The directors film The Blue Kite is one of my favourite films, and The Horse Thief has not been available on dvd and has been out of print on vhs for some time.

Subsequent viewings of Bayside Shakedown and Summer Time Machine Blues haven't failed to entertain and neither has Udon either so if you're a fan of quirky, gentlly humorous Japanese films - go for it!
No Country For Old Men 1/20/08

I've seen the film twice now in the past few days and nothing in it has disappointed me. The Coens have been so true in their adaptation, as far as films are able to be.

Shades of The Incredible Journey and Oliver enter the film and you end up wishing someone would feel sorry for the dog and give him a decent home.

Fincher has made a serious film here which may not appeal to people who're looking for another Se7en. It's not moodily brooding, or lit in beautiful tones, neither does it make the hairs on the back of your neck creep up, but what it does do is explain a whole case from beginning to end, a fairly unusual occurrence in our quickfix film times.
