first four minutes. The critiques I've read were spot on: one giant suckfest of a movie. Well, the first four minutes, anyway. I've no intention of going back in that room until the movie is over.

I have to agree with you. Zach rented it at Redbox and thankfully it quit working after 15 minutes or so. They gave us a code for 2 rentals so now he wants Chipmunks!

Heheh, sounds like out of the frying pan and into the fire!

I'm surprised there's such cheap packaging for a prestige pic like There Will Be Blood. Hmmph. That won't stop me from buying it though, since I am purchasing ... to my mind ... the movie I want to watch and not the box for my nearly useless collection of movies on the shelf.


Hmmm, maybe I'll Netflix it after all. :iSm:

Lol- that's funny....We rented (well, Eric did, so it's his fault) both ND and AATC at the same time. The chipmunks were cute, but not cute enough to hold my attention for longer than 1/2 hour.

My ND review is northwards in this thread... but my AATC review is only this: woe to the execs who made me listen to "Funkytown" every day for four months.

Then you missed the heart of the movie.

Sadly, I think I'm going to have to sit through both ND and AATC tonight. I wonder if alcohol will make it less painful? It could just make it worse though. Good thing I get to torture him with sheperds pie for dinner!

Perhaps, because plastic is derived from oil, there was a message behind the choice of packaging. Paul Thomas Anderson probably wouldn't have made the movie if he didn't have strong feelings on the subject.
