Movie Review for the Oscars - No Country for Old Men

Spoiler Alert !

I saw "No Country for Old Men" last night.

1. No car chase. -10 points
2. No aliens. -8 points
3. Romance. -6 points
4. Nobody cried (although one looked like she might). 2 points
5. The villain wins. -20 points
6. Two dogs die. -20 points But they're pit bulls so OK, lets go with -10 points.

The story rocks along with lots of graphic gratuitous violence until about 20 minutes from the end when it turns into introspective contemplation of the human condition. Or in other words time wasting, boring crap. Up until those closing 20 minutes I thought it was just a fairly ordinary movie. But with -52 points on the "butt scale" and probably the worst movie ending I've ever seen in a cinema, I'd say its guaranteed an Oscar. Its crap and I would advise everybody to avoid it at all costs.

There is one plus. The villain was probably the most evil, convincing, gratuitously violent screen villains I've ever seen. He'll haunt you for weeks once you've seen him in action. That guy probably should get an Oscar (so of course he won't).
