It’s not too often when I go to a movie expecting a lot and wind up receiving what I expect. Most movies are overly hyped and turn out to be truly awful, despite excellent reviews. Other movies are sleepers – the critics hate them and I think it’s the...

Pros: Brilliant soundtrack, great casting, hilarious
Cons: drags a bit middle-to-end

Brother Where Art Thou is an extremely funny film, and in spite of the rash of Modernized Classics (i.e. Romeo and Juliet with Danes and DiCrappio, Hamlet with Mel Gibson, Anthony Hopkins as Titus – with the Tanks and Cars, maybe even Keanu Reeves...

Brothers Ethan and Joel Coen have made a reputation for themselves as filmmakers who find the quirks in life's cliches. There's no exception in their latest film, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" For starters, they have based their work on Homer's "The...

Pros: The cast and their performances are superb!

Pros: Good performances, especially Clooney and Nelson, fantastic music
Cons: Bad characters, waste of talent, lackluster script

Pros: The unendingly clever screenplay, George Clooney's fantastic performance and that wonderful soundtrack!
Cons: Not a whole heck of a lot.

Ask a movie fan their favorite Coen film and you'll get a lot of different answers. Fargo seems to be the most common reply, thanks mainly to the fact that this was their most heavily-marketed (and Oscar-friendly) work, but a wonderfully warped...

Cons: The movie tends to be hard to keep up with.

Cons: None
