Friends with Benefits

As far as romantic comedies go this is actually quite good.  Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake were good together, although it was Woody Harrleson who stole the show.  Basically two friends both fed up with relationships decide that to satisfy their needs they would help each other out, so to speak.  The outcome is as predictable as any rom-com but as with all of these it’s more about the journey than the result, which for the most part is very funny.

Film 98/365, Day 106/365 – No Country for Old Men

I’ve never really enjoyed the Coen brothers work but was willing to give this one a chance and I was really enjoying it… right up until the last thirty minutes.  Once more the Coen brothers have wasted my time.  Can I have an ending please?  I'm disappointed because it was all going so well and then they blew it.  The acting was all very good but my main problem is with the story telling.

Synopsis: A Texas welder discovers a drug deal that has gone wrong and all members of the deal have been killed.  There is also a case full of money which he takes.  Unfortunately for him the case has a tracker in it and there are some very nasty people who want it back.
