The Coen Bros

Well these 3 movies we watched were by far the best ones, in my opinion. I didn't even get to finish Raising Arizona but it was still better than a lot of the movies we have seen in AoF 1 and 2. Raising Arizona was the funniest one I have seen in that class but I heard that it changes later on. Fargo surprised me on the comedy in if because I was waiting for the gore that I was spoiled on from someone who shall remain nameless for now. The last movie we just finished up, No County for Old Men, I have seen before earlier this school year. I really liked it then but now it is so much better. How I looked at it this time made it more enjoyable and answered some questions I had in my first viewing.
So my top 5 movie seen in AoF as of now is
1) No Country for Old Men
2) The Long Goodbye
3) Fargo
4) Stagecoach
5) Raising Arizona

Altman's Good and Bads


The only Altman film we watched that I liked was “The Long Goodbye”. It was a good mix of suspense and sum what action. I liked how Philip Marlowe was a man from the past in the future. How he was the only one who smoked and how laid back he was until he was pushed to far.
The film I disliked the most was “Nashville”. I could not follow it very well because of all the characters and how talk over each other. I would not like to watch another movie like that. It felt like there was to much.
