No Country for Old Men

Last weekend mom, Sharon & I went to see No Country for Old Men. This is one that mom has been wanting to see for a while, but we kept putting it off for other films. Although I've heard nothing but great things about this movie, I went in not knowing anything about it.

Not really sure what to say about this one. It was definitely different. There wasn't a whole lot of "dialog" and it was very intense. I really enjoyed it right up until the end. I was left scratching my head over that ending.

I'm sure there are many who will love this movie and I must admit, I will more than likely watch it again - if for no other reason than to see if I can figure it out the second time around - but I'm not sure this one was for me.

Great until the end.

Untraceable

Today mom and I went to see Untraceable with Diane Lane. She plays a widowed, cybercrime-investigating FBI agent on the trail of a guy who kills people in various grisly ways and broadcasts it live over the internet, on a website called killwithme.com.

The problem is that the more people who visit the site, the quicker his victims die. Worse, this sicko is extremely internet savvy, and knows how to prevent the cops from determining his IP address. In addition, every time the authorities attempt to shut down his site, he has it back up and running in a matter of moments.

This one got plenty of bad reviews and it is pretty grizzly and very intense, but all in all mom and I liked it.
