After Enterprise, I watched O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the Coen brothers’ last outing. A great little film, as it turns out. I’d already picked up the soundtrack a while back, which is an incredible collection of old-time bluegrass, folk, and gospel music, and it was neat finally seeing how all this wonderful music fit in with the film itself. The Coen brothers, of course, have a twisted sense of humor that I just love, and the movie was definitely one of the better outings I’ve seen from them — and one of the better performances I think I’ve seen George Clooney give. Incidentally, now I’m going to have to find Down from the Mountain: Live Concert Performances by the Artists & Musicians of ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’, which apparently is available both on CD and DVD. Hmmm…Christmas is coming up pretty soon….
