Hot Movie recommendation: No country for old men

During my 14 day US trip I have seen 4 movies: The new Rambo movie, Juno, The Eye and the latest Coen brothers movie: No Country for old men. The last one (beside Rambo) was the one which impressed me most. I bet this one will get at least two Oscars. I have to rewatch it as soon as it starts in Germany. This morning I also ordered the novel from Cormack Mc Carthy on which the movie is base at Amazon.

This movie is really fascinating, disturbing, brutal, shocking, and full of great scenes.

Javier Bardem as the Psychopathic bad guy Anton Chigurh: He impressed and frightend me most. The movie end is somehow astonishing and unexpected. I first was disappointed but then I really liked and I think I understood why it should end like this. 

[In the movie I recognized the bridge from El Paso to Juarez which I had walked myself two days before.]

Javier Bardem

After “No country for old men” I got interested in Javier Bardem. I checked out his filmography and found out that I already owned a DVD with him: “Perdita Durango”. I only own DVD’s of my favourite movies, so seems that he had already catched my interest earlier. I then rented “Before night falls”, and “Mar adendro” and was impressed a lot of the last one. Bardem fascinates me like once Benecio del Toro in “Traffic” but it got really quite on Benicio. Just yesterday I saw a trailer of his newest movie with Hale Berry (“Things we lost in fire”) but didnt like the trailer too much. Regarding Bardem I still have to see “Love in time of cholera”. Yesterday I have rewatched german version of “no country for old men”: Absolutely bad selection for the german voice of Anthon Chigurrh (Bardem) which does not reflect his cruelty and madness in the original version.

my movie attendance statistics 2008

I had the impression that I went less often to movie theatres this year. But checking my movie log showed that 32 attendances in 2008 are not too bad. It even increased compared to the last two years. Nevertheless it was not easy this time to find 5 movies for my top 5 list.

Movie recommendation:

revolutionaryroad 

Fascinating how this movie succeeds in capturing you 119 min for the dramatic events and a timeless subject: Vacancy and Illusions in life. Impressive performance of Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet. For me its quite sure this will be the big winner of the academy awards 2009. I bet for 4 Oscars. The nominations are 22nd january. Fascinating how Hollywood succeeds also in bringing world literature to a wide audience. I would never had read Yates by myself, but after the movie I ordered the novel with my Iphone at Amazon on our way home.
