"He doesn't have a sense of humor. His name is Chigurh"

Now that you're done with class and you're back home meeting up with old friends, you're probably going to head to the movies at least once. We suggest you make that movie No Country For Old Men. Unless you like watching Jason Lee sell out, then by all means, Alvin and the Chipmunks.

First of all let's start out by saying that if you're the type of person who only enjoys movies with happy endings, then stay away from this film. There is no happy ending, and without giving too much away, you're likely to sit in your seat for about a minute before you finally accept that the movie is indeed over.

If, however, you can handle a movie without all the ends tied together neatly for you, you'll be treated to one of the baddest villains you've ever seen on film. After watching hitman Anton Chigurh wield a cattle gun and take out victims without even flinching, we are fully prepared to grow our hair out in full 1980s Dutch Boy style. 

No Country is vintage Coen Brothers, and if you've enjoyed any of their other films (Fargo, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, The Big Lebowski, etc.), then you'll love the dialog throughout the movie. The humor that you may have found in Minnesota Police Chief Marge Gunderson (Fargo) will again be seen in Texas sheriff, Ed Tom Bell. At times you'll find yourself laughing at something that would certainly not be funny in another movie.

We can't guarantee that you'll like this movie (some of you are, no doubt, morons), but here's what we'll do ... if you don't like No Country For Old Men, send us an e-mail and we'll pay* for your ticket for Alvin and the Chipmunks.

ha-mace's score: 3 out of 4 stars

*and by "pay," we mean tell you to "**** off!"
