(DVD)\">O Brother, Where Art Thou?<\/a>, the Coen brothers&#8217; last outing. A great little film, as it turns out. I&#8217;d already picked up the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00004XQ83\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Amazon: O Brother, Where Art Thou? (CD)\">soundtrack<\/a> 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&#8217;ve seen from them &#8212; and one of the better performances I think I&#8217;ve seen <a href=\"http:\/\/us.imdb.com\/Name?Clooney,+George\" title=\"IMDB: George Clooney\">George Clooney<\/a> give. Incidentally, now I&#8217;m going to have to find <a href=\"http:\/\/us.imdb.com\/Title?0284067\" title=\"IMDB: Down From the Mountain\">Down from the Mountain: Live Concert Performances by the Artists &amp; Musicians of &#8216;O Brother, Where Art Thou?&#8217;<\/a>, which apparently is available both on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00005MJYJ\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Amazon: Down From the Mountain (CD)\">CD<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00005NVHA\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Amazon: Down From the Mountain (DVD)\">DVD<\/a>.
