Hey, I'm Nayana. If you see a girl with dreadlocks sitting in the fifth row, center seat, at your theater... chew your popcorn quietly. And don't talk during the movie.
OK, now that we've got that straight, enjoy the bloggy goodness!
We're actually running a retrospective on the Coen brothers all month long at my site, MovieZeal. We've reviewed everything up through Barton Fink (going in chronological order), and later in the month people from other sites will be submitting articles and features on them.
I've been watching their films chronologically myself, and it's fascinating to see their evolution as filmmakers. It amazes me how consistent they remain as they hop from noir to gangster to screwball comedy and back again. There are little touches that make their way into all of their films that you only begin to notice when you watch them all back to back.

I think Hudsucker Proxy is my favorite Coen brothers movie. No wait, I know it's my favorite.

I LOVE this!!! (And it reminds me that I have a few Coen Brothers films yet to see.)

Hudsucker Proxy a good Coen choice ... look forward to your review!

Chris, that doesn't surprise me about you. You and I are both into movies that are a bit on the artsy/trippy but visually striking side.
Pat... I know, isn't it fun?
Linda... I'll get right on that. :-)
