Has No Country for Old men been shown in Belfast yet?

There were previews last week end - think it opens this week end.

Yeah, starts friday.

I watched it yesterday and I was engrossed the whole way through.  Javier Bardem in it is excellent in it and plays a psychopath to a T.

There's obviously a few unexpected bits along the way which adds to the overall enjoyment.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film, but it was totally different to what i'd expected.  It's also not something that a woman would enjoy.

Throughly enjoyed it as well - not as good as Fargo but still very very enjoyable.

Took me ages to work out who the main characters wife was...

Yeah, looking forward to the "No Country for Old Men", read the book last year and its pretty dark, but the Coen brothers are brilliant filmmakers(and have a great sense of humour) so I'm expecting a lot

Looking forward to seeing Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood - it is supposed to be amazing and he's an obvious contender for an Oscar (if they're on that is!).

Saw "The Assasination of Jesse James by The Coward Robert Ford" last night. Very good, great performances, very well made but...in some ways it's almost like a documentary, and the voice overs adds to that feeling a little. It's still very good, it moves at a steady pace but it definitely isn't an action movie, despite containing very realistic, non-dramatised violence. Pitt, Affleck and Rockwell are excellent, as are all the supporting cast - right from the first moment you first see Affleck as Bob Ford you just get that feeling that there is something creepy about him, and can see why every he invoked that emotion in his contemporaries. Very realistic and not at all romanticised, it focuses on the characters involved not their adventures, but in the end it's very hard to feel much empathy for the characters involved.

Charlie wilson's war imho was pure shite, boring!!

Care to elaborate?

Was it "pure shite, boring" or was it just not your type of thing?   
The only criticism I'd have of it is that it was too short but Aaron Sorkin is a genius.

Totally agree pints... West Wing is probably my favourite TV show ever and I was gutted to learn that they axed Studio 60... I thought it was class. Enjoyed Charlie Wilson's War also the dialogue and the banter in Sorkin's screenplay's is pure class.
