Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)

No Country for Old Men
Javier Bardem, Rodger Boyce
Miramax, 2008
Totally Different Take on an Old Story
+ no country for this ending
+ Another Coen Classic
The basis for this movie is the old conundrum, "What would you do if you found a fortune in drug money?" Would you keep it, leave it alone, turn it into the police? What do you think would happen if the 'bad guys' knew that you had the money?

Order of the Phoenix is Great!
