 | | No Country For Old Men | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | |  | No Country For Old Men - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 3/27/2009 5:36 PM | |
The only good man to be found in Joel and Ethan Coen's No Country for Old Men is a sheriff by the name of Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones). Every morning he has bacon and black coffee with his eggs and he'll take any chance he can to ride horses with his wife in the canyons of the Texas border territory. In a jarring opening monologue, Bell says that to know the kind of evil going on these days would require a man to put "his soul at hazard" and to say "OK, I'll be part of this world." He doesn't find appeal in conceding to either. read the full review | |

 | | Saw 5 (Unrated Widescreen) | | Videos/DVDs: See more matches | | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Saw V - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 1/9/2009 4:44 PM | |
At this point in the Saw series, reviews really don't matter. Frankly, this is one of the few fright franchises where audiences don't care about character development, directorial flair, or narrative invention. Instead, they want more Tobin Bell as Jigsaw, more illogical puzzle kills, and a reverse referencing that makes unimportant characters major players in later installments. To that extent, Saw V is definitely no different. Unfortunately, whatever made the first four films tolerable has been whisked away by unimaginative writing and even more pedestrian direction. read the full review | |

As the hero of Shooter, Mark Wahlberg narrows his eyes into a piercing stare, delivers his bite-sized chunks of dialogue under his breath, and maintains a constant state of muscle flex so that each vein in his ropy arms sticks up like a speed bump on an elementary school driveway.

 | | Superfreakonomics | | Books: See more matches | |  | Superfreakonomics, by Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner - Book Review By: Sahar - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/16/2009 2:15 AM | | Written in an easy to read and extremely engaging language, Superfreakonomics is bound to help you think outside of the box, which, in a messed up world where the solutions of the past obviously haven’t worked, is a great capacity to develop. But even with the laid back language, the quality and rigour of the research put forth cannot be denied, as all answers are backed up by referenced statistics and information. If you want a relaxing yet thought-provoking book to read, Superfreakonomics is definitely the book you want. read the full review | |

 | | Sam's Town | | Music: See more matches | | User Rating: 4.6 |  | The Killers - Sam's Town - CD Review By: Andy Peterson - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/20/2008 7:04 PM | | Even though the protagonists were from Vegas, not Vauxhall, Hot Fuss was undeniably a reverent indexing of the best of late-twentieth-century British pop music from Oasis to Duran Duran via Queen, New Order and Soft Cell. Such unfettered nostalgia struck a chord with a global audience and from the carefully-honed press hysteria that accompanied debut single "Mr Brightside" (e.g. The Sunday Times wrongly proclaiming it the "Teenage Kicks" of the noughties) to their effortless performance at Live 8, a perfectly-executed PR blitz helped the Las Vegas quartet’s careers eclipse the sort of dreams that their hometown sells to desperate strangers. Returning three years later sporting facial hair, wedding rings, and wardrobes realised from spaghetti western backlots, reinvention was clearly agenda item #1. read the full review | |

This third and possibly final entry in the series stands up to its predecessors in both categories, though maybe not in the follow through. read the full review | |

The Saw films will doubtless continue and soon enough Saw IV will probably be relegated to the same blur with which I now see the other sequels. But for now it's the odd movie out -- as cheap and cheesy as its brethren, but oddly boring for long stretches. By now, these Saw characters have been having a very bad couple of murder-packed weeks. Maybe it would be best if the filmmakers skipped ahead and put this behind them.
