Cool facts huh?Looks like we are gonna have lotsa veterans in the movie "A Serious Man". And I'm expecting some very experienced acting. But that's all about the actors now.

Okay, this has never been done before in the my history,I'm gonna be reviewing the directors of the show!

Aight', for the movie "A Serious Man", is it directed by the Coen brothers, which consists of Joel Coen and Ethan Coen.

Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, known professionals like the Coen brothers, is the American filmmaker.

For over twenty years, couples who wrote and directed several successful films, ranging from the crazy comedy (O Brother, Where Art Thou, Raising Arizona, The Hudsucker Proxy) to the thriller Hard (Miller's Crossing, Blood Simple, The man who wasn 't there, No Country for Old Men), to genre films which blur together (Fargo, The Big Lebowski Big Bowling, Barton Fink and Burn After Reading).

The brothers write, direct and produce their films jointly, although until now, Joel received sole credit for directing and Ethan for producing. They scenarios often alternate top billing, while they share the film credits for editor under the pseudonym Roderick Jaynes.

They are known in the film business as a "two-headed director", when they share the same vision of their films. The actors can approach either brother with a question and get the same answer.

Amazing,huh?who would've thought there will be two directors in the movie "A Serious Man"?!

Well, since most of the casts are experienced ones, I'd hope that the movie "A Serious Man" would turn out to be good and hilarious.

Oh,and don't forget, the movie "A Serious Man" is going to be on screen on 2nd October 2009.

Don't miss it!

Canovie,off.

A Serious Man

"Are you freakin' serious?!You wanna go to New Zealand?!"

...was what my dad said when I joked to him about wanting to be a sheep breeder.Haha.

LOL,hey guys! It's been a freakin' long time since the last post, eh?But don't ya worry no more, I'll be more active now and post loads and loads more of reviews for ya!

Okay so for this post,I'll be reviewing about the movie "A Serious Man".

A Serious Man is the story of an ordinary man’s search for clarity in a universe where Jefferson Airplane is on the radio and F-Troop is on TV. It is 1967, and Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg), a physics professor at a quiet Midwestern university, has just been informed by his wife Judith (Sari Lennick) that she is leaving him.

She has fallen in love with one of his more pompous colleagues, Sy Ableman (Fred Melamed), who seems to her a more substantial person than the feckless Larry. Larry’s unemployable brother Arthur (Richard Kind) is sleeping on the couch, his son Danny (Aaron Wolf) is a discipline problem and a shirker at Hebrew school, and his daughter Sarah (Jessica McManus) is filching money from his wallet in order to save up for a nose job.

While his wife and Sy Ableman blithely make new domestic arrangements, and his brother becomes more and more of a burden, an anonymous hostile letter-writer is trying to sabotage Larry’s chances for tenure at the university.

Also, a graduate student seems to be trying to bribe him for a passing grade while at the same time threatening to sue him for defamation. Plus, the beautiful woman next door torments him by sunbathing nude. Struggling for equilibrium, Larry seeks advice from three different rabbis. Can anyone help him cope with his afflictions and become a righteous person – a mensch – a serious man?

Wow.Kinda cool plot don'cha guys thinks?Well, that's the text part.And now,for the video part.




Yeap.Totally sounds like a helpless average working executive who's trying to figure out what's wrong with his life,but in the end, there was nothing wrong with it.

A Serious Man is the kind of story where an average person, who works in the white collar industry faces a tremendous amount of pressure and at the same time, he is unsatisfied with his current life.

His life may be,for example ;on the verge of divorce and his kids are all grown up and does not like him that much.

Well, I guess it would all depend on the screenwriter,director and actors.

For the cast and staff reviews, you can go here.

Okay that's it for now. See you later.

Movie Canovie.
