Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Heheh, I compared it with No Country, too. I guess since they are the bigger "serious" movies of the season. I liked and admired them both.

The final act of No Country didn't sit too well with me ... and yet I consider it a fine film because I couldn't stop thinking about it for days.

I don't find myself ruminating too much on There'll Be Blood ... but I thoroughly enjoyed it's brief 3rd act that played off Citizen Kane so cannily (but yeah, if that's what prompted all the comparisons to the Welles classic, the filmmaker didn't do himself any favors with a choice that I happen to have enjoyed.)
