When a man stumbles upon a bloody scene and two million dollars in cash, his decision to take the money sets off an unstoppable chain reaction of violence. Hunted by a psychopathic killer, the man tries desperately to put an end to his pursuer while the local Sheriff follows the bodies left behind. No Country for Old Men is the 4-time Oscar-winning movie from Joel and Ethan Coen starring Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem, winner of the Academy Award for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role."No Country for Old Men arrived at my house as an Oscar-nominated film, and it walked away with 4 awards before I had a chance to watch it. The "best picture" winner is always worthy of viewing, either because it's a great movie, or because you're able to shake your head in disgust after viewing it, proclaiming another movie as being "much, much better." I went in with an open mind, even though I strongly disliked Fargo, the other movie that provided the Coen brothers wi...

Javier Bardem confesses that he spent the first few months of 2004 lying on his couch. The Oscar-nominated actor wasn't goofing off watching Golden Girls repeats, though — he was preparing for his role as a quadriplegic in his latest critically-acclaimed film, The Sea Inside.
"I would lie still on the sofa trying talk to myself and going through different emotional states," Bardem explains. "And then I realized that it wasn't working — I was moving like a maniac. So I would put a camera on myself and say some monologues. I would do that for several hours every day. Then, during the shooting, I had five hours of makeup, plus 10 hours of shooting. So that was 15 hours a day in bed, plus the hour I spent in my bed at home sleeping."
That may sound like more of a vacation than a job, but the mood on the set wasn't particularly lighthearted, due to the story Sea tells. Based on a true story, it follows Ramon Sampedro, a quadriple
