I didn’t find <i>The Killing</i> too bad because I couldn’t connect what was being said with what I was reading but <i>Spiral</i> and <i>Wallander</i> were irritating at times and I don’t like to be distracted like that. Carrie and I have yet to see <i>True Grit</i>. Carrie is a huge Coen Brothers fan and we have almost all their films on video admittedly. I’m not such a big fan – I’ve never been able to sit through <i>Raising Arizona</i> (and I’ve tried twice) – but <i>O Brother, Where Art Thou?</i> was interesting. They murdered <i>The Ladykillers</i>. I’m quite a fan of Carter Burwell though – he’s not my favourite soundtrack composer but I’ve a few CDs of his work. The soundtrack to <i>True Grit</i> is a little repetitious on its own but it’s still quite moving. The main problem is that it makes me think of <i>The Night of the Hunter</i>.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.com
