'Lions for Lambs' political preaching is tired, almost senseless

In "Lions for Lambs," Robert Redford's newest directorial offering, Redford casts himself as a professor at a California university.

Joel and Ethan Coen utilize an ever-present combination of an all-star cast, a masterful script, and truly ground breaking direction. This movie has no music and the stars almost never interact on screen. The guys that created "Fargo" (1996) and "The Big Lebowski" (1998) have now come up with another classic in "No Country for Old Men," based on the 2005 book of the same name by Cormac McCarthy
