THE GOSPEL OF JOHN (2003)  (http://imdb.com/title/tt0377992/) - This is a very good film. The title also refers to it being a visual bible. It's word for word from the Gospel Of John. The narrated portion of this film was done by Christopher Plummer. Check it out

(8 out of 10 Stars) :thumbup: :thumbup: 10 stars if your a Christian.

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007) - Phew this is a good one. Real creepy and that one guy is a real psycho with some strange ways and a strange weapon.

(10 out of 10 Stars)  :thumbup: :thumbup:

30 DAYS OF NIGHT (2007) - Great concept for a vampire film set in Alaska. These really don't seem like vampires because they have razor teeth and don't seem to care how much blood they spill. You'd think they would take great care with every drop.

(8 Out of 10 Stars)  :thumbup: :thumbup: It keeps you interested.

THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY (1999) - Watched this as part of my daughters multiple personality paper at College. The film isn't bad  and the main character is not well. This film also has some nice Italian location shots.

(7 out of 10 Stars)  :thumbup: :thumbup: Seems like I've seen better on this subject.

No Country For Old Men was great. 
The ending was a bit of a downer and I had to go to the IMDB to understand everything that happened. 

And The Talented Mr. Ripley was excellent!   :thumbup:
I own this film on DVD and have watched it several times.
Tom Ripley is so bad but you can't help but like him.
You find yourself wanting him to get away with his crimes.  And he does!   :wink:

If you liked The Talented Mr. Ripley, you'll like Ripley's Game (http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060409/REVIEWS08/604090301/1023).
In it, Ripley is much older and is played to perfection by John Malkovich.
I also own Ripley's Game on DVD and cannot recommend it enough.

Saw No Country for Old Men the other night and yes Javier Bardem plays one very psycho hit man. I have to agree with Leonard Maltin about Tommy Lee Jones in this movie, he did a much better job in In The Valley of Elah.

The Talented Mr. Ripley probably deserves an 8 out of 10 stars. Amazing how much crime could have been done without todays forensics. Didn't know they made sequels. It was a film that was on my long list.


Yea, Tommy Lee Jones wasn't that great in this film, but that Javier Bardem played that role really well.

There is a real jerk at work, the kind of guy who will go out of his way to make you look bad even when it doesn't seem to benefit him, just so he can maintain his imagined status as "alpha dude' amongst the ranks. He's vermin and always trying to hump your leg, so to speak. Reminds me a little of Jim Belushi but more overbearing and loutish. He was talking about how much Javier Bardeem creeped him out in this movie, so I started calling him "Friendo". At first I only called him that on occassion and tried to be subtle about it but eventually I was calling him Friendo every day. I think it knocked him off his perch because now he doesn't try to embarass  me every time we have to work together. I stopped calling him that ,hopefully, before it became an HR issue. Of course now everyone calls him Friendo. I guess Corporate America is run by 6th graders.

Cheer up Hammock Rider. Even if life at work seems dismal you always have YATTA (http://youtube.com/watch?v=qFxjEy4J-7E). Here's to you while your going through these difficult times. Not sure it will help. Good luck.

By the way if you liked Javier Bardeem in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD ME then we had better check out LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA. Heard it might be good.

Patricia Highsmith, who wrote the 5 or 6 Ripley novels out there, found the French film "Plein Soliel"(1960) to be the best of the film Ripleys.
She also wrote "Strangers on A Train".  There was also a German Ripley:  "Der Amerikanische Freund"(1977), which is also a version of "Ripley's Game".  I've actually seen the French film, but not the others.

Thanks Conan but I'm more annoyed by the work situation than bummed out by it. And it may be changing for the better soon so I'm keeping a good thought. But thanks for the YATTA! That stuff whisks you out of the Now like a bottle of some kind of electronic internet Vicodin.
