Seven Pounds (2008) - ★★★☆☆

So, Woody Harrelson has brown eyes at the end of this movie

Even though I know they didn't actually put Will Smith's eyes into Woody's skull, it still looks

Very weird!

Eventually you probably would get used to it but since it only happens at the end of the movie you don't really get a chance to

Not that I have anything against brown eyes! I have brown eyes! One time in my senior year of high school I had to go home after fifteen minutes because my eyes got really

P uffy and I was crying in the bathroom stall outside the auditorium. I'm not sure if it was allergies

Or something. Anyway this movie also has Rosario Dawson in it who was in Rent. Recently Rosario has been in the news because she was dating

Unsuccessful presidential candidate Cory Booker, someone I think

Nobody likes, probably not even Rosario

Dawson.

Shocking (that's a description of this movie, which really did have a shocking ending but that might have been only because I probably was not paying attention. I guess I probably should have figured out what was going to happen when Will Smith brought a deadly jelly fish to the motel room he said he was going to live in until he died.)

brown eyed Woody. You have to admit it's a little scary.

The Hi-Lo Country (1998) - ★★★★★

A shockingly underrated and under-talked about Woody Harrelson masterpiece. Reminsicent of the classic Marty Robbins banger, "Tall Handsome Stranger," this is a must watch for cowboy fans and Woody Harrelson fans alike. Unequivocally Woody's best cowboy role!!!!!

No Country For Old Men (2007) - ★★★★☆

I think it's interesting that this, the second movie I've viewed on this grand adventure with a motif of tube-related crime, is called 'No Country For Old Men,' because something I noticed while watching it was that there were actually a couple old men in it, and they don't even die. I think that some would have me believe it is called this because it is a line from a famous poem, and is a reference to the disillusionment Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (an old man) feels with these modern times.... kids have green hair and nose piercings, and guys do violence with tubes. He probably feels like he doesn't belong in Texas anymore because of all these crazy kids and their newfangled violence, thus making the country not one which is for an old man. Nonetheless, he's there, and time sort of goes on no matter what, and things have always been bad in one way or another. He should probably get over it. That being said, I have a few ideas of other names this movie (yeah, I kno...

The Big White (2005) - ★★★☆☆

It is, perhaps, a little-known fact that a movie only needs exactly one (1) ingredient to be a good movie. That ingredient is not a good director (what even is a director? The guy who clacks the black and white thing and shouts "action!"?). That ingredient is not beautiful cinematography (though The Big White has no shortage of that. I really liked the vast snowy landscapes and also the matching snowy whiteness of the insurance office, especially since it was snowing outside my window while I watched this movie and I guess that just felt serendipitous). That ingredient is not an incredible and talented cast—something I think everyone agree this movie has (Robin Williams, yes, but also this guy , who looks like Pete "Mad Men" Campbell, but isn't. I like him a lot and would like to see more of him!). That ingredient is not even—dare I say it?—Woody Harrelson. Many a movie, in fact, as this blog evidences, is very bad in spite of Woody's wonderful presence. ...
