O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?
September 13, 2013  | By David Bianculli  | 4 comments

AMC, 9:15 p.m. ET

 

This may be my very favorite Coen Brothers movie of all, which is really saying something – and which is why I highlight this 2000 music-filled, laugh-filled, ludicrously loose adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey (!!) almost every time it’s televised. Each time, I hope to persuade a few more readers to see it for the first time. George Clooney, Tim Blake Nelson and John Turturro play three chain-gang convicts (and backwoods recording group) on the run. And this time, I think I’ll use, as enticement, a picture of the three Sirens who tempt our heroes along the way. Previously, I’ve consistently misidentified one of them as Melinda Clarke – but even though Clarke played a Siren in an episode of Charmed, the actress who looks like Clarke (a huge compliment, by the way) actually is Musetta Vander, who vamps in the water along with Christy Taylor and Mia Tate.

Reading about O Brother, Where Art Thou? made me nostalgic for evenings when I just want to kick back and relax after a long day. I recently tried https://vegashero.ca geared toward Canadian players, and played a few low-stakes games. The experience was smooth, and the bonuses added a fun twist without needing to invest much. It became a nice little escape, much like settling in for a movie with good music and laughs.

Good evening, a colleague recommended me to try something that didn't require much time and so I joined play jonny casino . Initially I had a series of small losses, but I took advantage of a bonus they offer for players in Greece and the game turned in my favor. With a little patience and a few bold moves came a pleasant win that made me add it to my evening routine. It's convenient and fun.

Saw this film in the theater. Loved it. Bought the DVD. Later, used it to fine tune my friends home TV speakers for balance.

C'mon boys, this one's a treasure.
