[pjg351]

Just wondering if anyone has been to the movies latley? I was in the big smoke yesterday getting a roo bar fitted to the wifes new car, and thought i'd go and see a movie. Had no idea what was on, but i thought i'll watch Russell Crow's new one, 3.10 to Yuma. Nope! wasn't on till the afternoon, so i chose" No country for old men". only because Tommy lee Jones was in it, he's one of my favourites.
So without telling you the whole story, ole Tommy plays a Texas county sheriff, ready to retire. That is untill a group of shot up Mexicans appear in the outback there. By the way if that is what Texas really looks like, then where i'm living is not to bad. Anyway what develops is a real good thriller between a syhco killer and a good ole local Texas boy who happens to stumble across the Mexican drug deal massacre and find himself a 2 million booty
The ensuing chase for the loot is a beauty, and is not for the faint hearted The star of the show is the sycho killer played by Javier Bardem, he is one creepy dude. As for ole Tommy, he is realitivley quiet in this one and maybe he should be retired. Just one thing though you'll hate the ending, there has to be a sequel. They can't end a good movie that badly and not have one. Worth a look



This guy is creepy!

..and to your question about Texas~It's so big we have a bit of everything, Terrain, City & Sea Seriously, it's amazing how diverse the landscape is.

I liked No country for old men, thought it was excellent. But one of the best movies I've seen in a long time is Into The Wild. Basically the story of a recent college graduate from a materialistic up-class family who donates his savings to charity and goes to live in the wild for 2 years- its amazing story.
