As of April 3, 2010, I have decided to set a goal for myself. By December 31, 2010, I want to have watched 100 movies that I have never seen before. I may not make the goal since I'm already behind, seeing as how I have started in April, but, I still think that this would be fun. I will write a review about each movie that I see.

Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Everrett Ullysus McGill (George Clooney), a prisoner, is sick of breaking rocks in the heat of a Mississippi summer. So, he decides to escape with his two dim accomplices, Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson) and Pete (John Turturro). Trying to reclaim a buried treasure before its lost forever underneath a lake, the three make their way to Everett's homestead. Along the way, they meet a one-eyed Bible salesman, a blind prophet, a trio of sexy sirens, and a man who sold his soul to the devil. In their race to reach the treasure before it's flooded, they end up crashing a Ku Klux Klan lynch mob, help a sensitive Baby-Face Nelson rob three banks in two hours, and even have enough time to put out a best selling record as "The Soggy Bottom Boys." Overall, I thought that this movie was decent. I actually got kind of bored during it, and managed to zone out during certain parts. Don't get me wrong, the acting was really good, but the storyline just didn't interest me like I originally thought it would.
I gave this movie 6/10 stars on imdb.com.
