No Country For Old Men

Now that I have this Coen Brothers masterpiece upon DVD, I've watched it quite a few times. Javier Bardem is still every bit as terrifying to me as he was upon my initial viewing, which I think is a true testament to the strength of his performance, but there are other cast members who have made an impression in the meantime upon me too, including Kelly Macdonald - she plays quite a passive and powerless character for much of the film, but by the end she's demonstrated that she has quite a lot of inner strength too.

I'm also really delighted to have picked up the original novel by Cormac McCarthy in a charity shop recently (from which I hear the film was very faithfully translated). I hope to get down to reading it soon, as soon as I'm done with my current reading material. For my thoughts upon that, see the "What are you reading?" thread.
