movie thoughts: No Country for Old Men

Note to self: never attempt to watch a movie like this before bedtime.  It is just too tense!  The music was used sparingly, making for moments so silent, you could hear the actors breathing.

I’m afraid to say any more for fear of ruining this film.  Watch it.  The Coen brothers have come a long way from Raising Arizona.
