Diving Bell and the Butterfly, TheDiving Bell and the Butterfly, TheThe DVD edition of this landmark film contains many bonus features, inlcuding: Submerged: A look inside The Diving Bell and the Butterfly; A Cinematic Vision; Audio Commentary with Director Julian Schnabel; and Charlie Rose Interviews Julian Schnabel.continue > No Country for Old MenNo Country for Old MenIn the making-of docu, actor Tommy Lee Jones (who should have been nominated for an Oscar for his Sheriff Bell) describes the movie as both "a horror" film and "a comedy." Others see it as "a noir" or "modern Western," and the fact that different labels and genres are used suggest how richly dense the text and subtext are. It's still my favorite film of 2007, one that clearly shows a new emotional maturity in the Coens' evolving oeuvre.continue >
