New Cinema Wallpaper of the Day
Friday, December 26, 2008

This Marfa, Texas area lensed film grows on me each time I see it. There are a couple of different Japanese posters for the film and this one is by far my favorite as I think it fuses everything together quite well in very minimal fashion and colors.

Soft spoken and pragmatic, Tommy Lee Jones brings Sheriff Ed Tom Bell without a hitch despite being saddled with at times rather intricate and lofty dialogue. He brings poetry and a sense of soulfulness to in hands of other actors could have turned into pretentious misfires. Sure you could say this role fits snugly into the cannon of Jones, but he completely loses himself into the role so he solely exists as Bell without ever offering a glimpse there is an actor behind pulling the strings.

Inspired Japanese poster artwork for the latest Coen Brothers film, No Country for Old Men. The artwork itself features a distortion of brown that makes the overlying area around the cow skull seem more artifacted than normal, which is certainly an interesting added artistic choice.

Incredibly striking scenic picture in “No Country for Old Men.” Josh Brolin certainly in my mind put in one of the better and more under appreciated performances of 2007 as Llewelyn Moss. There isn’t a lot of dialogue in his role as it’s mainly a body language and expression type of a part he pulls of admirably. Who knew Brand Walsh would go on to be such a badass?
