THE LADYKILLERS (2004) - April 10, 2004 (S)
While not one of the Coen brothers' best movies, even their worst movie is better than most regular movies. Tom Hanks is a highlight in this movie about a heist gone bad. I liked how, by the end, everyone was dead. Dark comedy. And being a Coen brothers movie, it certainly looked good. I also liked the cat, Pickles. The funniest part probably being when Garth Pancake (GK Simmons, who was almost as over-the-top as Tom Hanks) was trying to demonstrate that the plastic explosive was harmless without the detonator, hitting it with a hammer and blowing it up in the process. "Frankly ma'am, I'm not sure I heard anything at all." Also, that garbage-barge seemed to make awfully frequent trips to that island... ***
