In Reply to: My favorite film makers of the '90s...they have done nothing worth watching since O! Brother nt posted by Jazz Inmate on August 1, 2007 at 10:53:33:
They've only done three movies since 'O' Brother', and one of those I really enjoyed ('The Man Who Wasn't There'), due mainly to Billy Bob's acting, and the superb black and white filmography.
I'd give 'Intolerable Cruelty' a "Worth Seeing". Yes, it's a fluffy throwaway, but it has it's moments. Just nowhere near as clever as their other comedies, like 'Raising Arizona'.
Which leaves 'Ladykillers'. And you're right, it's a dog.
I think most of the issue is that they raised their own bar so high that when they don't reach the same level, their films seem mediocre in comparison.
What'd ya think of that trailer? Kind of 'Blood Simple'-like.
