This year has brought in some distinct characters to us. From Anton Chigurh in "No Country From Old Men" to Vampires in "30 Days of Night." Plenty of them send us to the edge of our seat and wonder what else can happen. Then movies will end and we ask "uh, that was the end?"
"No Country Old Men" stars: Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, and Tommy Lee Jones
The Coen Brothers delive a well-executed, semi-suspenseful entertainment. Though I love the actors and directorial aspect of the movie, it lets you down. A perfect creation, until the end of the movie when Chigurh has killed dozens of people and you can not understand the point. What? The point of the movie was a guy who gets in deep shit and runs from an estranged assassin the whole movie. The performances by Bardem and Brolin could not protect this movie from a very unsatisfying conclusion. Reduces to a 7 out of 10 at the ending.
"Michael Clayton" stars: George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson, and Tilda Swinton
Refreshing. Tony Gilroy delivers a clever, action plenteous movie. This movie, start to finish is a wild ride of good, bad, and the in-between. It starts with Wilkinson babbling after thrashing his clothes off in a meeting, from there it takes off. Clooney gets involved by interacting with Wilkinson. Clooney doesn't "negociate" and throwns down a marvelous performance in a movie that deserved more than it got. Gets a 9 out of 10 for embracement and performance.
"30 Days of Night" stars: Josh Harnett and Mellisa George
Going into this movie everyone understand vampires, night equals blood, gore, violence. I thought "30 Days of Night" wasn't going to be that good. I came out different though. It surprised me significantly. David Slade devilers a powerful and intriguing vampire movie. Most of the town has left for the 30 days of darkness up and coming. A stanger rolls into town. Mysteriously guard dogs, phones, and sources to the outside are taken from the small town of Barrow, Alaska. The town in thrown into terror and the remaining few must band together to struggle to the finish of the dreadful month. Is a perfect movie for zombie, vampire fans, or just looking for a bang, bang dash from vampires. It deserves a 8 out of 10.
"Dan in Real Life" stars: Steve Carrell
If you are looking for one of Carrell's better movie this is one of them. "Dan in Real Life" had some funny moments. Although it is quiet for normal Carrell fans. It was mainly spread out on how he takes care of his children. He also has to figure a way to defeat the fact that the women he loves is dating Dane Cook, his brother. So it is pretty funny at some parts and touching. This is a movie if you are looking for something that does not include: violence, blood, gore, drugs, and other good aspects you known from other movies. I definately say if you are into this, go check it out and rent it. "Dan in Real Life" brightens you to a 8 out of 10.
