One of the running themes in many films directed by the Coen brothers (Fargo, No Country for Old Men) has revolved around the idea that they do not seem to like their characters (there is also another running gag that their characters are mostly, for lack of a better word, dumb). As much as we […]
There are certain words that I generally don’t like to use. One of those words is corny. Unfortunately, upon seeing initial trailers for this film, “corny” was the only word that really kept coming to mind. I was not quite sure why.
