Malena 9/10

I also loved The Ladykillers, and though I liked The Big Lebowski, I wasn't too fond of O Brother, Where Art Thou.

Ive also seen the most recent film, A Serious Man, that just came out. I think it's probably my second favorite of their films.

1. Fargo
2. A Serious Man
3. No Country For Old Men
4. Miller's Crossing

You'll have to see the newest film when you get a chance, It's pretty brilliant.

I may give The Big Lebowski another chance, having watched it only once at a relatively young age when it first came out (1998), and somewhat regret placing such a disliking label upon it so early. Unfortunately, I have not yet seen A Serious Man yet, but have only heard good things - thanks for the recommendation, as I will certainly look into it.
No Country for Old Men, I feel, got neglected greatly amid most other Coen brothers films, especially somewhat more mediocre works like O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Burn After Reading (perhaps it seems obvious at this point that I would not call myself a Clooney fan). Sure, it won some Oscars, but among the Coen brothers fan-base, it got mostly overlooked - perhaps because of the less mainstream actors/actresses? I loved everything about No Country for Old Men - mysterious plot, subtle acting, and enough twists and turns to watch multiple times back-to-back!

Last night, upon a recommendation from a friend, I watched Sideways, a film she thought resembled me, starring Paul Giamatti as a painstakingly pretentious and undeniably depressed wine snob, literary geek, introverted man with a dark humor. I wonder why she thought I would like this; regardless, I did a lot. Alexander Payne wrote and directed this gem, the same director of Election, About Schmidt, and one of the fragments from Paris, je t'aime, so this hinted a bit that I might enjoy this slightly over 2 hours. It had a few slow parts, but would burst forth with its blunt, forceful internal and external struggles with themes of alcoholism, depression, adultery, love vs. lust, longings for the past, and friendship, featuring breathtaking regions of some mid-California vineyards I unregretfully recognized with a fuzzy memory, and a dark, subtle humor somewhat reminiscient of Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach. A beautiful film, a triumph!
Rating: 9.5/10.

Death at a Funeral
Silly, ridiculous, and funny. I loved it 8/10

Mono- Personally, I love The Big Lebowski. It's one of those movies you have to be in the right mood for though. It's odd...you can't take it seriously. It's one of those where you usually either love it or hate it.
But if you're ever in a silly or lighthearted mood, I reccomend giving it another shot

Elite Squad

By the director of City of God, this is a stark, violent but realistic film about how the violence of Brazilian cities creates a vicious circle for both the police and the inhabitants. It is a harrowing, sad and haunting film that leaves you grateful that you don't live there.

8/10.

Is it a documentary or is it a movie (similar to City of God)?
I love that movie but it is heartbreaking

Elite Squad started life as a documentary but ended up as a movie. The police co-operated with the director in making the documentary, but then they got cold feet and so the director felt that he had to make a fictional account based on the documentary evidence he had received. He worked closely with drug pushers and their gangs and the police to show what life is like in the elite squad. Before it was released, a pirate copy made its way round the city, and it is believed that 11 million people watched it before it was even released, which is just as well, as most people wouldn't have been able to see it in the cinema. its an awesome film, but filled with sorrow, misery, suffering and sadness. I recommend it.

Thanks for the info. I will definately check it out

Transformers I -- silly, dumb, loud, bright, cliche -- so just a tick below nearly every other movie there is.

5/10

Doubt with Meryl Streep and Phillip Hoffman, I was just overwhelmed by this movie and one scene in particular left me in tears, when the little boy is bullied and Hoffman appears and helps him pick up his books and then gives him a hug. Hoffman never ceases to amaze me. The ending kinda surprised me a bit, I would've bet that sour Nun would have never admitted she might be wrong. But other than that, I loved the movie.

Burn After reading was just a pretty terrible movie. Coen Brothers like to do that intentionally, I feel like. They have an interesting sense of humor and I like it. I don't want them to be COMPLETELY serious. I like that they can go from making a movie as wonderful as No Country For Old Men and win best picture one year, and make a silly stupid comedy with Burn After Reading the next.

And don't count out George Clooney, completely. He was amazing in "Michael Clayton" (probably the only amazing movie i've seen that he's acted in) which came out in 2007. Also his newest film he's working on "Up In The Air" is a shoe-in to win best picture this year.
(due to festival buzz and early reviews, it doesn't come out til december)
I'm pretty excited about it, at least.
