No Country For Old Men
80th Academy Awards - 2008 Oscar Best Picture

Best Director winners and winners of the Best Motion Picture of 2007 for the film

Subscribe to Movies Reviews by Film Critic Michael Phillips  RSS     SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

"No Country For Old Men" is a mesmerizing thriller from Academy Award-winning filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen, based on the acclaimed novel by Pulitzer Prize winning American master, Cormac McCarthy.

The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones.

 

"No Country For Old Men" features a cast that includes Academy Award-winner Tommy Lee Jones ("The Fugitive," "Men in Black"), Josh Brolin ("Grindhouse"), Academy Award-nominee Javier Bardem ("The Sea Inside"), Academy Award-nominee Woody Harrelson ("The People Vs. Larry Flynt") and Kelly Macdonald ("Trainspotting").

"No Country for Old Men" Received eight nominations for the 80th Academy Awards, including nominations for best picture, best director and best supporting actor.

 

Atonement
2008 Oscar Best Picture Nominee

Atonement - 80th Academy Awards Oscar Nominations 2008 - Best Picture

"Atonement" Received seven nominations including major nominations for best picture and best supporting actress.

Filmed on location in the United Kingdowm, the films story spans several decades.

In 1935, 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis (Saoirse Ronan) and her family live a life of wealth and privilege in their enormous mansion.

 

 

On the warmest day of the year, the country estate takes on an unsettling hothouse atmosphere, stoking Brionys vivid imagination

 

Juno
2008 Oscar Best Picture Nominee

Juno - 80th Academy Awards Oscar Nominations 2008 - Best Picture

"Can’t we just kick it old school? I could just put the baby in a basket and send it your way. You know, like Moses in the reeds."

Meet Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) – a confidently frank teenage girl who calls the shots with a nonchalant cool and an effortless attitude as she journeys through an emotional nine-month adventure into adulthood.

Quick witted and distinctively unique, Juno walks Dancing Elk High's halls to her own tune - preferably anything by The Stooges - but underneath her tough no nonsense exterior is just a teenage girl trying to figure it all out.

 

Michael Clayton
2008 Oscar Best Picture Nominee

Michael Clayton - 80th Academy Awards Oscar Nominations 2008 - Best Picture

"Michael Clayton" Garnered nominations for best picture, best director, best actor, best supporting actor best supporting actress and best original screenplay

George Clooney stars in the title role of Michael Clayton, a "fixer" at Kenner, Bach & Ledeen, a top Manhattan law firm.

A former criminal prosecutor from a working-class neighborhood, Clayton is an anomaly at the white-shoe firm; in spite of his 15-year tenure, he has not been promoted to partner and probably never will be.

His boss, Marty Bach, sees Clayton as an invaluable asset to the firm, but only in his "niche," one that is relegated to cleaning up the firm’s sticky situations quickly and quietly.

 

There Will Be Blood
2008 Oscar Best Picture Nominee

There Will Be Blood - 80th Academy Awards Oscar Nominations 2008 - Best Picture

"There Will Be Blood" Received nominations for best picture, best director and best actor.

A sprawling epic about family, faith, power and oil, THERE WILL BE BLOOD is set on the radical frontier of California’s turn-of-the-century petroleum boom.

The story chronicles the rise of one Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), who transforms himself from a down-and-out silver miner raising a son on his own into a self-made oil tycoon.
