What is the best movie you've seen this month (November '07) in the theaters or on DVD?

Watched "American Gangster" at the theatre and REALLY enjoyed it.



I've heard really good stuff about "No Country for Old Men" - but haven't gotten to see it yet.



As far as DVD goes - I've got quite a ridiculous sized collection... just last weekend I watched "Apollo 13" ... "300" ... "the Matrix" ... "Con Air" ... and "Dark City" just because I felt like being entertained during a weekend at home.

2 in the theaters:



I hope the recent film, Lars and the Real Girl (2007), wins an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Lars' (Ryan Gosling, The Notebook) premise of presenting himself and his Internet-ordered doll as a couple to the community is surprisingly original, and it works. Moreover, the movie takes the viewer through a spectrum of emotions, hilarity, touching compassion and vicariously sweet romance.



The cinematographers do a great job with Gosling, getting intimately close to his painfully shy, innocent character who slowly, self-consciously reveals the secret of his reasons for being so intimacy-averse. What a contrast!



I hope Gosling gets the Best Actor award, and that Emily Mortimer, as Karin, gets the Best Supporting Actress award: As Lars' sister-in-law, she expresses well - through her face and physical movements - her frustration with being unable to connect with her isolated brother-in-law, practically hurling herself - and her unconditional love - at Lars.



And Patricia Clarkson's (Far from Heaven) Dagmar, as the town doctor, sympathetically plugs into Lars' world without raising an incredulous eyebrow, and delivers some great knowing wisdom, as well as a properly restrained, nurturing relationship, neither suffocating nor too distant.



2. No contest in the thriller department: "No Country for Old Men" (2007), which is the latest effort by the Coen Brothers. Stars Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive), Javier Bardem (Before Night Falls) and Josh Brolin.



The Coens have outdone themselves in producing another masterpiece, even better than Blood Simple and Fargo.



It kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole movie. Whenever Chigurh (Bardem) is on screen, you're watching a living, breathing menace. It is not for the squeamish. My arms were tingling, and I was gasping in amazement!



The Coens use no music; it's all in the action. Sometimes it's in the close-ups of the tiniest movements that pull you intimately close and horrify or shock you: their attention to detail and their pacing are extraordinary. They give you such visual detail that needs no dialogue, so the tension builds in the deafening silence.



Go with a friend so that you can discuss all the surprises, twists and turns, including the unique ending, afterward. It's seamless, and it'll really make you think.



This is the best thriller I've seen since Silence of the Lambs, maybe the best ever. Enjoy! :-D



Checking the film-time listings, yet? :)
