Fargo 8.5/10
One of those movies that you can't turn off when you happen to catch it on tv. This time I watched the blu-ray. A very decent upgrade in picture quality, yet the sound benefits most this time. I like these Coen blu-rays, they boot straight to the menu screen. I wish all blu-rays were like that. Minor point, the extras are a straight port from the dvd, in 480p. Still fun to watch as I had not watched them before. The actors describe the Coen brothers as a bunch of stoners that got a million dollars and a camera and decided to shoot a movie. Actually $7 million according to imdb, pretty amazing what they can do with that.
Great characters and acting, it all looks so natural and relaxed. Love how the local cop doesn't show up till halfway through the movie then sorta casually strolls in the right direction, as if a triple homicide including a police officer is an every day occurrence.
I see there is a tv series now based on Fargo, called Fargo... Has anyone seen that?
