BBC has news of two new movies from the Coen brothers. First is No Country for Old Men – an adaptation of a Cormac McCarthy novel by the same name. “Violence and mayhem ensue after a hunter stumbles upon some dead bodies, a stash of heroin and more than $2 million in [...]

There is a very heavy hand marketing Borat, and I expect the jokes will get old very soon as a result. Hopefully Sascha Baron Cohen is planning something different, or has a couple of new characters in the works, because I would hate to see the impact of his humour lessened by over-exposure. [...]

I went to see this tonight – haven’t seen any reaction from Irish bloggers since it was released.

What is an Irishman but a nigger turned inside out?
I have been looking forward to this one ever since it got the Sigla thumbs up, it was well worth the wait. I love all of these Australian movies, Mr. Reliable, The Castle, Rabbit Proof Fence… even Wolf Creek although it scared the bejesus out [...]
