I like your new ratings, I try to group mine at IMDB, otherwise I can review films at three different sites. Fritz Lang...he's great though a bit slow (guess they all were that time by our standards). Interesting to know what you think of McCarthys book, I just reviewed his new one The Road.

Thanks :) I will check out your reviews at IMDB. I'm very excited about the few Fritz Lang films I have seen, but I agree there are some slow passages.
I'm just in the beginning of "No country for old men" and I have the new one too. I like your review and I like a good post-apocalyptic novel, so "The Road" is probably something for me.

You should also check out the film No Country For Old Men which opens this friday, it's excellent, and fully deserving of the oscars.

Tina said...

I most definately will. I love the Coen brothers.

Christian R said...

So is Jay Rubenstein's book worth the read?

I will tell you as soon as I'm finished :) Just began reading it. Had to finish The Road and Nachtzug nach Lissabon.
