    It was hard to stay awake...

    ... while watching THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE, but it's a COEN Brothers film so I had to have it. It really is an interesting, though quirky story. It's just that Billy Bob Thornton plays his character so well ( the guy is laid back... I mean really laid back) that at times you think he is going to fall asleep along with you. But getting through it is worth it. I won't say much about it, except that it has some similarities to one of their early films-- Blood Simple. Even if you are not a Coen Brothers fan, give it a rental at least... and drink lots of coffee beforehand. :4:

          John, and anyone else tuning in... please do not adjust your set. There is nothing wrong with your TV. This film is BLACK & WHITE, oh, but what black and white it is. Absolutely amazing in its detail. Hope your tv is calibrated for a good b&w picture,though.

              The Coen Bros. are pulling my chain again...
              by George Bellefontaine
              Aww I love these guys and own just about everything they have out on dvd. They never fail to entertain me with offerings of everything from quirky characters to downright funny plots to downright nasty violence. This time, with INTOLERABLE CRUELTY, they are pulling the chain to my funnybone.

              Whose wacky Coen Bro's!
              by KennyG
              Are you of the mind that each Coen bros movie is better than the last?...rumour has it that their coming "O brother where art thou" continues the string, and if you don't like Clooney now, you will after this one.
