Hail, Caesar!

Rating: 1.5 cats
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Starring: Joanna Newsom | Joaquin Phoenix | Josh Brolin | Katherine Waterston | Owen Wilson | Reese Witherspoon

Rating: 1.5 cats
Director: Oliver Stone
Starring: Elizabeth Banks | Ellen Burstyn | James Cromwell | Jeffrey Wright | Josh Brolin | Richard Dreyfuss | Scott Glenn

Director: Ethan Coen | Joel Coen
Starring: Beth Grant | Javier Bardem | Josh Brolin | Kelly McDonald | Tommy Lee Jones | Woody Harrelson

No Country for Old Men

Barbara says: “Definitely one of my favorites this year. A film that makes you think about chance and how we react to what life throws at us. Hard to figure out who the heroes really are. The Coens have done
