On Friday, I saw two very different movies: NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and ENCHANTED. I basically agree with everything Daniel said earlier about the two, but here are some quick reviews anyways:
No Country for Old Men-Above and beyond the best film of the year. Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem and Tommy Lee Jones all deserve Oscars for their outstanding work, and it is undeniably the best screenplay of the year. The Coen brothers have outdone themselves. A
Enchanted-Amy Adams is simply sublime, and it has one of the best premises of the year, but there were some serious script problems and plot holes. It wanted to be a musical, a love story, a princess movie, a fish-out-of-water story, a stepdaughter-stepmom story, a father-daughter story and a good vs. evil story. It was just too much. However, that said, I would be both a douche bag and a liar if I said that I didn't have fun. And Amy Adams is VERY worthy of her buzz. B

I beg to differ. Putting "it wanted to be a musical" is ridiculous! That isn't plot related! Same goes for the princess movie part.
