Thor

I went to see Thor last night. It was a toss up on working some or relax a bit. Went with relax a bit. It was a good movie. Not great. Dragged a couple of times but storyline was good and the realm of Asgard was explored nicely. Definitely worth watching but not out of this world.

No Country for Old Men

I saw this Oscar winner a few weeks ago. It is one of those movies that sticks with you for a while. Complex, beautiful, supremely acted and directed, really a very good story. I was trying to figure out how Llew could have been in Vietnam thinking the movie was present day. Figured everyone in Texas just drove old trucks. Reading today it was set in 1980 the time frame makes a lot more sense.
Highly recommended.

A Cohen brothers movie egg seen the other night. In Raising Arizona, Nicholas Cage has the infamous tattoo of Woody Woodpecker. In Gone in 60 Seconds, in the shop with Duvall about 15 minutes into the movie. The camera pans down and on the window behind the workbench is that Woody Woodpecker as a sticker.

3:10 Egg Trivia

We watched 3:10 to Yuma a couple of nights ago. Great movie. A true western and very well acted. It was a great story that did not seem to present itself it that way during the theater run.
In the movie Russel Crowe goes to Bisbee. In another movie he goes to Bisbee.
Be the first to name the movie and win a nice little bud vase from Blue Sage.

Interesting thing

Also in that same movie the lead actor says I would like to be like that girl in the XMen - to be able to walk through walls. I counted three actors in that movie that also have had key roles in the XMen movies.

Darjeeling Unlimited

Wes Anderson makes movies. They are typically unique and insightful. I am a fan. I don't know much but I like his works. Darjeeling is really very good. Characters, development, acting, nuance. Little things. Whereas in Zissou I felt like I was watching an inside joke and I was on the outside, this one is like hanging out with old friends. I highly recommend this film too bad it is only on at one theater in the metro area.
