With the risk of giving you the impression that I go to the cinema every week, I want to tell you about the movie I saw this Saturday. Still not the Kite Runner, as I went with my wife and she already saw that one. Instead I saw No Country for Old Men.
It is dangerous to compare it with anything else, but if I have to I would compare it to a gloomy version of Pulp Fiction. However, that resemblance is limited to the level of violence being used combined with a peculiar sense of humor. There the resembles stops as quick as it started.
Perhaps it is my lack of imagination but there was only one scene that I found to be predictable. For the rest of it I had no clue where it was going, and that pleasant feeling lasted until the end. I can't mention any character that was not convincing, including the side-kicks. Come to think of it, except for the hunter and the hunted every other character made a pretty "normal" impression. That is, as far as people from Kansas can be considered to be normal (no offense meant).
On a scale of "worthless" to "genius", I gladly give it an "excellent".

just watched no country for old men, it's unassumingly unconventional yet (thankfully) never over-the-top. the Coen bros. deserve their Oscars; well done indeed.
Indeed I never got a clue what the film would end. Even when I saw it....Great movie.
I like a game which needs to use wow gold, when you do not have World of Warcraft Gold, you must borrow warcraft gold from friends, or you buy wow gold. If you get cheap wow gold, you can continue this game.
