O Brother, Where Art Thou?
No sense in rambling on about this modern masterpiece from the Coen brothers. We've all seen it, we all know it is a modernized version of Homer's THE ODYSSEY and we all know George Clooney got screwed by the Oscar board when he was overlooked for his work here. About all I can point out about this film, which I abosolutely adore by the way, is the lovely Musetta Vander plays one of the sirens. We know and love her from her television work in such clsassics as Buffy, Xena, Highlander, Babylon 5 and Star Trek Voyager and I genuinely surprised she doesn't get more film work. The other point of note is the lady looking for the Soggy Bottom Boys record is in fact modern hybrid blue grass legend to be Gillian Welch and if you enjoyed the soundtrack to this film you would be well served to explore her music as she is bloody amazing!

You are bloody amazing by the way!
Gillian Welch is fabulous...
Singing the songs days later in ones head...The boys were great. The song that the girls sing by the river, bewitching!...
