I enjoyed the Coen Brothers more than any other directors this year. I like the way they incorperate some screw ball comedy aspects into their more serious noir-type films like Fargo and No Country for Old Men. This quality really gives the Coen Brothers a certain style that is unique to only them.
Now to review the films. Raising Arizona was an interesting one for me. The screw ball type attitude for this movie was really funny. I loved the narriration. It made you feel for Hi, even though you had no good reason to. But then towards the middle and the end, you dont really root for him at all, like in many of the Coen Brother's films. The narriration is eerily simular to that of My Name is Earl, the sitcom on FOX.
Fargo and Old Country for Old Men were both dark movies, but alos had that screw ball comedy mixed style. Both films had great plots. You find yourself watching the wqhole picture, not just one side of things, which is really cool. Fargo gets an 8/10. No Country a 9.5 and Arizona a 7.5. Overall the Coehn Brothers were my favorite director study so far.

Bobby I never really thought about the screwball comedy aspect of the Coen Brothers films. It is a good point though, because they definetely have that screwballish quality to them sometimes. Raising Arizona is definetely the best example of the I agree
Good work on the post big guy, I completely agree that all these movies have really interesting and suspenseful plots, without them the movies wouldn't have been nearly as good as they were.
