I got a pre screening for the movie, it was fantastic. Still can't figure out how the Golden Globes snubbed this one. I think you will enjoy it very much since you are a Jeff Bridges fan.

 

Its amazing how active Bridges is once again in the movie industry. I think everyone loves him as "The Dude" but as of late he has really taken his acting to another level and I was glad when he won for Crazy Heart last year. He's done Iron Man, will be in the highly anticipated TRON movie as well good to see him at the top of his game even now.

Yeah I can't wait to see that one. The Coen Brothers are my favorite filmmakers ever. Unfortunately it's gonna be released in February in France... It's gonna be hard to wait that long. I'm sure that it's gonna be a terrific one. Well there ain't any Coen movie that I don't like anyhow (I don't like Hudsucker and Intolerable Cruelty as much as the others though but I still like them a lot).

 

I can't wait !

It was a very good movie, though not great. I was thinking 8 or 9 out of 10, but probaby closer to 9/10.

 

The acting is great (Bridges, Damon, and Steinfeld especially) and the score and cinematography are good as expected from Carter Burwell and Roger Deakins. It is better than the original in almost every aspect, and will definitely get some nominations come Oscar time. And for those worried about the PG-13, don't. It's very graphic for a PG-13, and I'm betting the only reason it didn't get an R was because there really isn't any bad language as expected from the Coens.

 

However, this isn't like the other Coen movies. While it is up there in terms of quality with the other Coen movies, it is way more mainstream compared to their other films and more of a genre picture than the rest of their work.
