no country for old men

this past weekend nathaniel and i went to the movies for the first time since before kendal was born. i remember just before he was born, 3:10 to yuma was coming out and we wanted to see it. i believe we were actually planning to go the evening i went into labor. i bought him the YUMA dvd a few weeks ago. we finally watched it saturday night. it is a great movie, even after watching no country for old men which is what we watched friday night. so anyway, back to my story. no country for old men is by the coen brothers. they also made fargo, raising arizona, and ladykillers. all great movies. this movie, though, is just amazing. the (and i don't know the right word here) filmatography was breathtaking (the way it was filmed, the scenes, not only what they showed but the way they were cut and flowed from one scene to the next, etc.) i HIGHLY recommend anyone who wants to go watch a triller, go see this movie ASAP. we were on the edge of our seats the entire movie. some of it i even had my hand over my eyes (because it was TOO suspenseful if there is a such thing!) its not that often that i watch an american blockbuster movie that i consider one of top 10 favorites of all time. no country for old men is definitely on in the top 10. 3:10 to ranks in the top 20. its funny that these movies have similar plots. most interesting, though, is no country for old men has NO music. none. how do you make a movie with no music? you need to watch it and see...
