2007 - No Country For Old Men: "It's your lucky quarter."

2007 Best Picture

Premiered November 4, 2007 in Hollywood

Budget $25 Million

Gross $74 Million

The Coen brothers wrote and directed this odd little movie. It is like they took the book on how to make a great movie and threw it away. It is unconventional but it is a good movie because it is unconventional. For example, there is no soundtrack whatsoever. However, the lack of music adds to the creepy nature of the movie. In summary, it is a unique movie and a compelling movie at the same time. 

Callie
Favorite: I liked the fact that it was so eerie with no music in the background.
Least Favorite: It was just so random. I kept thinking "this movie won"? But I liked it at the same time.

Joel
Favorite: Anton was such a mysterious and creepy villain. He was up there with Hannibal as an all time creepy bad guy.
Least Favorite: The "hero" was eliminated and we find out in a very un-dramatic fashion.
