Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

If you want to get your typical film geek riled up, an easy method is to bring up the movies of the Coen brothers.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

The Coen brothers have based their latest film on "The Odyssey" by Homer. Naturally, coming from them, it is a very loose interpretation of that Greek classic. ...read the complete O Brother movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

Dark Horizons (Garth Franklin)

I've only ever been a so-so fan of the Coen Brothers. Whilst I liked its dark edge, "Fargo" I found only funny in patches. On the opposite side, I quite enjoyed "The Big Lebowski" and loved it even more after numerous viewings with its great...read the complete O Brother, Where Art Thou?
