A huge night for the movie No Country For Old Men at the 80th annual Academy Awards.

The dark tale of a serial killer on the trail of a looted fortune won four of the “big six” including best picture.

The brother team of Joel and Ethan Coen won three of No Country’s Oscars — for Best Picture, Achievement in Directing (Best Director) and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Javier Bardem picked up the movie’s fourth Oscar, Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, for portraying a particularly brutal serial killer.

No Country for Old Men won the Best-Picture Oscar over the oil epic There Will Be Blood, the World War II drama Atonement, the corporate drama Michael Clayton and the popular made-in-Canada comedy Juno, starring Canadian Ellen Page.

The film was also nominated for four Golden Globe Awards and won two at the 65th Golden Globe Awards. Javier Bardem won Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture and the Coen Brothers won Best Screenplay – Motion Picture.

Roger Ebert gave it a four star review saying that the movie was "a masterful evocation of time, place, character, moral choices, immoral certainties, human nature and fate."

DVD Release:

Buena Vista Home Entertainment will be releasing the movie on DVD and in the high definition Blu-ray format on March 11th 2008.

My thoughts on the movie:

This movie is definitely my favorite movie of all time and without a doubt in my mind the greatest movie of all time. The most jarring, impactful, powerful, disturbing crazy shit you have ever seen. Your pulse is racing through out the entire movie. You could cut the tension in this movie with a fucking chainsaw. The whole movie is one huge chase scene. You are on the edge of your seat through out the entire movie. With your eyes glued to the screen almost as if it casted a spell over you.


The cast:

Javier Bardem played the Hitman/Serial killer in this movie. You haven't seen acting like this until you see this movie. I for one will admit no other actor even remotely compares to Javier in any fashion of the game. It's like you're watching the biggest sick fuck on the planet with the most creepy evil tone to his voice. He was so believable that if I walked into him on the street I would run. I walked out the theater saying he has the best supporting actor award in the bag and that he won in both the Oscars & the Golden Globe Awards.

Josh Brolin was also a perfect choice for this movie. He played such a great role in being the person who's life is on the line every second of the movie. He laid it down beautifully.

Tommy Lee Jones was absolutely perfect in this movie as always. Not to much of him just the right amount needed.


The ending:

I've heard some people say that they didn't like the ending. When you have a movie that has this much tension and momentum through out you're not going to deliver a satisfying ending the only thing you can do is just End. I for one thought the ending was Incredible. For the people that missed the point of the ending are to damn lazy to add 2+3 to get the ending.
