| I sat watching the Coen Bros. latest film, "O'Brother, Where Art Thou?" in
stunned silence. I certainly watched with admiration that the Coens would be
interested in the Depression era. I liked the art direction and the
cinematography by gifted...more |

| by Mark O'Hara |
| I have always liked George Clooney, even though I have never thought he was
a very good actor. The man involves himself with good causes, and he comes
from a family famous in the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area, not far from
where I live. more |

| by JONATHAN RICHARDS |
| Trust me (even though you should never trust anyone who says "trust
me"): this is a wonderful movie. The Coen Brothers have made a slyly
crafted, joyously eclectic picaresque road/buddy movie drawn from
sources as diverse as Preston Sturges and...more |

| After such a dismal year that "Castaway" is considered one of its best
films, the release of a Coen Brothers film is certainly cause for

| by Jon Popick |
| A weak offering from the Coen brothers will usually still be head and
shoulders above most other films, a point proven with O Brother, Where
Art Thou?. Compared to any of the Coen’s previous films, O Brother just
doesn’t measure up. But since the...more |

| O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?, an adaptation of Homer's classic tale, "The
Odyssey," is by none other than the Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan. You

there aren't any subtitles, and the...more |

| You gotta hand it to the Coen brothers. Even with the great success of FARGO
a few years back, they have still managed to maintain their integrity, their
quirky filmmaking nature and their innate ability NOT to sell out. This film
is yet another example...more |
