transformers had SICK music bro don't know what you're talking about
Things I think about things you think (using kelly kay's +/- system):
-tommy lee jones in nc4om: you could easily construct a cogent narrative of tommy lee's life from the time he retires from the men in black onward; he just moves to neo-westerns and plays roughly the same part over and over again. BORING.
+daniel day-lewis: are you kidding me? the most impressive and awesome performance i've seen ever with the exception of welles in CK.
?saorise ronan: i wasn't paying attention because i was so annoyed by either the soundtrack or her fast-motion walks down the stairs.
+++michael cera & cate blanchett: duh.
josh brolin: just alright. he has a great face, but that doesn't mean he can act especially well.
---the coen brothers script for no country: you can't give the bros big ups for writing nc4om when they adapted it from a mccarthy novel. not coming up with a great script from the book would have just meant the coens are retarded.
-juno: you totally would have liked this movie if there had been a panda in it somewhere. maybe on a vintage tee or something.
Good reading yourr post
