DaVinci Code, the movie...not as good as the book that is for sure, but excellent nonetheless...8 out of 10 Blood Diamond, very violent, very real, very good...8 out of 10 regards

PID, I'm a big fan of the Coen Brothers. And Blood Simple was great. Those Coens are crafty. "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" is inspired in part by another favorite film from the 40's called "Sullivan's Travels". If you like old movies, that one is near the top of my all time list of great American films. There are so many clever references in "Oh Brother" that you could never find them all. en.wikipedia.org The only film by them I didn't love was "Barton Fink". I just don't get it. GT TH

PlayitDown, Don't mean to butt in but Blood Simple is such a great movie. I believe it has the all time classic 'jumped out of my seat scene'. When M. Emment Walsh is after Frances McDormand and she escapes from a bathroom to an adjoining room. Walsh reaches around the window and the camera zooms in on his hand menacingly feeling the window sill of the adjoining room where Frances is hiding. You know the rest. A second great scene is the Dan Hedaya rising from the grave. I've seen two versions of Blood Simple, one with this scene and one without. Great movie.
