This movie took home the 'Best Picture' Oscar in 2008. I'm usually not a fan of Oscar nominated movies because most of them are too artsy-fartsy for me. With that said, I did enjoy the Coen brothers' "Fargo," and so I was expecting a lot. And boy, was I DISAPPOINTED! The movie was terrible. Although I officially slept twice, it may have been 3-4 times. The movie was so slow and so random at times that the few killing scenes couldn't keep me awake. You know what I hate most about these types of movies -- when the good guy is running away from gun men in open areas and every bullet misses him. Oh man, just terrible! It was so bad, I couldn't wait for the movie to end so I could watch American Idol.

***** SPOILER ALERT *****

And don't get me started of how Brolin's character who is in 75% of the movie gets killed OFFSCREEN! Sure, some say that it was "creative" that they did that, but you know what else is creative? You showing us how the Mexican thugs, who appeared for 15 seconds onscreen, guns down the bad ass who avoided death like 5 times from big bad Javier. And why is it that every Mexican in the movie had a gun? Seriously? And how did the Mexicans even know he had the money? Wouldn't it have been more "creative" if they just had Javier's character just mow everyone down? Plus, we're not even sure what happened with the money. Oh man, just terrible. Seacrest out!
